My letter to Editor The Hitavada.
NMC and the demolition drives.
Once in a while when the authorities wake up from there slumber demolition of one odd unauthorised structure , out of existing thousands, is undertaken.
There has been spurt in demolition drive in recent past. This, thanks to Honourable High Court repeatedly giving stern warnings to authorities to demolish unauthorised places of worship . Not only because they are / were unauthorised but such structure encroached on public land. Quite often they intruded on the footpath / road and generally obstructed smooth flow of traffic and nuisance to public.
In all demolitions modus operandiis is same.
Authorities approach the structure with powerful machines and bulldozerss. Using brute force the bulldozers bulldoze their way in the structure. Without any apparent system bring down and reduce the structure to a terribly shoddy mess and heaps of rubble. The resulting mess of this rubble spill over dimensions of the the original structure itself and become even bigger obstacle then earlier structure. See attached photos.
A little application of mind would dictate that after the structure is demolished , The eye sore and rubble left after demolition is removed, Site is restored to its original neat and tidy state. Apparently the authorities either do not have mind or if they have, they do not apply it to their jobs.
I would very sincerely and humbly request the Honourable Courts that the order for demolition also to include a codicil
" After the demolition authorities WILL REMOVE all the rubble and RESTORE the site to a NEAT & TIDy state"
