Following the disposal of writ petitions by the Madras High Court, officials from the Local Planning Authority (LPA) with assistance from Corporation and Police on Thursday resumed the drive to demolish the second and third floors of Vigneshwar Cresta building on Avanashi Road. A fire that broke out in the building on April 25 this year claimed four lives and left many injured.

Officials from LPA had served a notice on the building owner in April 2013 for violations and commenced a drive to demolish the structure. However, the demolition drive was suspended in two-days following stay by the Madras High Court based on a writ petition by the building owner.

The Madras High Court on November 19, 2013 had disposed off the writ petitions stating that it would not interfere with regard to the second and third floors which were not in consonance with the approved building plan. However, it directed the respondents i.e., the Member Secretary of LPA to consider a fresh appeal, if any filed by the building owner in respect of ground and first floor, by merit and in accordance with the law.

Consequently, the building owner had filed an appeal before the Member Secretary on December 10 seeking regularization of the building, sources said.

While the prayers of the petitioner regarding the ground and first floor are under consideration, District Collector Archana Patnaik, who is also the Chairperson of the LPA on December 24, 2013 ordered for demolition of the second and third floors. Demolition order was sent to the building owner by post and was also pasted on the doors at the building and as well as at the residence.

Decision to demolish came in the wake of the Fire and Rescue Services Department denying No Objection Certificate for failure to comply with ten conditions, Public Works Department in its stability certificate declaring that the structure was not fit for occupation. Coimbatore Corporation has also turned down the application from the petitioner seeking regularization of the building under the provisions of the Government Order No 234 and 235. The orders were meant only for regularization of buildings constructed before July 1, 2007 (subject to extent of violations and deviations).

Meanwhile, the LPA in its reply stated that approved building plan of December 22, 1999 was for industrial use but the same has now been turned into a commercial building. The height and width of the basement, extent of area constructed on ground and first floor were more than the approved plan, the notice added.

Officials said that the notice issued in April following the fire accident continues to be in force. Accordingly, the demolition drive began on Thursday morning amid tight police security under the supervision of Member Secretary of LPA S. Chandrasekharan. Demolition is expected to be completed in a day or two.

UN Agency Condemns Israeli Demolition of Arab Homes, Urges Adherence to International Law

New York, Dec 26 2013 - The United Nations agency assisting Palestinian refugees today condemned Israels latest demolitions in the West Bank which have displaced 68 people, including 32 children, in the depths of winter, saying it is violating international law and calling on it to abide by its obligations.

Because of these demolitions, which violate international law, these historically self-sufficient communities have been forced to endure the pitiless seasonal weather in inadequate housing, entirely dependent on international assistance, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said of the demolitions which took place on Christmas Eve in Ein Ayoub near Ramallah and Fasayil Al Wusta near Jericho in the Jordan valley.

We call on Israel to abide by its obligations under international law, most particularly to ensure the humane treatment and protection of the civilian Palestinian population at all times, including through an immediate halt to administrative demolitions, it added, noting that to date at least 1,103 Palestinians have been displaced throughout the West Bank in Area C, and East Jerusalem, exceeding the numbers for 2012.

Area C, where Israel still retains control over security, planning and building, represents over 60 per cent of the West Bank.

The majority of those displaced most recently, 46, are Palestinian refugees, including a five-year-old girl who is paralyzed from the waist down. They are now being sheltered in tents distributed by the Palestinian Red Crescent, with night-time temperatures plunging to around zero Celsius, while some 750 head of sheep and goats are without shelter at this crucial lambing season.

These are Bedouin communities who managed to weather the recent snow storms, UNRWA said. On this day, many people around the world are celebrating family life with their children. But thanks to the administrative demolitions these families have lost their homes and their livelihoods are severely threatened.

The Agency stressed that administrative demolition is not a solution for Palestinians in Area C and are a common trigger of forced displacement, possibly amounting to a forcible transfer and forced eviction under international humanitarian law and human rights law.

It reiterated a statement in September by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay that mass demolitions raise serious concerns about the prohibition on forced eviction under international human rights law, and Israels obligations to respect, protect and fulfill the rights of Palestinians to adequate housing and freedom from arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy, family and home.

Of the 1,103 Palestinians displaced so far this year, about a third are refugees, and at least 558 are children, including 195 refugees.

There were no smoke alarms in the trailer where three children died in a Christmas morning fire and several others were hurt, authorities said.

Installation tips: Experts offer the following tips when installing smoke alarms:

--- Sleeping areas need the most protection. One detector in a short hallway outside the bedroom is usually adequate. Hallways longer than 30 feet need one at each end. The best is a detector in each bedroom.

--- Keep the detector away from fireplaces, wood stoves and cooking areas to avoid false alarms. Dont remove the batteries after repeated false alarms, leaving family members without protection.

--- Place smoke detectors at the top of each stairwell. Smoke rises easily through stairwells. )( You can mount many detectors by yourself, but those connected to the household wiring should have their own separate circuit and be installed by a professional electrician.

--- If you mount your detector on the ceiling, keep it at least 18 inches away from walls and corners. On a wall, place it 6 to 12 inches below the ceiling and away from corners. Keep them high because smoke rises.

--- Never place them closer than 3 feet from an air register that might re-circulate smoke. Dont place them near doorways or windows where drafts could impair the detector operation. Dont place them on an uninsulated exterior wall or ceiling; temperature extremes can affect the batteries.

The fire at 120 Whispering Oaks Court, a trailer park on Main Street near East Street in Houma, killed a 13-year-old girl, her two brothers, ages 11 and 12, and landed both parents in a Baton Rouge burn center, authorities said. Seven other family members were treated and released.

Authorities say the survivors of Wednesdays fatal blaze told them they didnt know there was a fire until smoke seeped down the hall and underneath a closed bedroom door.

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) December 26, 2013

Peter's Heating and Air Conditioning now offers duct cleaning to ensure fresher indoor air. Now that winter is here, many Midwest residents choose to stay inside to keep warm. But being inside might mean breathing air that is contaminated, especially if its been a while since the air ducts were cleaned. To ensure cleaner air, Peters recommends that when needing furnace repair Columbia Illinois homeowners and businesses consider profession cleaning of their air ducts as well.

Recent environmental studies confirm, the air we breathe inside may be 10 to 100 times more polluted than the air outside. The air ducts inside our workplace or home can harbor:

These contaminants can aggravate various illnesses such as asthma, allergies and even lung disease. Since the standard filter only stops about 10% of these airborne contaminants, and most modern homes have improved insulation, the accumulation of these pollutants indoors is greater than ever before.

Peters recommends homeowners have their ductwork cleaned by a professional every two to three years. Newer methods of cleaning, such as the Duct Scrubber method that Peters uses, dont just vacuum the dirt out of the ducts, but scrub and disinfect them as well. This will ensure cleaner air is circulated throughout the home, and airborne contaminants will be reduced.

Peters Heating & Air Conditioning wants everyone to breath easier this winter. To schedule a professional duct cleaning service, or to learn about other air quality, heating and cooling services, contact Peters at 877-938-7662 or visit http://www.petersheatingandair.com.
