The CM directed the authorities concerned to identify the negligent and punish them severely as per law. “I have zero tolerance for those who play with the lives of people and children,” she said.
The CM said if incompetence and criminal negligence are found, the housing society should be sealed, adding that open manholes will be inspected in all societies. She gave a three-day deadline to government officials and institutions for the purpose.
