GURUGRAM: Deputy commissioner Ajay Kumar, in a meeting with builder management teams, stressed the urgency of expediting the structural audit in residential societies. He expressed dissatisfaction with builders delaying deposit of their share of audit fees, calling such behaviour ‘irresponsible' towards citizens towards citizens' safety.

“Delaying the structural audit and fee deposits shows a lack of accountability towards citizens' safety. Such behaviour is unacceptable," he stated, directing the defaulting resident welfare associations (RWAs) to attend a separate meeting and instructed builders to ensure compliance swiftly.

Additional deputy commissioner (ADC) Hitesh Kumar Meena clarified that in order to ensure faster completion of audits, builders were also given the option of choosing non-empanelled agencies with RWA approval.

In the first phase, 15 societies were covered. District Town Planner (DTP) Manish Yadav said that while testing in 11 of these were complete and repairs initiated in two, pending fees in others was delaying the process.

In the second phase, which included 23 societies, builders of 20 societies and RWAs of 22 societies were yet to submit their fees.

According to the DC, structural audits were critical for identifying vulnerabilities and initiating timely repairs to prevent potential hazards. He warned builders of strict action if further delays occurred, reiterating the administration's commitment to safeguarding residents' well-being.
