Kolkata Collapse: CM Suvendu Adhikari Blames ‘Money-for-Permission’ Regime, Flags Audit Lapses

West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari briefs the media from the Taratala collapse site, confirming 8 deaths and 10–11 injured in hospital. He says Army, NDRF and special wings were deployed in time, but blames the previous government for allegedly giving construction permissions “in lieu of money”. Adhikari highlights faulty building audit, wrong site-plan sanction, and reveals SMPA owns the land leased to Swambhunath Behra & Partners.
