The September 8 incident where three migrant labourers died after falling off the scaffolding of an under-construction building in the Addagutta area of Kukatpally Housing Board (KPHB) colony led to the discovery of multiple violations in building norms.
The suspension of a Town Planning official, who is being held responsible for the violations, is underway. The suspension orders are prepared and await the signature of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Commissioner, officials informed. GHMC had earlier issued a show cause notice to the building owner; charge memos are also being issued to the City Planner and the Assistant City Planner.
The building in question had permissions for stilt plus five floors, however, defying the orders builder went ahead with construction of sixth floor. In addition, set back norms have been violated on all sides exceeding the limit of 10%, officials shared.
