While all the authorities are debating the fate of Adarsh building, here is my opinion on what can be done to this building - demolish it and use the debris to create an island in the sea, next to the Naval Golf Course land. On that a monument could be constructed to remind all of the shame of the people who tried to benefit from the Kargil war widows plight.
The land where the current building stands is currently claimed by various people to belong to the Defence, Maharashtra State, etc - instead of disputing, a park should be developed on this land that could be used by all people - Defence as well as Mumbaites.
This will solve the problem of benami holders of the flats and those who have tried to gain illegal possession of these flats and be a warning to future offenders that crime does not pay!
OK. Good suggestions. But there are a few innocent people who acquired flats from the 40% portion admissible for civilians. The change of 40% was not due to their fault. Will they get their investment back?
ReplyDeleteOff topic: Can you read Malayalam in your system?
Dear അങ്കിള്,
ReplyDeleteI agree that there may be few innocent people (civilians as well as defence); who have unfortunately got entangled in this mess. They should join forces and sue the builders to recover their money, with appropriate interest.
Of course, knowing the speed of our court system, it may be many years before they recover anything.
Yes, I can read malayalam on my system.
