MOHALI: Over a week after a building collapsed in Sohana, claiming two lives, Mohali municipal commissioner T Benith recommended the suspension of a building inspector for alleged dereliction of duty.

The suspended official has been identified as Amarpreet Singh, who was on probation in the building branch. "He had not acted against illegal structures in his area even after the building collapse. A show-cause notice was issued to him. Finding his reply unsatisfactory, his suspension was recommended," a senior MC official said.

A probe has also been launched to identify other building inspectors who allowed illegal constructions in the city in the last four years.
