Delhi mandates structural audits for public buildings after Satya Niketan collapse kills six

A fatal building collapse in Delhi's Satya Niketan neighbourhood, which killed six people, has prompted the city government to introduce mandatory structural audits and safety certifications for all public buildings. The new policy will require regular safety inspections across nursing homes, schools, and paying guest accommodations. Structures failing to meet certification standards will be barred from public use. Officials found negligent in overseeing compliance will face severe penalties under the new framework.
