PIL in SC seeks stringent action against builders for violating rules
New Delhi: A public interest writ petition has been filed for a direction to the Centre and Tamil nadu government to take stringent action against the builders who violated the laws and rules in constructing multi-storeyed buildings. They said “State Government Officials like revenue, C.M.D.A, DTP, fire and rescue services, Hydrologist Constituted under the Central Wetlands Regulatory Authority have measurably failed to uphold the fundamental right guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution. There are so many buildings under construction on wetland like water bodies especially near in Chennai in Tamil Nadu.” They said under the Wetlands Rules, 2010, the State Government should identify and classify the wetlands within their respective territories in accordance with the criteria specified under Rule 3 and submit the same to the authority. They contended that most of the buildings in the country particularly in the Chennai had been constructed by the builders by throwing to winds all the norms and regulations of the CMDA & DTP Rules and other regulations endangering the safety of the people in connivance with State government officials.
