A news item on one newkerala.com announced last week
that President of India is to honour architects of
three complexes that Indian Builders Congress has
selected out of all the buildings constructed in the
country last year for its annual awards for excellence
-- Two of the three excellences involve ridge /
riverbed violations of Delhi Master Plan and the third
raises at least questions about professional ethics.

Letters to Council of Architecture to request
investigation, to MoUD to request inquiry / assessment
pending in related matters, and to the President to
apologize for failure of professions to prevent his
unnecessary involvement in such mess are posted at:

[oye, site is currently prose-dump, so spare smart
design crits. prose is serious, r-e-a-c-t accordingly.
am posting on not-public proudpora and mpisgplanner
lists (so two will get twice). in-enaction (public)
has announced url, so line-up to bat.]
