Kolkata godown collapse: WB minister Agnimitra Paul announces audit of new constructions, vows strict action

Kolkata: West Bengal Minister Agnimitra Paul on Thursday said that all new construction sites under the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) limits will undergo audits following the collapse of an under-construction godown shed in the city's Taratala area that killed eight people.

Speaking to ANI, Paul said, "Following CM's instructions, all new construction sites under KMC limits will be audited. Today, we will hold a meeting to formulate SoPs for such audits. There can be no forgiveness for those from the past government who were involved in this. Strict action will be taken in this case. Notices have been sent to all illegal buildings. It is very tough to now streamline what was done by the previous government by allowing the construction of illegal buildings."
