00:00After the incident that took place in Old Rajan Nagar, the basement, coaching institute and library are all being cut
00:06and now there is a discussion about what is the rule to run a basement in Delhi?
00:11How can the basement be built?
00:14What kind of activities can be done in the basement?
00:17How has it been defined?
00:19To know this, we have with us the former chairman of Nigam Ki Nirmal Samit, Jagdish Mamgai ji
00:25We will know from Jagdish Mamgai ji, how has the basement or coaching institute been defined in the master plan?
00:32How has their working style been defined in it?
00:35See, as far as the basement is concerned, if the basement is in a residential area,
00:41then there is no need for a map or permission for it.
00:45And you can use it as a store, as a godown or as a parking.
00:50As far as the coaching institute is concerned, the master plan for 2021 and the one for 2021-41 has been proposed.
00:58In the master plan for 2021-21, the coaching institute was considered in the residential category.
01:03Now, as it was considered in the residential category, the basement was also added to it according to the residential category.
01:10So, there is no need for a fire NOC or if the building is within 15 metres, then there is no need for any kind of NOCs.
01:19Only if there is a basement in a commercial building or a commercial mall, then all these permissions are granted.
01:28But there is no such provision in the coaching institute or residential accommodation.
01:32So, the basement in Rajnagar has been sealed.
01:38So, it is being told that it has been misused.
01:41So, how is it being told that it has been misused?
01:43And was it allowed more or less?
01:47No, it is correct that it has been misused.
01:50As I said, you can use the basement as a store, as a godown or as a parking.
01:56And if you want to find a space for it, then it can also be said that we are storing the book as well.
02:05Libraries are part of storing a book.
02:07But in this case, they have made the basement very deep.
02:12As far as I have seen, the basement has gone down to double the height.
02:17And the basement is at least 15-20 steps deep.
02:20This means that they have made a two-storey basement inside.
02:26And there they have made the seating arrangement.
02:29There they have made all the arrangements for the children to study.
02:33There was no arrangement for a shower or for water to come out.
02:37Maybe it was not because you cannot do permanent construction in the basement.
02:42That is why they have made a library through PVC sheets or partition.
02:49But they did not do permanent construction.
02:52And there was only one gate for the children.
02:54Another mistake was that they made a biometric system.
02:57What happened by making a biometric system?
03:00When the water entered, the biometric system, which is electrical based, got stuck there.
03:09And the children got scared.
03:11Some children showed courage.
03:13And some children tried to break the glass and made a way for themselves.
03:20But some children got stuck due to suffocation or fear.
03:25And three children died there in an unfortunate way.
03:30As it is being said that there is negligence of the MCD and the police.
03:35There was a complaint against the basement in the MCD.
03:38But no action was taken.
03:39How did all this happen?
03:40Yes, I agree that they modified the basement a little and misused it.
03:50Sometimes it happens that there are so few officials and Delhi is so big.
03:56And there are a lot of illegal constructions and illegal buildings in Delhi.
03:59So, you cannot keep an eye on every house.
04:04But in this case, the MCD will also be blamed.
04:07When the MCD commissioner was told a month ago, around June 26,
04:14there was a complaint that there is an illegal library here and children gather here.
04:20So, even after giving a complaint a month ago,
04:24if they have not taken any action through the MCD
04:28or have not instructed the related officials of the MCD to take action.
04:33We have been raising this issue for the past 30-40 years even before 2000.
04:41The DDA is a white community.
04:44White chairmen come from Karnataka, Chandigarh or any other state.
04:53But the problem is that the situation in Delhi is different.
04:57There are 2000 unauthorized colonies in Delhi.
05:00There is a resettlement colony in Delhi.
05:02There are a lot of illegal constructions in rural areas.
05:05And the situation in Delhi, as I was the chairman,
05:09when I saw that there are 55 lakh growing units,
05:12I came to know that more than 50,000 are legal.
05:14The rest are all illegal.
05:16There are anomalies in each one.
05:17So, Delhi is completely unauthorized in a way.
05:22In such areas, if you make a master plan from a bureaucratic point of view or a bureaucratic DDA
05:28and the central government notifies,
05:30but the ground reality is that the MCD has to take it down.
05:34And you have not given the MCD any rights.
05:36So, what happens with that is that the on-paper building by-laws that have been made,
05:41they sometimes come to the ground and destroy it.
05:44Because they don't care about it.
05:46And then people don't get their maps passed on the basis of it.
05:50And the situation is that more than 95% of the illegal constructions are not mapped.
05:57Because the rules are made in such a way that things do not get mapped in this way.
06:02It also depends on the fact that the whole building's foundation is connected to the basement.
06:07So, obviously, any sensible person will not make the basement so big
06:11that the floors above will be damaged.
06:14If the foundation is weak, then you have dug everything in the basement.
06:18And the foundation on the side has become light and weak.
06:21Delhi Cessna comes in four.
06:23If there is any earthquake tomorrow, then the whole building will be destroyed.
06:27So, that's why the basement is made small, according to the need.
06:32And if there is a problem with storage capacity or parking in Delhi,
06:36then many people do it for parking.
06:38The benefit of that is that they do not count the basement in FAR.
06:42If you use it for parking or you do not construct in it,
06:46then you can make a building of 15 meters apart from the basement.
06:52And the basement is considered to be clean.
06:54So, people get that benefit.
06:55The benefit was given to people because there is no parking or anything on the road.
07:00But why would it be needed?
07:02So, this is the remaining point.
07:04As you said that in the master plan of 2021, they were placed in the residential category,
07:09in the coaching center.
07:10But now it is a very big business, there is complete commercialization.
07:13So, should it be brought in the commercial category in the master plan of 2021?
07:16Can it be improved?
07:18Can the basement be used?
07:20No.
07:21The question is that the coaching institute should be seen from the point of view that it is a very big business.
07:27You get a lot of money in it.
07:31And a lot of people are involved in it.
07:34From the point of view of those who are earning money,
07:36and the children who are giving money, they are also involved.
07:40So, the master plan of 2021 has been approved by the DDA and also by the LG.
07:49But now the central government has placed GOM on it.
07:52We have also written a letter to GOM.
07:55The three ministers, the Home Minister, the Urban Minister and the Finance Minister,
08:00all three are its members.
08:01When the GTV incident happened last time,
08:05I had also written that the coaching institute should be supported by commercialization.
08:10Commercialization should be considered number one.
08:12Number two, there should not be 100% ground coverage.
08:15The premises should be open all around.
08:20It should be open all around so that the safety of the children should be ensured.
08:24CCTV, Fire NoC, Police NoC, all kinds should be there.
08:29More than 10-12 children should not be allowed inside.
08:34CCTV cameras should be installed in all rooms.
08:37There should be air ventilation.
08:39The building should not be allowed for coaching.
08:45So, this was Mr. Jagdish Monga who said that the coaching center should be brought under commercialization,
08:51which is still being run in the residency category.
08:54Because of this, it is being misused.
