New Delhi: Union minister and former Delhi BJP chief Vijay Goel has written to lieutenant-governor Anil Baijal asking him to check if the sealing drive in capital can be stopped for the time being. Mr Goel has urged lieutenant-governor Baijal to hold a meeting with Delhi CM and all the commissioners of municipal bodies in this regard and take necessary steps.
“It is sad that one hand we are witnessing the sealing drive as per the Supreme Court’s monitoring committee decision, but on the other hand there is rampant illegal construction across Delhi, especially in Old Delhi’s Chandni Chowk,” he said.
The Union minister said that it was necessary that those responsible for allowing illegal use of space were equally held responsible and strict action taken against them, be it officials or engineers.
