This refers to the editorial, “Symbol of greed, graft” (May 2). In fact, even global powers will be flabbergasted to hear the high-decibel noise of corruption exposed in Mumbai's Adarsh Cooperative Housing Society, more so because this 31-storeyed edifice, was meant for war heroes and war widows and families of those who laid down their lives to protect the nation and their fellow countrymen.
Even worse, names of several former Chief Ministers and a dozen bureaucrats emerged in a probe commission report into the matter. Even after the Bombay High Court's order to raze this high-rise to the ground, the ball may now be pushed into the apex court, where fresh hearings and arguments for and against the demolition of the building are expected. However, the common man and justice-seekers are hopeful that the corrupt will be punished, even if the issue involves the country's most powerful people in the Adarsh case.
