Lots of fires in highrises in GK-1
GK-1 was a jungle during early sixties and is now enjoying status of a posh colony
Initially it was created for American soldiers in B block mansions, just after facing defeat in war with China 🇨🇳
American soldiers were supposed to train our soldiers in fighting with the enemy 😔 😤
Nearby areas has small plots measuring 200 meters to 300 ,only compared with mansions made in other blocks on 1000
Small plots used to have modest homes till about 30 years ago when builders took over from the gen next of inheritors, giving them hopes to get rich quick
Now these small plots have 4 storeys of designer flats and each flat has a 5 AC, booster pumps of 1000W to pump water for each flat on reservoirs kept on 5th floor, the roof of building made on a plot of 200 meters only
How can basic electrical engineering done 6 decades ago take up heavy electrical load of this extent?
Does any rich inheritor or any nauveo rich person capable of buying a designer flat, care about lives of fire men and police personnel?
Top floor and loads of illegal constructions used to be a norm till about 40 years ago
Pictures shown here are just an example of illegal constructions, common areas occupied and illegal constructions extending to the corporation road,besides having all escape routes blocked 🚫
And now, sparks due to old electrical work done in good faith in narrow lanes, 6 decades ago and now having lots of SUV parked in erratic manner, making it waiting for a calamity of extent seen in illegal guest house and other commercial vertical homes in other parts of Delhi more
GK 2, colony is more recent
Most of the constructions are 3 to 4 decades old and they have 1st generations of inhabitants
Unlike GK-1 that was created 6 decades ago and now having lots of inheritors who are least bothered about basics like wastage of water 💧 etc..
GK 2 homes were being constructed when I bought a modest flat in GK-1, near place of my work
I was offered bigger flats in GK 2 for the same price paid for GK-1 flat, because during early eighties, prices were fairly reasonable for both GK-1 and GK 2
