The demolition of 'Adarsh'...

Its a very recent news that court proceeding for the Adarsh building will be held on 27th April. Mumbai High Court will listen to all the testimonies, views from the the Adarsh building committee and also from the environmentalists. Its a simple phenomenon that even if you demolish Adarsh society then also there can be no revival of the enviornment.

There is no doubt that it was one of the hottest issues in the winter session of Maharashtra legislature. Adarsh issue together with Lavasa city issue. The building may be demolished and there will be certain other losses now such as-

i) Cost of the construction.

ii) Building material which cannot be used again.

iii)Cost of architecture, maps and blueprint.

iv)Loss of time used in legislature because even a session of legislature requires money.

These are just few losses which I have stated here. There might be many more losses which may not have not come in light. All this is because of politics. If the Adarsh is the result of the ruling party then the opposition desperately wants it to be demolished.

It's a simple principle that if any project is started by the ruling party which requires some tenure of 8 years (for example) and if the opposition party comes to power and they have negative image of politics then they will surely try to stop the project and finally when it will come to the light of the people and other committees then the ruling party will blame to the x-ruling government.

The committee will declare some time to submit the report. Before the committee is formed there is politics in the legislature followed by the ratification process. Its a hard core process.

Finally, the loss is incurred by the government in the financial terms and partly the time for development is lost. If the government suffers the financial loss then who indirectly suffers. It is suffered by the people who pay tax.

Loss of people, is the loss of the democracy. Loss of democracy= result of negative politics (Demolition of 'adarsh')

Demolition of Adarsh in two means (one is Adarsh society and other one is inner virtues).

Thanks.

Let the spirit of democracy be in positive means.

  1. i m not well aware of the issue. but there r 2 things in this case, one is arbitary flat allotment in the Adarsh Building and the other being violation of the CRZ regulations during the construction of the Adarsh. Demolition should not take place actually but the allotments should be nullified and defence personnel should get their due..
