The Sunday Glitch...

This morning there was another feud between the ‘acting builder’ - [he is referred as an ‘acting builder’ because he is not going to build anything there, his business deal is to vacate the land and sell it to another builder] and the members of Kamaraj Nagar. On this fine Sunday morning the 'acting builder' started digging in Kamaraj Nagar’s playground area, probably without any appropriate permission. To hide this they had kept the main doors closed and locked. When a member came from his Sunday mass he kept knocking at the front gate. He noticed there is no watchman at the main gate and the doors were locked. When he inquired in the ‘acting builders’ office. He got this reply ‘we won’t open main gates for 2 wheeler's, the main gate is for four wheeler's only’.

Following this incident few of the members went to the police station to launch complaint against such hindrances the ‘acting builder’ is posing for the people. The police provided a very convenient reply, ‘Look at Campa Cola case, take stay order like them, why are you bothering us? We cannot do anything in this’. In the meanwhile the ‘acting builder’ had planned to remove the member’s vehicles by towing them out of his way without informing the members.

When the members returned to the nagar they saw the towing truck put up in place to remove the vehicles. But the vehicles had not been moved yet. The ‘acting builder’ filed a complaint saying that the members are causing hindrance and not allowing him to dig. When the police and the members spoke about the issue one member drew attention to a fact which drew my attention. The fact is that all the so called building related activity the builder tries to do is always done on Sundays. The SRA and the BMC won’t be working on a Sunday and the members can’t reach to the authorities and get orders to stop the activities the ‘acting builder’ is carrying on.

This Sunday the digging is going on in the playground.
