Corrupt Bureaucrats and Careless Courts Allow Illegal Construction in Delhi

Today, hundreds of group housing societies in Delhi are carrying out illegal extended construction [ a.k.a. Floor area ratio (FAR) construction ] which is spreading lethal dust and noise pollution in the entire city.

The illegal construction racket is being run by housing societies, corrupt bureaucrats, and dishonest politicians in connivance with the builders’ mafia. 

Although many residents who oppose FAR construction have been going to the courts to get it stopped, unfortunately the courts are not quite willing to stop this crime and corruption scandal that is causing extreme health hazards among millions of Delhi residents.

On January 28, 2020, I sent a detailed petition to Justice Sharad Arvind Bobde, Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India, with the appeal to save millions of people from the illegal and lethal construction and pollution in Delhi. However, I did not get any response. 

It appears that in the current criminal environment where the administration as well as the judiciary is complicit in the FAR construction crime, it will be extremely difficult or impossible for the residents to get FAR construction stopped in their societies.

You can study the full report and let me know if you can help stop this construction and pollution in Delhi. ~ Rakesh Raman.
