Attitude of violating norms about environment by builders

Now days rising attitude of violating all norms about environment and exceeding the permissions granted by civic bodies is becoming a common phenomenon.
ONE OF THE LEADING Marathi news channel opened up the issue about Midory Towers at Pimple Nilakh` created a storm. Now PCMC will penalize the builder and once again everything will be all set to violate norm at some other place. I am in full agreement with the statement that a builder just cannot follow all rules set by civic bodies sometimes even the directives and or judgments issued by court of law. Mangier times this is ignored by buyer; just with a consideration that profit making is the basic motive of any business house.
For example charged parking, MSEB Charges, selling on the basis of saleable area instead of carpet area etc. I understand these kinds of issues are related to pocket of the buyer. But I strongly condemn issues of violating environmental issues because these types of issues are related to lives of people. Compensating somebody after his death is not going to set equilibrium to the situation.
The more disturbing aspect of it is the owners of the company are family members of former state irrigation secretary of Maharashtra. Apart from dumping construction debris n the riverbed developer has also blocked the natural nala passing through the plot. This could lead to flooding in and around areas.
According to DNA the beautiful answer given by by city engineer –“The project is in flood line area but while the project was sanctioned by PCMC in March 2007,maps demarcating The Mula river floodline were received by civic body only in last year. “According to existing norms, PCMC willpenalise the builder for violating the building permission terms”.The unauthorized construction would be regularized according to PCMC rules.”According to state Govt. Law,unauthorized construction can be regularized by builders by paying prmium charges. Says the City Engineer.
The statement by city engineer is shocking.
The other or the true meaning of the statement is , builder can violate any rule and get it regularized by paying fines. I strongly object this kind of attitude.
My dear friends we have already destucted many things but changing directions of river is going to cause deaths ,tremendous loss to environment, immense inconvenience to other citizens.
Cutting down the trees is also common behavior pattern. In fact one should be sentenced to the same treatment which is defined for murder, by court of law.
My dear friends we need to initiate some kind of action on this. Senior members ,pl guide on this issue.
According to news paper sources it is learnt that more than 200 construction projects have been granted permission by PCMC in contravention of guidelines regarding the flood lines of rivers. This means that many more such projects would have been constructed in a manner that it would hamper the flow of Mula, Pavana and Indrayani.
And just by paying fines things may get regularized.
This is something very serious. We all should come across the table to initiate some sort of action.
