Netizens heartbroken after building collapses on four

"The usual causes of such a collapse are that there was no proper engineering design and that the contractor cheated on the steel reinforcing and the concrete. These usually happen when the regulator like Municipal Assembly which gives the building permit was sloppy in the work."
