Goa bldg collapse: AAP alleges builder-neta nexus, seeks audit of upcoming projects

January 09, 2014 12:08

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged that "criminal" collusion between politicians, bureaucrats and builders was one of the major causes behind the collapse last week of the under-construction building in Canacona, which claimed 24 lives.

Demanding an audit by state government of ongoing projects along with the setting up of a judicial commission to hold a probe into the mishap, AAP said that, "The criminal politician -builder-bureaucrat nexus, cutting across party lines, permits structures to come up in flagrant violation of environmental norms and building regulations."
