District authorities in Gurugram have commanded inhabitants of Towers E and F at Chintels Paradiso to evacuate within the next 15 days, as these buildings were deemed unstable, according to a structural audit report.
The audit report was prepared by a team from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, which declared these structures unsafe on January 29. Following the assessment, District Magistrate and Chairman of District Disaster Management Authority, Nishant Kumar Yadav, invoked the authority provided by the Disaster Management Act and Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) to issue the evacuation order.
As a result of the audit findings, the developer was instructed to evacuate the apartments in these two towers. It's important to note that these same towers were connected to a tragic incident last year, when two individuals lost their lives after a partial collapse of Tower D. The latter was also deemed unsafe by IIT-Delhi in a previous investigation report, which was shared with the residents and the developer in November 2022 for further action.
The developer informed the authorities that despite several attempts, some flat owners have remained in their apartments. To ensure the order is properly executed, District Town Planner (Enforcement) Manish Yadav has been assigned as the nodal officer to supervise the evacuation.
This recent order marks the fourth time Yadav has instructed residents to leave their apartments since the release of the IIT Delhi structural audit report that determined the towers were unfit for habitation.
Nishant Kumar Yadav underscored the severity of the situation, stating, "In view of the safety of the residents, an order has been issued under the sections of the Disaster Management Act and Section 144 of CrPC."
Yadav also warned of potential legal consequences for disobedience to the evacuation order. As per his statement, violators may face action under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 51 to 60 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, as well as other relevant laws.
In conclusion, the repeated orders and impending legal repercussions emphasize the seriousness of the structural deficiencies within the affected towers. The commitment of the district authorities to ensure the safety of the residents is clear. However, the speed at which the residents and the developer act in compliance with the orders will determine the final outcome. The situation brings to light the importance of strict adherence to building standards and the role of regular audits in ensuring residents' safety.
