After Kolkata warehouse collapse, Suvendu suspends commercial construction projects till July 31
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday (June 24) suspended till July 31 work of all under-construction commercial projects approved by the previous TMC government, and ordered a comprehensive audit of such projects following the warehouse collapse in the city that left five people dead.
The Chief Minister made the announcements after visiting the accident site and said preliminary reports submitted to him indicated that the sanctioned building plan of the collapsed warehouse was flawed.
“I have directed the Kolakat Municipal Corporation (KMC) commissioner and the Urban Development and Municipal Affairs Department to stop work at all under-construction commercial buildings approved by the previous government, including projects where permission was granted after filling up water bodies. All these will undergo an audit,” the CM said.
