'Government of India should penalise Tamil Nadu government for floods'
'The Chennai floods in particular clearly show there is a nexus between corruption, disaster, destruction and death.'
'Urban development in India is the source of all corruption.'
M G Devasahayam, a former Indian Administrative Service officer who has worked in urban planning, energy, utility management (public transport, electricity), accountability and governance in public services, has been critical of the way cities are being developed in India by forgetting rules, regulations and environment.
In this interview to Shobha Warrier/Rediff.com, Devasahayam, who served in the Indian Army before joining the IAS, believes the Tamil Nadu government is responsible for the unprecedented floods that crippled Chennai last week.
He was also quite critical of the new capital city Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is building on the banks of the Krishna. In fact, Devasayam, image, below, had led a fact-finding team from the National Alliance of People's Movements, which he had started, to the 29 villages in the state's new proposed capital region.
