The inquiry committee, led by the Assistant Commissioner South, has raised questions regarding the follow-up actions taken after a danger notice was issued for the building. The committee has demanded that the SBCA present the official notice declaring the structure hazardous and provide evidence if any such notice was publicly displayed on the building.
Investigators are also looking into whether the notice was officially received, whether K-Electric was informed in writing to disconnect the power supply, and whether the SBCA issued instructions to the Water Board and Sui Southern Gas Company to suspend water, sewage, and gas connections to the building.
Further action will be taken after the committee’s detailed report is submitted.
