Blame for Mantralaya fire cannot be fixed on PWD alone, says Chhagan Bhujbal
Even as audits and inquiries continued in full swing on the third day after a raging fire damaged Mantralaya, State Public Works Department said it couldn’t be put in the dock for the unfortunate incident. “Aspersions are being cast on us, as it is assumed that the maintenance of the building is in the hands of the PWD,” State Minister for Public Works & Special Assistance Department, Chhagan Bhujbal, said. Speaking to reporters before leaving for a survey of the charred building, Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan said all files belonging to the Urban Development department would be reconstructed in a month. However, data retrieval from the damaged machines would be a task easier said than done, something Mr. Chavan acknowledged, as most of the hard disks have been completely destroyed in the fire.
