Dear Prof Rebeiro,
Thank you, Sir, for posting on Architexturez your
letter to Secretary MoUD about my letters about IBC
awards, conferred through President of India, upon a
project by your firm and projects in (ridge and
riverbed) violations of Delhi Master Plan. I am sorry
for not responding earlier, but I only saw it today.

I had apologized in my letter to the President for a
situation that I still maintain was most unfortunate
and should not have arisen. With your response
defending the IBC Awards without taking a position
about, indeed by obfuscating, the fact that two of the
projects honoured involve Master Plan violations,
perhaps I need to apologize again... It saddens me
very much, Sir, that you, who have known me since I
was a baby-Planner, have questioned my credentials and
credibility as Planner just to defend some building
awards.

I have posted a reply to your response at
http://plan.architexturez.net/site/profession/awards/ibc04/040827
I have not sent this to Secretary MoUD who is not a
planner (and who you forgot to mention in your letter
is patron of IBC). I would like you to tell me how I
am wrong in my assessment that Delhi Government
Secretariat and Garden of 5-Senses are illegal in
terms of Delhi Master Plan. While it is not easy for
me, especially at a personal level, to have to defend
in public debate with you the Plan that you wrote, I
assure you I suffer from no crisis of confidence about
it and defend it I will.  

Your sincerely
Gita Dewan Verma, Planner
