To demolish the unauthorised construction, in principle is correct. But this is no solution to the endemic problem of this proportion. Those who are in need of the accomodation will continue to do so in future also. MCD which is responsible to let it not happen connives and oversees such unauthorised construction of hefty payments. In this way at least 10% of regular colonies have unauthorised constructions. And 50% of all delhi land is under encroachment by way of JJ clusters or by land mafia is with the active and willing co-operation of MCD,DDA & Delhi Police. All these three have theblessings of the politicians of all parties whosoever is in power. The illegal gratification is collected by these agencies and passed on to the superiors and politicians in power. On the way up the money also percolates in a good measures to the collectors themselves. It is a huge racket running into hundreds of crores every year in Delhi alone. Only time will tell if the judgment of the Hight Court will stem the rot. God save the common man
