The pathetic condition of Delhi Govt Yesterday, there was a massive fire at our building Brahmaputra. This is the official residence for Rajya Sabha MPs located just 100 meters from Parliament. We saw first-hand the dismal state of affairs in Delhi under the BJP Govt: There are 3 fire stations within a 5 min distance. NONE of them responded when the staff in the building called I then personally called the Fire Dept at 1:22pm. And the first fire engine showed up TWENTY FIVE MINUTES later The fire system of the building had NO WATER. The fire alarm is DEAD. Eventually, people evacuated amidst a blazing inferno Ambulances showed up AN HOUR LATER. And not a single ambulance had even a first-aid kit Along with MPs, the building also has accommodation for staff. About 8 staff houses are completely gutted. Staff members living in them lost EVERYTHING The building is administered by the CPWD which comes under the union Govt. For months, there was a pile of discarded wood & rubber lying around. Even after complaints by MPs, it was never cleared. Yesterday that pile caught fire & the flames reached up to the 7th floor. If this is the condition of official residences of MPs, imagine what must be the general state of emergency services in Delhi. If it takes 25 mins for the fire brigade to respond to a fire near Parliament, imagine what would be the state in other parts of Delhi? Under the Modi Govt, officials of CPWD have turned it into a corruption factory. The dept solely exists to make money & commission for bureaucrats through “tenders”. The local BJP MLA & Minister was busy elsewhere. He was heavily active distributing money during elections. And now, he’s disappeared. There’s no Diwali this year. The building has been evacuated & sealed. And poor staff members have lost everything. Delhi CM needs to answer for the abysmal state of her govt.
