Circle rates of some Delhi colonies to rise further

The Delhi government Monday decided to throw open the revised circle rates - the minimum selling price of a plot - of properties in the city to public opinion after discussing a committee report, which has decided to further increase the rates of some colonies. 

Chaired by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, a cabinet meeting decided to defer a decision on the circle rates on the sale and purchase of properties, noting that people can send back their opinion on the matter within six weeks, following which a final decision will be taken. 

According to a source, a three-member committee, set up to look into complaints that circle rates of some colonies were too high and of others too low, gave its report deciding to hike the rates of some of the colonies. The committee also noted discrepancies in the already decided rates. 

As per the recommendation, Bhera Enclave, a northwest area in which Delhi's Public Works Department Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan lives, has seen an increase of circle rates from Rs.43,000 per sq. metre fixed last time to Rs.86,000 now. The circle rates in areas near Bhera Enclave are already fixed at Rs.86,000.

BHAGIDARI AND MCD

Bhagidari perhaps was started in 2002 at initiative of Shiela ji CM DELHI.
Thereafter DAY TO DAY functions, like parks and anitation was to be entrusted to RWAS.
I am very happy to inform that our Madhuvan RWA has been chosen to take charge of parks in Madhuvan new delhi 110092.
Our rwa has entrusted this work to me.
Honorary secretary Sh.A.C.Agarwal( retired IAS officer) has circulated to all residents of Madhuvan this development.
Perhaps sanitation services will also follow suit.
Now it will be for residents to ensure upkeep of parks.
Kindly advise us what we must do to make the scheme a success.

EDRWA'S JOINT FRONT

Regarding east delhi rwa's joint front first meeting

It was a wonderful experience to be a part and parcel of historic event.
The success has been possible with exemplary initiative of our president vohra ji and full team. In a short time, FULL MC was able to take organisational decisions.
Now it is upto us to make our joint front popular and known to all nooks and corners of east delhi.
Immediately, working committee and especially core committee must become functional and hold weekly meetings to review day to day progress.
Just after adoption of constitution, we need to get our joint front registered.
But active members must exchange view points and developments on daily basis.
For this, perhaps vohra ji could consider circulating e mail ids and mobile numbers of working committee members.
Again i congratulate and salute vohra ji.

High mast lights

Hi,

Ref: High mast lights

A high mast light was installed in 2004 in our area by the then MLA,but it was functional for only few months,repeated complaints to MCD have yielded no results.In 2009 some more lights were installed but MCD has made no effort to maintain them some of them are not functioning from day one.Even maintainance of lights come under two authorities BSES and MCD.Things can never improve with shared accountability,its a easy way out for both the agencies to shift the blame on each other.

FIRST MEETING OF EAST DELHI RWAs JOINT FRONT

Dear Vohra ji,

We take the opportunity to thank you and your Team once again for the rare 100 per cent attendance and the enthusiasm with which the meeting was conducted.  We also sincerely  thank the host,    Mrs. Ghei , for all the hospitality she  kindly extended.

Vohra ji, my name is Ram Niwas (not Nath) Gupta.  When you circulate the list of office bearers,please remember to include their mobile numbers and email addresses. 

As regards high mast lights in parks, I quite agree with Ghei Sahib.  We also face the same problem of calling the Councillor every time the light is not functioning.  Although, our Councillor is quite active and gets the lights fixed up very soon, there should be a central authority to handle these lights.

A suggestion :  I am sure all the office bearers have internet, if not,  suggest they get one for prompt and efficient functioning.  Best of Luck!

High Mast lights

These lighting poles have been erected in parks and markets etc from MCOUNCILLOR FUNDS OR FROM MLA FUND.
THROUGHOUT DELHI , so far there is no uniform system in attending non functioning lights.in the event of non functioning or other complaints, the residents have to request concerned councillor who in turn get these attended.
But during last six months there are problems due to non award of fresh contract.
So, now even in ornamental park like OUR MADHUVAN park near entry gate, the no body is attending such complaints.
The park remains in darkness every day till next day dawns.
Why we cannot have a centralised complaint number to get these complaints recorded and attended.
Kindly advise status in your area.

The east delhi joint front is a hope which can take us forward. It is high time that organisational issues are sorted out in first meeting. Hope vohra ji would be organsing first meeting on this sunday.
To give ample time to members, vohra ji may kindly consider issue of meeting notice today itself.
The delay in making east delhi joint front will dishearten the rwas who are members of front.

