Chennai building collapsed on June 28, 2014. Death toll has risen to 61.

As rescue operations by multiple agencies entered the sixth day, Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa announced that the one-man commission headed by Justice (Retd) R Reghupathy will probe the circumstances leading to the collapse of the building at suburban Porur on June 28.

"The Commission will find out whose ignorant attitude resulted in such a mishap that left many workers dead and others injured and decide on (fixing) those responsible for it," she said in a release.

Who is responsible for the mishap? Is it the builder, designers, or the authorities? We will get to know by the findings of this commission.

Here is a list of various permits that are generally required for constructing a realty project in India. However, these may vary for Municipal Authorities across India.

Now, once the commission probes the matter, we will get to know at which stage the laxity happened. We are also sure that necessary corrective actions will be taken to prevent such mishaps from happening in the future.

The construction processes will be streamlined and there will be enough watchdogs to make sure that construction of buildings take place as laid out in the design. We recommend setting up of non-partisan private construction quality agencies which will ensure that construction is as per the design and there is no usage of sub-standard material.
