Apropos the article captioned “A Tale of unauthorized occupancy – Mumbai” by Vivekanand Gupta, I feel the horrendous picture of rampant unauthorized occupancy, be it in slums or be it in multi-storeyed buildings / towers, it only demonstrates the unholy alliance between the selfish politicians, smart bureaucrats & unscrupulous builders.

In this dirty game the slum-dwellers or the homebuyers are often held as helpless hostages and then after some time the some reliefs are announced to protect these slum-dwellers or homebuyers. However, in the bargain the guilty builders, smart & corrupt bureaucrats and shameless politicians who mint money by providing political asylum to this fraud builders go totally scot-free.

In fact, the politicians in power win laurels........
