Tragedy at Carlton Towers

Carlton Towers disaster was avoidable.

Loss due to human negligence is not OK. It is the government approved the building plan and was okay with violations. Lack of infrastructure - roads, parking, water, electricity, fire engines and water in fire engines - the list of ridiculous excuses simply is astounding.

Giving INR 50000 - INR 200000 is not the solution.

1. The government or civic official who has issued "everything is ok" certificate must be culpable of homicide and involuntary manslaughter.

2. Section 144 must be clamped at the site of disaster / accident. Citizens of Bangalore crowding around Carlton caused immense damage and loss of lives.

Now, the post-mortem of the accident will be performed and an odd newspaper will choose to publish the reports. But public memory is short. And this tragedy will fade away from our memory and thought.

We must not allow this to happen. We must sacrifice the 'adjust-maadi' mentality.
