  • Such news items appear every now and then and one feels fed up by reading them. I fail to understand as to why the higher authorities do not act when these societies initially place their ads in the media. It seems it is deliberate on the government’s part to squeeze whatever it can out of the common man. The CDA, RDA and perhaps their counterparts in other cities in the country are following the similar policies. The policy is: Let the illegal society come up. Now loot the society as well as the plot owners with both hands.
