MUMBAI: When on one hand the rich people get absolved of the crime that they commit everyday, the poor next door suffer in the absence of powers to twist the law and bend the administrators.
The glaring example: the collector land leased out to kora kendra in Borivali west where the exhibitions and functions continue in one of the portions despite being not allowed as per the lease, the 25-years old chawl on another piece of the same land was evicted within a few hours despite the court's stay, leaving over 25-30 families homeless. Interestingly, certain parts of the land also have illegally built commercial shops, rooms and hotels which stand untouched by the authorities.
