Goel said that first of all, these corrupt officials help unauthorized constructions to be completed by taking bribe and then they make the innocent people cry by demolishing their houses.
Vijay Goel further said that Delhi government, MCD, DDA, Delhi Court should decide that no construction can be demolished until action is taken against the officials responsible for unauthorized constructions.
Goel also appealed to the Lt Governor that on the one hand these unauthorized constructions are being demolished and on the other hand new unauthorized constructions are going on in Delhi with government connivance.
Goel also said that a single window system should also be made, in which the general public would immediately know which construction is illegal and which is legal.
Goel further informed that when the public sees that many unauthorized constructions have taken place and they are not even disturbed, they are encouraged to build their homes in these government land-encroached constructions.
Vijay Goel also said that no one has the right to encroach on government land and that it should be kept in mind by all. However it is necessary for the government to also put up its own boards and boundary walls on its lands/plots.
