M.C.D. working in Question
Unsystematic ( pick & Choose) Survey / Sealing of Buildinds in Ward no.221
Lalita Park building collapse took the life of 70 people and wounded as much. M.C.D. come in action after the collapse of building and started surveying the buildings. In the 1st phase M.C.D. issued notice of sealing 38 Buildings of the area and then all of sudden action shifted on other buildings reasons best known to M.C.D. Authorities. M.C.D. appointed a team of engineers and others called survey team. It was undoubted clear that survey will be pick & choose method than MCD team was advised to arrange videography while surveying the area but for no result. The survey was so unsystemic that on 1st day they sealed the buildings of Lalita Park Gali no 1 to 3 that is also without any criteria of distance from pusta, height of building. In 1 to 3 number gali on 1st day they left the buildings of most dangerous Zone that is along with pusta and others buildings of Gali no 1 to3 (neary ten more buildings ).On 2nd day MCD people leave the rest area of Lalita Park went to other area and after a week or so they came again to Lalita Park and sealed the building by pick and choose method up to gali No. 6 and most of building has not been sealed. This was repeated but area along with pusta was not touched and buildings in gali no 8to 12 were not touched.
The following questions are being raised by the public of the area of ward no 221 that is Krishna Kunj Municipal ward
1. What are the criteria of ceiling of the buildings?
2. Can the survey team included the area which is beyond 300 meters
3. Can the construction of 4th floor ascertained with out entering in the premises
4. Was it not necessary to take in to belief the local RWA to know the owner / occupant of the Building?
5. Numbers of houses effected in survey.
6. Number of house not effected in survey.
7. Are the houses not served notice considered to be authorized?
8. The same number of buildings one building sealed another not sealed.
9. Any toll free or telephone number immediate complaint.
10. It is fact that dangerous zone area along with pusta of 186 houses which is adjacent to pusta has been left while surveying/ sealing if yes then reason there there of.
11. Were power given to sealing squad not to disclose the criteria of sealing when requested by senior citizens but to misbehave with them by saying 300 meters distance has not been measured by tape but taken as per their will.
12. Is it fact that buildings left in survey and ceiling has deposited rupees one lac to Rs. 2 lac per buildings as compound charges to the MCD.
In the end it intimated a local survey is being conducted by this RWA. The correct position will be available with us and we will display the same in our RWA Bhagidari Bog.
There seems to be great violation and remedy for this is to take survey/sealing team to the building not surveyed / sealed intentionally in front of public of the area .
If proved action be taken publicly or judicial enquiry in the probe be ordered.
