Tapas Roy, the former Trinamul Congress MLA, who joined BJP recently, today demanded resignation of the mayor in the wake of 10 deaths in the collapse of an illegal structure at Garden Reach and said that the situation had come to such a pass that unauthorized structures throughout the city had transformed into an industry.
The former Baranagar lawmaker said that the buck should stop at the mayor for the loss of 10 lives and he should step down, taking responsibility for the incident.

Mr Roy said that the Trinamul party had no concern at all as it had not asked the mayor to step down and the mayor too is continuing in his post.
Earlier, the KMC deputy mayor Atin Ghosh too acknowledged the fact that the mayor could not shirk from his responsibility.
