sealed building on MG Road
This entry was posted in living in Delhi, pictures of Delhi and tagged gurgaon road destruction, mg road collapsing buildings, mg road sealed buildings, traffic delhi, traffic gurgaon. Bookmark the permalink.


I have noticed both the buildings on the MG Road between Mehrauli and Ghitorni. I am not sure when this photograph was taken, but the building looks the same even today.
Wow…what a great job of “sealing”! As one can see, it’s sealed so well, the frigging place is practically airtight! Well done, sealing crew!
Cheers,

As usual, great pics!
I hope it all clears up quickly and that the area once again is vibrant.
Did the shopowners get reimbursed adequately?
I have seen similar instances / events elsewhere, almost every where I traveled in urban India. We Indians keep boasting of development-achievements, which remain helf-hearted, take any field, including recent hungama in the Parliament House or Wi-Fi technology involvement in bomb attacks, or Tata’s policy on his Brand Nano…
As I had stint with practice of architecture and town planning for some time, there is nothing that I should be proud of so-called progress and development.
The images on your blog is a chronicle of history today.
