Kejriwal urges all stakeholders to implement SC order and work for development of Delhi

Arvind Kejriwal

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday requested all stakeholders to implement the Supreme Court order on the distribution of powers between the Delhi government and the Lieutenant Governor and to get down to work for the development of the city.

Welcoming the apex court order that held the L-G was bound by the aid and advice of the council of ministers, Kejriwal said the verdict had clearly demarcated power sharing among the stakeholders.

The Supreme Court has in “clear terms” stated the powers of the Delhi government, the central government and the LG. Police, public and land are under control of the LG, and the Delhi government has executive powers on other subjects, the chief minister said.

“I want to appeal to all the stakeholders to implement the order and work together for the development of Delhi,” he said.

“Sought time to meet Hon’ble LG today to seek his support and cooperation in the implementation of the order of Hon’ble SC and in the development of Delhi,” he wrote on Twitter.

Kejriwal’s appeal came amid refusal of officers to comply with the Delhi government’s directive on new transfers and posting powers being given to the chief minister, deputy CM and ministers of the government. Earlier the power was exercised by the Lt Governor.

The government was seeking legal opinion on the matter, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said earlier in the day.

The government was likely to move a “contempt petition” before the Supreme Court in this regard, said a government spokesperson.

The accident occurred at midnight on Monday, leaving more than 10 injured

Mumbai: A four-story building fell late on Monday night at Naik Nagar in Kurla East, Mumbai, leaving at least three dead and ten more injured.

According to police, those who sustained injuries were taken immediately to the government-run Rajawadi and Sion hospitals. At Rajawadi Hospital, two men were pronounced dead, and the third man died from his wounds at Sion Hospital.

Local councilwoman Pravina Morajkar voiced alarm that there may be more people trapped under the rubble. Rescue and relief operations are underway.

At 11.50 p.m., the incident occurred, after Mumbai’s first substantial rainfall of the year.

For rescue operations, the fire service sent out seven vehicles, two rescue vans, and ambulances.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had been urged by the officials to send haulers and excavators for assistance in the rescue operation.

“This is a colony of four dilapidated buildings and they were given notices to vacate five to six years ago. Yet, the residents continued to stay,” said legislator Pravina Morajkar.

The collapsed building has been identified as the collector’s property; a ground-plus-three-floor building in Naik Nagar Society on Shivshruti Road, behind the ST depot.

According to reports, the structures next to the fallen building are likewise in a poor state and might collapse at any moment.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had been requested by the fire department to send dumpers and excavators to assist with the rescue operation.

On Tuesday morning, Morajkar commented that the tenants in the nearby buildings will soon be moved out to a safer structure by the BMC. She added that BMC had warned the tenants previously to move out.
