Ten more dead bodies have been recovered from the debris of an under construction building at Moulivakkam in Chennai, taking the death toll to 58.



One of the dead bodies recovered from the accident site was that of a 10-year-old boy, police said. He might be the son of a construction worker, they added.



Kancheepuram district officials told TOI officials said the likelihood of finding more survivors from the debris was very remote.

Kancheepuram district officials told TOI officials said the likelihood of finding more survivors from the debris was very remote.



They said the rescue operations might be wrapped up by Friday evening.



The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), the Tamil Nadu police and other teams have been involved in the massive rescue operation at the accident site since Saturday evening



NDRF commandant M K Verma told TOI on Wednesday that rescue operations would continue "till the last rubble is removed."



Rescue workers searching for survivors at the site of a collapsed 11-storey building that was under construction at Moulivakkam in Chennai.



Big tragedies call for big steps-and the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) has just taken one.



The city's apex urban regulatory authority has set up 19 teams to inspect violations in close to 700 buildings that are under construction or were completed in the last one year.



The move comes four days after the collapse of a 12-storey building under construction at Moulivakkam on Saturday resulting in the death of 48 construction workers.



"As the first step, buildings that have violated approved plans will be issued notice to stop work forthwith," said a senior CMDA official. If violations are detected in buildings that were issued completion certificates in the last one year, the officials responsible for clearing the project would be taken to task, he said.



But a section of the bureaucracy felt no amount of inspection can fix responsibility on people who had given oral instruction to approve projects that had glaring violations.



The inspection teams will also look for major deviations in structural design. "Since our officials are not technically qualified to ascertain structural strength of buildings, we will seek the opinion of respective structural engineers if deviations from the drawings are detected," he said.



This is the first time that CMDA is getting involved in inspection of buildings midway through the construction. Hitherto, the agency used to inspect buildings only at the time of issuing completion certificates.



"Each team, headed by a deputy or assistant planner and comprising two planning assistants, will get cracking on Thursday and seek to inspect at least two to three buildings a day," said the CMDA official.



Buildings that were issued completion certificates in the last one year, those that are under construction and those whose planning permissions are pending with the regulatory agency would be covered in that order of priority, he said.



About 50% of the buildings identified for screening are multi-storey buildings. Those with a built-up area of more than 50,000sqft and with more than 50 dwelling units would be inspected in the first phase, the official said.



Chairman of Tamil Nadu chapter of Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Association of India, R Kumar said his organisation would extend full cooperation to CMDA in its endeavour.
