He was speaking after a meeting in the municipal corporation to mourn the victims of the Govind Towers building collapse. Satam also announced that the licences of structural engineer R N Raikar and architect Arun Ogale had been revoked. This decision comes a day after Chief Minister Manohar Joshi suspended two civic engineers for alleged dereliction of duty.

The Mayor plans to visit 30 cess buildings, 15 non-cess buildings and three municipal properties in dire need of repairs. He will be accompanied by civic improvements and properties portfolio in-charge Digambar Kandarkar, structural experts and the to civic officials. There are 107 dilapidated cess buildings in the city, informed Satam.

The survivors of Govind Towers will be shifted to a nearby school. The body of a little girl, who was reported to be missing in the debris and whoserescue was proving a tough task was finally identified by a relative at one of the hospitals. Residents will be shifted on an emergency basis to transit camps only after conducting a survey of the buildings and after holding talks with the Chief Minister. ``A decision on urgent repairs and eviction and shifting to transit camps will be decided only in a joint meeting. Private buildings are not the BMC's concern, and the state government has to assist in this regard,'' Satam stated.

The law will be strengthened with punitive effect. ``We are going to get very strict in our inquiries of buildings across the city. There should be no repeat of Govind Towers in the future,'' Satam cautioned.

Satam also clarified that there was no rift between him and the Chief Minister after Satam failed to inform civic reporters about the suspension of the two engineers on Wednesday. ``The Chief Minister's decision was known to municipal officials present in the Assembly. I could not go there due to the Mayor-in-Councilmeeting. Just because the news reached me later doesn't mean that I was sidelined. Don't unnecessarily cause a rift between me and Joshi,'' he told reporters.

Satam admitted that he had asked the MiC members not to attend the Civic Reporters Forum programme on the completion of hundred days of the Mayor-in-Council individually as ``they tend to make statements of their own.''
