In a concerning incident at DLF New Town Heights, Sector-90, a portion of plaster fell from a flat, raising significant safety concerns among residents. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in this instance, but it has highlighted a recurring issue within the society.
The Department of Town and Country Planning Enforcement (DTPE) has taken serious note of these incidents, issuing a show-cause notice to DLF Limited. The notice demands an explanation from the builder within seven days and mandates the repair of all affected areas within 15 days.
