The Ministry of Environment & Forests has issued orders for demolition of this illegal structure within 3 months.The usual tactics by vested interests in government are, to issue illegal permissions, and if that is challenged/does not work, regularise the fait accompli. Or use the excuse of costs,utility,job creation potential, innocent victims etc to fine the culprits and make more money in the bargain.No one is sent to jail or feels the pinch and they power on, bulldozing every impediment (including Laws & Rules) in the path with absolute impunity! Whats more a precedent is set. The Congress is already on the back foot dealing with massive corruption as scam after scam surfaces.This will be a test case with the world watching since it clearly involves high level Defence Officers,politicians,bureaucrats, legal procedures and multiple agencies. Every argument/ploy will be used since it is also a very high rise building, high costs, environmentally sensitive area with security concerns and is a building fait accompli. Will shielding/protecting the Chief Ministers and high officials from the ruling party by delaying demolition, changing laws etc which has become the norm, be resorted to? After all in Goa,the Supreme Court demolition order could be thwarted by ordinance in the Cidade de Goa case! The Adarsh scam could be Turning Point in our fight against rampant corruption that is corroding the nation's soul if complete demolition is accomplished ( Experts have precisely demolished bigger buildings )and all those responsible feel the heat! Big order for a large change in India's aam admi's fight against this virulent cancer.
