The root cause of this failure is our legal framework. Tenancy laws ensured that the property could never be transferred but a ‘pagdi’ was given to keep the nominal rent. Meanwhile, nobody wants to fix the building – the landlord because all they get is a nominal rent and the tenants who don’t have the actual papers. So, the buildings fall apart. The unreformed judicial system with its interminable delays ensures that rental market is virtually non-existent and so people living in dilapidated buildings have no where to go either. There will be much finger pointing but the failure is systemic. But who will blame our legal system for murder?
