After the unfortunate incident in Shahberi Village of Greater Noida, Authority teams conducted an inspection of the village on Saturday. The team visited many high rises of the area and conducted checks to inspect quality of construction and its validity. While notice were issued to about 36 buildings, one building was also sealed with immediate effect.

The JP Heights building was found to be poorly constructed with no measures for rain water evacuation. The pillars of the building were cracked at different spots and a iron cover was erected by the builder to hide the cracks. The 7 storey building has 42 flats and two families were residing on the first floor. The basement was found filled by rain water. The cracks were also visible in the roof of the building. The inspecting team also noticed that the building was slightly bent in one direction.

The building has been declared completely unfit for occupancy and will remain sealed until it is demolished.
