  There are 7 reasons for which I consider the Tower-wise construction adopted by La Residentia Developers , as illegal It violates the original agreement's payment  condition which specifies how much money is to be paid at what stage of construction. The buyer under this new arrangement is paying advance instalment of Rs. 2 lakh approx which the builder should treat as a loan and pay interest thereupon.Also bankers who are releasing loan instalment should acknowledge that there cannot be two agreements between the same builder-buyer for the same flat.Those who want a new agreement have to cancel the old one. Bankers have followed original agreements and demand letters as per progress of work as basis for payment. Now , suddenly they are disbursing loan without any work being done. It also makes them unsafe. But the bankers are under influence of builder's money and completely ignoring this basis requirement of security for loan.This violation of agreement should be taken cogn...

यह संदेश उन लोगों को सावधान करने की लिए  है जो बिना स्ट्रक्चरल स्टबिलिटी टेस्टिंग कराए ही किसी ऐसे अधूरे टावर  मे दुबारा काम शुरू करने जा रहे हैं जिसका काम पिछले   3-4 सालों    या  उससे अधिक समय से रुका पड़ा है । मैं “ सावधान”   शब्द का प्रयोग  कर रहा हूं क्योंकि मैंने कोलकाता में विवेकानंद फ्लाईओवर का मामला देखा है, जिसमें निर्माणाधीन फ्लाईओवर अचानक नीचे गिर जाता है और गिरते हुए भारी भरकम ढांचे के भार और आघात से नीचे सड़क पर चल रहे कई लोग दबकर,कुचल कर मर  जाते है . यह भयावह हादसा 31-3-2016 को सुबह 10 बजे हुआ जब मैं कोलकाता मे ही रहा करता था । खबर फैली कि  जहां पर ढांचा गिरा है वहाँ कुछ दिन पहले ही सिमेन्ट कंक्रीट की कास्टिंग हुई थी। सभी यही मान  रहे थे की ठेकेदार ने सीमेंट कम डाला होगा और ढलाई , फार्मवर्क हटाते ही गिर गई होगी ।  उत्सुकतावश जब मैं घटनास्थल पर गया तो दुर्घटना का एक अजीब कारण दिखा । दुर्घटना का कारण चल रहे काम मे कम सिमेन्ट डाला जाना नहीं था ।      लगभग 7 साल पहले शुरू किया गया काम कुछ विवादों...

  This is an alert for those who want to resume construction work in a project where work remained stopped for 3-4 or more years. I am using the word ALERT because I have seen the case of Vivekanand flyover in Kolkata in which the under- construction flyover suddenly fell down and all traffic plying under it got crushed under impact of massive load. It happened at 10 AM on 31-3-2016 when the road was full with traffic.The reason was simple   The work started about 7 years back came to halt due to some dispute . The iron structure which was to support the road slab was ready.The work of slab started after a gap of  5 years.During this period ,the underlying iron structure ,had got its nuts -bolts, rusted. When new concrete slab was cast after 5 years, the rusted nut-bolts failed and the iron structure tilted under heavy slab load.  While this incident was already doing rounds in my mind, I recently happened to attend a training course on structural stability of ...
