building collapse
by Sanjay Hemmady on Jul 18, 2007 10:06 PM  Permalink 

Its sad to watch tv these days. The kind of news given by the channels like ibn 7 etc is frightening and foolish. These channels should inform about the hospitals these patients are being taken to as well as the requirement of blood for the patients. Instead of scaring the people and taking some silly interviews with BMC officials. Secondly find out about the kind of repair work which was going on in the building and who was doing it and in whos premises. Go and interview the contractor who was doing the repair work. Take the detailed drawings of the repair work and consult a civil Engineer whether these repair works were endangering the building. I think this would be proper reporting.

there was some repair work going on which could be the cause of collapse...also every year heavy rains cuase a few buildings to fall ...i think this is the second building to collapse this season..BMC has to be blamed for this ..I am sure the BMC workers would have visited the site many times this month sadly to check if thrs any additional board put up by the shopkeepers ..so that they can hafta vasool from them..and they are short of staff when it comes to inspecting the buildings...I would not be surprised if a BMC worker would have been trapped inside (collecting his final ?Hafta)

This is the quality of construction is going on? Who is responsible for this ? Not definitely the contractor/developer, its the municipal officials, who has to check the construction at the design stage as well as at the site stage.

CURRUPT OFFICIALS!

GOD SAVE INDIA.
