Jaipur: Following the death of two in a building collapse in the city on Saturday, the Jaipur Municipal Corporation-Heritage (JMC-H) took strict action against dilapidated buildings in the Walled City area, with eviction notices issued to 23 building owners in the Kishanpole zone on Sunday.They were instructed to vacate their unsafe properties without delay, and warned any failure to comply would lead to legal action and demolition of the buildings. In one such case at Subhash Chowk, the engineering wing of the JMC-H demolished a dangerously weakened portion of a building to prevent any accidents on Sunday.Giving priority to safety, the administration also made public announcements in various wards, urging residents to stay away from structurally unsafe buildings and report them immediately to authorities.
