Let the millions of  blows every minute of the demolishing machine of 2000W per hammer drill be replaced by the silent jhade laava khub khub so the Hoolock Gibbons enjoy their territories to the full!

Ongoing demolition without prior consultation with the affected surrounding buildings is going on adjacent to our society premises. This demolition is on 30 year old buildings whose normal life is 100 years whether near the sea or elsewhere. Our societies in the neighbourhood are also some 35 years old and have and extra 65 years to go. This demolition in the midst of settled communities is forcing us to become contaminated with heavy loud vibrations,dust and uranium phantom radioactive pollution having infinite biological effectiveness, with the high risk of us making the supreme sacrifice for the sake of the premature redevelopment. Our building structures are also being seriously affected. Are they causing the demolition of the surrounding structures as well?

Here is an SOS from us on the matter:

1. Health:

The uranium  dust being released by demolition has phantom radioactivity and has enormous affinity for our DNA and sits on the DNA cells emitting fast electrons with infinite biological effectiveness damaging both our somatic and germline cells and hence induces all types of illnesses. This results in our making the supreme sacrifice because of fatal uranium contamination of the body.

We are not prepared to make this supreme sacrifice for the sake of demolition.

2. Irreparable structural damage to adjacent buildings like our housing society. The blows being delivered by the dropping of the heavy chunks of concrete weighing some 9T or more causes some 100000 m/s/s uplift acceleration on 1 kg of our building foundation for about 0.1 sec. This is a vertical acceleration of 10000gs on 1 kg of the foundation for 0.1 sec. That is why we are constantly subject to sudden jolts lifting the building structure.

Because of their demolition I do not want our buildings to be damaged.

The other serious impact on the foundation is the explosive volume increase of the foundation mass because of 1000 blows per minute delivered by each hammer drill being used-each of some 2000W power. Probably 10 drills are being used simultaneously at 10000 blows per minute for 8 hrs. This may ultimately result in building collapse.

The details are in the URL below.

Excellent article covering many issues in demolition. You may incorporate the issues raised in the following article for a full and complete assessment of health and safety issues when premature demolition of a housing complex surrounded also by young housing complexes:

A ballpark estimate of unacceptable supreme sacrifices to be made regarding both the residents and the buildings in voluntarily in premature demolition of a young housing society in the midst of other young housing societies.

The amount of air breathed in by man in a day is 11 m^3

If the air in a 24 hr day contains 1 ug uranium metal of PM 1 um dia/m^3, the amount of such uranium inhaled per day/man is 11m^3/d*1ug/m^3= 11ug uranium of 1 um particle size or 2.78*10^16 atoms of uranium per day. The cement contains 3ug/g of cement.
Density of cement is 2400 kg/m^3. Or 2400000g is 1m^3. 1g cement is .45 um^3 or 0.766 um side cube. This contains 3ug of uranium metal.
How many grams of cement dust are thrown by the demolition in our neighbourhood into the air in an 8hr working day?
Stop the demolition of the young housing society in the midst of young housing societies all yet to reach the end of their useful life in six decades. At the end of their useful life, demolish all of them simultaneously according to SOPs regarding health and safety of people and buildings.

Mishraji why such a slanted preoccupation with Dilli when Nerul, Navi Mumbai shows severe category of PM 2.5 principal pollutant? See Dilli is max 387 compared with 443 at 3PM today and on several days at Nerul, Navi Mumbai. Please despecialize your vision project the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Chahal must realise that demolition and construction activities in the midst of a quiet residential area is premeditated mass murder with existing practices. Such a backbone is brittle and is causing epidemics and the precautionary principle must be applied and all such activities must be stopped. Improvement strategies and methods must be in place by strict regulations and implemented. Does the BMC Chief KNOW the magnitude of the consequences of his policies? You are making the backbone collapse first by letting diesel guzzling huge cranes, cement mixers, dumpers, earthmoving equipment operate in a confined space in the heart of what was a quiet residential area. These diesel guzzlers exhaust through their exhaust pipes burnt and unburnt gases and throughout the 14 hour day of construction, these exhausts get straight into your rooms and we have to sacrifice our rights for the sake of your murderous extremely noisy omnicidal Bombay backbones simulating Gaza by closing our windows and room doors and stay in one room like in the case of Covid 19⁷ epidemic? This diesel and noise pollution and dust are many orders of magnitude fold the globals you are stating because of the extreme closeness. Our activities must be forfeited for the sake of your cons profiteering for years? This has become monstrous because of your business as usual tamasik destructive useless modern civilization's brazen building 24 floors instead of six. And the corresponding pounding in our midst for pile foundation is cracking our structures.

It is not just farmers and crop residue burning. It is eliminate diesel now from construction sites and have battery operated dumpers, earth movers and cranes with solar cells supplying electricity for charging, etc. Use living energy enjoyably at construction sites. Let this be applied for both demolition and reconstruction. Reduce noise pollution  and search lights being beamed to bedrooms. Build only at most 6 story buildings.

Build so structures last at least for a century. Buildings must have trees surrounding them and every house must grow plants in open balconies.

Plan so sufficient societies are prohibited construction till their life of 100 years are completed. Live where you  work and work where you live. Throughout societies be wasteless.Dams of the world suddenly apply pressures on buildings far above anything they have been designed, even the strongest. So remove Dams and allow forest regeneration.  Use cycles for transport and mass transportation. Use handlooms for cloth making. Use vapour absorption air conditioning. The construction must include sewerless systems like tried plug-flow biodigesters and buildings must have sufficient space for these.
