INLD leader, advocate Vijay Bansal, has served legal notice to the Financial Commissioner-cum-principal secretary, department of Revenue and Disaster Management and Consolidation, Haryana, principal secretary, department of Information and Public Relations, Haryana, financial commissioner, department of Town and Country Planning, Haryana, and Deputy Commissioner-cum-chairman, District Disaster Management Committee, Panchkula, over their apathetic attitude towards disaster management in the recent years.

Bansal said the Disaster Management Act, 2005, was enacted by the Government of India to provide requisite institutional mechanisms to monitor the implementation of the disaster management plans. The aim was to ensure measures by various wings of government to prevent disasters and for undertaking a holistic, coordinated and prompt response to any disaster-like situation. The Act also provides for the constitution of the national funds at the state and district-levels. It also provides for specific role for local bodies in disaster management, including Panchayati Raj Institutions as well as urban local bodies like municipalities.

The notice also interpreted that Panchkula was vulnerable to earthquakes and prone to destruction, because of Pinjore fault lines.

The Geological Survey of India gave a detailed report that Chandimandir and places close to Nada-Sahib were more prone to destructions.
