Will Open our Gates for Officials
Will Open our Gates for Officials to Execute their Duties: Mumbai's Campa Cola Residents
 INDIA , 22-June-2014  12:7:8 PM
Bringing an end to a three day stand-off, the residents of Campa Cola housing society today finally gave in to Supreme Court's orders and allowed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials to enter the premises tomorrow and disconnect electricity, water and gas pipeline connections.

"We apologize to the BMC for the inconvenience caused. They were only following orders. Our excuse was that we were trying to save our homes. We thank them for giving us these two days and being compassionate and supportive," said Ashish Jalan, a resident.

The breakthrough came after an hour-long meeting with Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan. The residents claim that Mr Chavan has assured them that their interests would be protected within the framework of the law. They were also given the assurance that there would be no demolition during the monsoon season.

"In this 18 month struggle we have realized that if we keep fighting, we are going to get nowhere. We are tired. The reason why we have made this decision is that we can no longer watch our fellow members of the society suffer. In the past five months, we have lost four members and two fainted in front of you today. Children are going hysterical, people are crying, hiding from the cameras. We can no longer see these tears," said Mr Jalan

"We are aiming at getting the permissible amount of the FSI which is 67,000 sq. ft. out of the 90,000 sq. ft. Whatever the legal possibilities are, whether it is the BMC, CM's office, Urban ministry, legal dept. off India, we will explore all the possibilities", added Mr Jalan.

Over the last three days, drama has ensued with residents forming a human barricade to stop officials from entering and making the officials wait outside the gates. On Saturday, BMC officials issued a stern warning to allow them to do their job or face legal action.
