Ghaziabad authorities seal 84 buildings
Ghaziabad, July 24 : After a five-storey building collapsed here on Sunday killing two people, the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has sealed 84 illegally constructed buildings, an official said on Tuesday.
The sealing of similar illegal constructions would continue, a GDA official told IANS requesting anonymity.
"The GDA regularly checks buildings for their age and the material used in construction. If a building fails to meet our criteria, we seal it," the official said.
On Sunday, a building crashed in Akash Nagar here, killing a man and a six-year-old child and injuring eight. The building was being built in violation of rules and without the GDA's approval.

Will Champai Soren become a game-changer for BJP in Jharkhand polls?
Ranchi: Champai Soren, a prominent figure in Jharkhand’s statehood movement, is contesting the 2024 assembly elections from Seraikela, a seat he has consistently held since 1991.
However, there is a surprising shift in his political journey this year. Having resigned from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) earlier this year, Soren is now representing the BJP, a move that could significantly impact the electoral dynamics in the state.
Soren’s switiching is seen as a strategic benefit for the saffron party, which has been working to expand its appeal among Jharkhand’s tribal communities, a demographic traditionally aligned with the JMM. His departure from the JMM, led by Shibu Soren and his son Hemant Soren, was fueled by dissatisfaction with the state government’s policies, which he claimed had failed to address tribal concerns.
Also known as "Jharkhand’s Tiger" for his instrumental role in the statehood movement of the 1990s, Champai Soren has respect and influence among tribal voters. His decision to switch the party could be a turning point in the BJP’s efforts to gain a stronger hold in a state where tribal votes often decide the outcome.
