kora bungalow

Many greedy landlords and builders in bangalore dont care about approval for buildings. Earlier I was looking to buy a flat in bangalore. But I find that many get approval for some plan and construct a totally different building. What really pisses me off is the their justification.
"You cannot buy a house with everything in order as per plan".
"Everybody does that".
"Nobody will buy if I construct as per actual plan".
"They will not approve the plan if I send the actual plan, thats why we get approval for different plan".

I sincerely wished that every of those building should be penalised. I am really happy to see that some buildings in koramangala are being demolished for violations and more to come. I really dont feel pity for those who cry. Surprisingly one of the building destroyed belongs to one of the petitioners! Even now many such people dont accept their mistakes and instead get angry at the petitioners, court and authorities. Those are the people who need to be eliminated. I wish that this sends some signal to the future builders to follow the procedures.

Illegalities is in each and every part of constructing a building. They also receive part of money as cash and register the building for a lesser value. Things dont just stop there. There are many incidents where people with politicial powers, threaten the lives of the family of poor farmers/landlords and forcefully 'buy' their land. The government should enforce very strict rules in land related transactions and finance ministry should concentrate more in enforcing legality in transactions.

To me the petitioners building getting destroyed seems to be fishy. The petitioner might have been a genuine person, but the authorities wanted to punish him for taking steps in the (wrong)direction. Lookin at the news site, it looks to me this way than the other.. remember the "oru naal mudhalvan.." story where the heroes house getting punished after being the CM for a day.

This is more of a movie stunt that the authorities have played.. I suspect a false play on this and feel that we should not get misled by the mass and medias' false propgandas.

By agreement, usually the builders agree to restructure the building 'at your expense' to meet any of your (legal) needs within one year of the completion of building. Only after one or two years, our govt authorities wake up and send a notice that the building is not as per rules. By that time the builder is out of the contract term and you are on your own. In some instances where the authorities wake up a bit early, the builders help the owner in sorting out the problem 'using their (political) power' and by means of bribe. At that time, the owner also happily bribes to come out of the problem.
