Demolition drives

Kashmir Times. Dated: 10/17/2017 5:04:26 PM

Dear Editor,
The demolition drives, undertaken by the concerned government agencies in different parts of the state, are rightly viewed with skepticism as they are executed on a selective basis.
While big fish, the mighty offenders enjoying proximity to the corridors of power are spared, the small fries are selectively targeted. Such a selective approach genuinely creates suspicion about the sincerity of those at the helm of affairs.
It is not surprising that the properties are not disclosed by the bureaucrats despite repeated reminders by the GAD. One wonders why the big and mighty are always treated differently. If the rules are applicable to all government servants, why the higher bureaucracy should be given any immunity?
Similarly, questions arise about the immunity given to political class to violate all laws.
Udita Khajuria,
