Scam, scam, scam!! Havala scam, telecom scam, Telgi scam. We hear of so many scams. But why doesn’t anyone talk about the biggest of them all – the Mumbai FSI scam? By indiscriminately altering the Development Control Rules (DCR) every now and then, the govt. keeps allowing builders to build more and more without regard to the infrastructure constraints. So you have extra FSI for redevelopment of slums, for providing parking to BMC, for redeveloping old buildings, etc, etc. Then there is clandestine dereservation of plots meant for public amenities & allotment of prime plots at throwaway prices in the guise of recreational facilities (whose land use later gets converted). Every now and then they come up with more excuses to grant land to the builders. But no watchdog/NGO seems to have noticed all this!!!!!
