BMC Notice for structural audit for Tholiya Bhavan as per legal requirement



I welcome this act which asks for compulsory structural audit of buildings older then 30 years. However same law does not bind local politicians and BMC officials in any way to act in particular time frame after having received the report. For my other building while I gave the report in time and report says building is very old and dilapidated but BMC has it seems just filed the report. I have sent copy to local police, local corporator too but response and advise from them is still awaited. All laws which bind citizens must also bind govt officials too to act in particular time frame or the same punishment as envisaged under law against citizens should also be applicable to officials and area elected representatives.
