Let us be practical. Twenty years ago was a period of shortages in every thing. So corruption of every body involved in every aspect was expected. Having said that thousands of building were constructed which are standing? The culprits are the occupants who make incescriminate modifications and expansions in all the floors. I am sure higher floors owners must have added a few sqare feet in every apartment with or without BMC man's connivance. My question is how did the housing society keep quiet? Were they too bought? Then the apartment owners have to blame themselves for the disaster.God helps those who helpthemselves- the coverse also is true. Even gods will deny help if we dont help ourselves. Thirumal Bhat
