Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal, currently recuperating from a head injury, made a public appearance on Monday to address the Garden Reach building collapse. Despite her own medical concerns, Banerjee emphasized the need for stern action against those responsible for illegal constructions, standing in solidarity with affected families.
Since sustaining a forehead injury requiring four stitches on Thursday, Monday marked Banerjee’s first public appearance. Despite her condition, she prioritized addressing the aftermath of the building collapse, demonstrating her commitment to governance and public welfare.
Banerjee’s presence at the Garden Reach site prompted swift action, leading to the immediate arrest of the promoter responsible for the illegal construction, Md Wasim. Additionally, the state announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh for each family of the deceased.
Addressing the media, Banerjee emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety of neighboring communities during construction activities. She urged the administration to take decisive measures against illegal constructions, emphasizing the need for accountability and adherence to legal protocols.
Expressing solidarity with affected families, Banerjee reiterated the government’s commitment to providing support and compensation to those impacted by the tragedy. She personally visited the local hospital to meet with the injured, ensuring that their needs were addressed and providing reassurance regarding their condition.
Despite her injury and subsequent hospital visit, Banerjee remained resolute in her duties, briefly stopping at SSKM hospital before returning home. Her proactive response underscores the state government’s dedication to ensuring public safety and accountability in construction practices.
