The facade will reoccupy its green glaze. The craters of scrapped illegal structures will fade with the monsoons arriving. But the question remains that will it sponge the smut that has debased the working of the administration? This has reached the magnitude comparable to cancer. Let us peer into the entire development of the grounding of the illegal commercial structures. This has started in Kasauli and supposedly will reach Dharamshala- Maclodganj and Shimla of Himachal Pradesh. The Supreme court had to intervene to save the choking and overloaded hills. This has doubtlessly restored our faith in the highest judicial system of our country. This is like the cardinal chemotherapy which can save the dying hills stations. The grounding of the illegal structures is that laser treatment which will benefit the effected area with immediate effect. Though the cancer-causing cells still remain restful and unruffled.
While we are concentrating on the unnatural outer growth and trying to lynch it off.We have payed no attention to the cancer causing concoct.It is the state administration and the politicians who played the hand in glove in the entire deal.They have emerged as the blue eyed children of fate.With no attention coming there way, they have made their money and are now taking their forty winks.
Therefore, the cleaning needs to go deep. The disinfectant needs to kill every bacteria causing this cancerous growth. This is the right time to get the hands dirty and clean the soul of the system.Let it be the Swachhta abhiyan of the system.
Now as it is clear that no matter how grand the structures are and no matter how well connected their owners are, the hills will be de cluttered again. This is the time to turn the tables. Come ahead and make the negative situation positive. Join hands and take out the list of names who helped in snatching the permission for the cancer-causing concoct.
Here, I would like to specify that I am not backing the hoteliers who have taken advantage of their well-placed links and build the towers for self-destruction. I have spoken with many casualties of the political backed administrative construction mafia in Maclodganj of Dharamshala Himachal Pradesh and Kasauli . Someone compared themselves with the farmers, saying,”Tell us why should we not commit suicide?We are equally vulnerable.We are under loans from banks and the income has stopped”.There were rumors making rounds about the amount of money that will be needed to bribe the system once again to settle it down.The pain in their voice can be felt as this time the bribe they wish to offer has no direction.The solution though imperial but has been hit hard by the court.
It is fascinating that though the administration is heated up to ground the illegal mushrooming of superstructures after the orders from the Supreme Court but the fact is that it was its own officers and the state politicians who had allowed these structures to spring up.
Whence, an unsparing action should be taken against the officers and politicians who are knee deep in it.Only then an intense message will pass nipping the cancer forever in its bud. Therefore , I appeal that the hoteliers who have understood the course of law that might take time but will come in the direction of crime. Please stand together and do not let anyone go unattended.
