Municipal Corporation Of Delhi — Danger of roof collapse due to illegal construction in progress

Address:

110048

Sir,
Immediate attention is required due to an illegal water tank being constructed on the weak roof above my apartment.
I am the owner of second floor front portion of property no. A-31 kailash colony, new delhi measuring 1000 sq. Yards. This property is residential one and the occupants of the
Rest of the portions of this property obtained stay order and are using it for commercial purposes and it is understood that their cases are pending in the court of tribunal m. C. D. Tis hazari courts. The property is mostly being used by commercial purposes, the ground floor by two restaurants i. E. Front portion by china pearls spinns lounge bar and rear portion by sanjha chulla. Both of them have occupied the common areas of drive way both sides by constructing kitchens and bathrooms and keeping their whole luggage of the restaurants including huge generator in the front open court yard so that nobody can enter the drive way and the left over foods and bones are being given to stray dogs in the evening and at night and in day time the dogs are sleeping in the common area of the building. They are having open kitchens inviting dogs to gather at all times and no one can go to their respective portions on the upper floors since all the times dogs are sleeping in the common area leading to the stairs. People are scared of going to the stairs for going upstairs. They have also occupied the middle common area of the building by putting their huge refrigerators and other goods pertaining to their kitchens.

The said building is an old building of about 50-60 years old and on the terrace front side already there the owner of the plot gave the place to airtel tower and rest of the terrace was being used by the owner of front portion terrace by keeping his small overhead water tanks of plastic made, which have been removed by sanjha chulla people. Yesterday the owner of sanja chulla removed our small water tanks and started erecting huge concrete over head water thank on our roof which is already weak being an old one which can not bear such load of water and huge concrete water tank. Even otherwise sanja chulla is situated in the rear portion of the building on the ground floor who was having their water tanks of plastic made in the rear portion and now they have started making a huge concrete overhead water tank on the portion of the second floor flat of the front portion which will certainly endanger the human life since the roof may collapse at any time if the huge water tank of concrete is allowed to be erected there.

It is, therefore requested that the sanjha chulla owner may be prevented not to construct his huge overhead water tank on the front terrace which is too weak and can not bear the load. There is much space in the rear side where they had their plastic overhead water tanks and now they are going to remove those tanks and are constructing concrete overhead water tank on the roof of front side flat.

Thanking you.

Yours faithfully.
