Hundreds of residents have been told to evacuate apartments surrounding one in Delhi that collapsed on Monday with the loss of at least 66 lives.
The capital's municipal corporation has warned 38 blocks in the east of Delhi could be unsafe, and gave nearly 1,000 residents 24 hours to move out.
Rescue workers have halted the search for survivors from the collapsed block, but fear more bodies may be found.
The owner of the five-storey building was charged with culpable homicide.
The BBC's Brajesh Upadhyay in Delhi says most of the people being evacuated are poor migrant workers who now face homelessness.
He says the buildings' basements have been plagued by water-logging for years as they are right next to the Yamuna river.
The government has ordered an inquiry into Monday's tragedy in the Lalita Park residential area.
Witnesses described the block crumbling like a pack of cards, or as if it had been made of sand.
It is estimated there were 200 people inside, most of whom had come to Delhi in search of work.
