Dear Mr. Vohra ji,
I totally agree with Mr. Ghei re. security concern. Let's frankly admit that security situation in residential colonies is going from bad to worse. Police is helpless. A situation has now come that the affected residents, irrespective of the volume and nature of calamity on account of thefts that had taken place at their residences do not report to Police nor file FIR, as it has been found useless except the residents' harrassment! Let's admit frankly. The Police is also ineffective not because of lack of system but due mainly to acute shortage of manpower. For instance, the SHO/Anand Vihar has been provided over 200 police personnel but he has to look after a huge/unmanageable area under his jurisdiction. Consequently, he has provided, for example, only two constables to Anand Vihar colony which covers an area of 90 acres of land and over 1500 residential dwelling units! Can 2 constables manage the entire area 24 hrs.!
It is high time that the Govt. also support under the Bhagidari scheme provision of major and expensive equipment like CCTV and/or facilitate provision of 'iron gates' at the main outlets and construction of periphery walls etc. to make the colony a 'gated one' so that we could have better security management. The Govt. could subsidize the expenditure on this account, monetarily, with a fool proof system, like the 'subsidy being given to maintenance of parks' to the RWAs. The Govt. must have faith and confidence on the office-bearers of the RWAs who will be accountable for all transactions on this account. A time has come to doubly strengthen the RWAs and bring about 'guidelines' as in the sport bodies which the Sports Ministry is trying hard to bring about to streamline the functioning of National sports federations, where the office-bearers never quit unless by nature of death!
We could meet and mutually assist each other with such above suggestions, provided the matter is discussed dispassionately and with no ulterior motive except with the basic concept of 'serving and loving' aam admi i.e. our residents!
Best regards,
TK Balu
Hony.Secretary/RBECHS/Anand Vihar
Excellent. I do not think any thing can be added what Mr.Balu has said. Perhaps, all of us could take up this in Bhagidari Meets.
ReplyDeleteIt is high time that at least bloggers should meet,discuss it without any ulterior motive,chalk out action plan and take up in press and electronic media.
Now we look to vohra ji and request him to lead the flock
