Respected Dr Sreedharan,
Greetings from Yamuna Jiye Abhiyaan.
Sir, allow us to draw your kind attention to the entirely preventable tragedy witnessed on 15 November 2010 in the Lalita Park area of east Delhi. When we say preventable it is because such a high rise structure in the flood plain should never have been permitted to come up by the concerned authorities. Notwithstanding the alleged poor quality of the construction of the said building the primary contributory factor to the said collapse is its wrong location in the river bed/flood plain.
In this context, the under construction high rise consisting of 90 flats in the river bed proper by the DMRC almost diagonally opposite the site of the collapsed building raises a serious question mark on the desirability of the DMRC to go ahead with its construction in the river bed.
We are sure that you would have already directed the concerned DMRC officials to review the entire project in the light of the said happening. If not we once again request you for the needful.
Let DMRC shift its residential complex away from the river bed in its own as well as interest of the river and set an example for other agencies in the city to follow.
With warm regards,
manoj misra
