Earthquake threat in Delhi: High-rise buildings being checked for seismic stability

Seeking to ensure seismic stability of high-rise buildings, the SDMC has started identifying such structures and issuing notices to groups and institutions to submit structural audit reports.

Earlier, a structural consultant was appointed to strengthen the buildings and make those safe from a seismic point of view. The consultant suggested retrofitting of the structures by guniting, re-barring and jacketing of columns and strengthening of beams.
