The chief minister also hit out at BJP-led North Delhi Municipal Corporation over the incident and said it will have to keep its system in order. "Municipal corporation has the responsibility of safety of buildings...they will have to keep their system in order...they (MCDs) will have to strictly enforce their law," he also said.
