MCD surveys 1,243 Delhi paying-guest accommodations
MCD is now surveying around 1,243 paying-guest accommodations, where about 24,000 people live, to figure out which ones are safe, need repairs, or are just too risky.
This survey wraps up by September 10 and is part of a bigger push to stop future disasters.
MCD says it is committed to keeping public spaces safe by taking action wherever needed.
