Press Invite
Dear

We invite you to a press briefing

Starting on September 3, 2005, a panel set up by the Concerned Citizens’
Commission to enquire into the Mumbai Floods will preside over a series
of public hearings and depositions involving members of the public as
well as those at different levels of the government administration. The
prime aim will be to inquire into the causes that led to the collapse of

property. A wide variety of people’s groups have endorsed this
initiative and will participate in the hearings.

citizens: Justice PB Sawant, Retd. Supreme Court Judge (Chairman), Ms.
Teesta Setalvad (Citizens for Justice and Peace), Mr. Shyam Chainani
