There are many buildings in Chandigarh that were initially designed or allotted as single storeyed structures but have been later developed with additional floors without following structural safety norms and provisions. Such housing structures need to be audited on priority.

Even based on geographical terms, Chandigarh falls in the high risk prone seismic zone IV in which special measures are required to be followed to safeguard buildings to be earthquake-resistant. Hence, an audit like this is very much necessary in the city.

Hi guys, a survey was also carried out in this regard... according to it, there is a large stock of non-engineered buildings in Chandigarh which have been developed without following the building norms.
