Politicians and VVIP visits to accident and calamity hit areas is becoming a major obstacle in the country. A senior police official said that crucial two hours were lost today in saving life’s and rescue operations at the site of City Lights hotel crash which occyured this morning.
Not only CM even TDP chief, ministers, local MLAs and also Military officials are coming to the site stalling our relief and rescue operations , say the police chief Anurag Sharma who threatened that unless these visits are stopped they would not work . It was so shocking that the TDP chief wanted to give a byte to TV channels right in front of the crashed site , police lamented..
So far 12 persons were killed and another 5 to ten were in serious critical condition at the city hospitals in the early morning crash. Police and Municipality are blaming it on the heavy burden of 10 t 12 Haleem mud and brick ovens built on terrace and in the first floor of the 70 year old building to meet the heavy Ramzan demands. Besides the damage intensfied with gas cylinders explosions.
Municipality has no claim as the building is under Wakf properties and its total built up area is uncontrollable .Till two years it had only one floor, nobody knows when another floor was added on the old building and who permitted the penthouse constructions above it.
