people learn the hard way....they never thought about the possibility of such a disaster when working in such a conjested market. the businessmen there surely had lot of money to improve the condition. but they never did anything rather than increasing their profit margin. they also constructed illegally such high floors (why should only govt. demoslish it) why cant people have a sense of their own. we only blame the govt for everything (easy way) but people themselves are also responsible to a great extent. Well they were operating illegally and not caring enough about safety and have now learnt a lesson.....human always learn the hard way! i hope in future such things are avoided. may god give strength to the families who have lost their livelihood.

Marwaris are the parasites of Kolkata - and they are the ones fully responsible for this disaster in Kolkata - nobody should show sympathy on these dirty creatures!

Dear Birju,
Just as the US Health department depends on the Indian Doctors working in US, Kolkata, or rather WB economy depends on the Marwari Community. If ever there is any semblance of economy in Kolkata, it is thanks to them. Hence, kindly stop accusing them. BTW, I am NOT a Marwari but have lived in Kolkata long enough to understand the local economy.