LG, MPs, BJP let Delhi down

The way things are unfolding, every Delhiite is getting greatly disappointed by those who are in charge of the affairs of this historic city. Every day begins as a nightmare and office goers will testify that it takes upto two hours to reach their destinations. The same story gets repeated in the evening and there is just no let up so far as traffic jams go. It is easy to put the blame on the doorstep of the police and accuse the force of failing to regulate smooth traffic flow.

However, what can the police do if the roads have sunk or if there are huge potholes on every stretch. In addition, the water logging makes things even more difficult and needless to say the driving skills or lack of these of motorists and motorcyclists make things even worse. The Delhi government and its allied agencies have completely failed the citizens. The Congress and the BJP take pride in accusing each other but the truth is that every Delhiite is suffering and no one is listening. These mega projects have contributed in making this city so ugly that one wonders what will those who come for the Commonwealth Games see when they reach India’s capital.

As someone who was born and grew up here, I just cannot recall when the plight of the city and its citizens was worse than what it is today. Unchecked corruption and sub standard work has put us in a very embarrassing position on the eve of an international event. For the last two years, I have raised my deep concerns over the ability of those entrusted with the job of sprucing up the city but all warnings have fallen on deaf ears. No one seems to listen or let us put it this way that no one cares.

I am astonished why the Lt. Governor of the city who is the overall boss is keeping quiet. His passiveness is being interpreted as his lack of concern and many in the political circles are even saying that he is scared of the elected government in the city. I do not think that is true but it is for him to show some action. His detractors also believe that he has deliberately kept silent since he knows that there are a lot of financial irregularities. Being a typical bureaucrat, he is happy that his name is not figuring anywhere. But that is not the way, Mr Tejinder Khanna. You must take charge and save this city. You must visit sites and pull up officials like many of your worthy predecessors. The buck stops at you and there is no argument about that. You head the DDA and every agency of the government comes under your charge. You are the representative of the Centre and also the Administrator of the National Capital Territory. You cannot absolve yourself from anything.

Secondly, there are 10 MPs including seven from Lok Sabha who represent the capital in Parliament. What are they doing about the city and the constituencies they represent? Why are they quiet? Do they not have any accountability to the people? Do they know that people have taken note of their passive stance and will give their verdict at an appropriate time? They must take up the issue at party fora and with their colleagues in the government. The mess in the city is a very poor reflection on all the MPs as well as it is on the Delhi government.

Third, when will the BJP stop being the ‘B’ team of the government? If one goes by the proceedings of the Delhi Assembly, the Saffron brigade has completely lost it. It has no leader either within the Assembly or outside it whose heart bleeds for this city anymore. Does the party not realize that it will fail to be an alternative to the Congress, at least in Delhi if it does not put its act together? The BSP is waiting in the wings and if Mayawati puts up good candidates and campaigns extensively, she can make a dent in at least five of the seven Lok Sabha constituencies. It is bad news both for the Congress and the BJP.

Finally, the Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit must rise to the occasion and save the city, which has elected her three times. She should free herself from the shackles of the bureaucracy and vested interests and take some firm steps to resuscitate the capital we all love. It has to be done before it is too late. The guilty must be punished and brought to book. This should also be construed as an appeal from an agitated and concerned citizen.

Priydarshini vihar residents insecurity

Dear Mr. Vohra ji,

I totally agree with the views expressed by the Priyadarshini Vihar RWA. It is the main responsibility of the Police to ensure safety and security of people at large and in residential colonies. The RWAs are, in fact, spending money on security, which the main responsibility of the Delhi Police, as I had reiterated earlier a number of times, and wasting their huge chunk of money on this specific aspect which could be utilised for better and developmental-oriented purposes! The MCD had issued 'guidelines' which we normally observe. If one man objects to putting up the gate at a particular place which is essential for security, let that fellow shift to some posh place and social boycot should be enforced by all others! It is reiterated that the security and safety of people is the vital and main responsibility of the Police and if they cannot enforce it due to various reasons e.g. inadequate force etc. let them compensate the RWAs for providing security of the colony so that we could take care of our internal security. Let's spread this message to all and let's get together on this vital issue which is of concern of all and of paramount importance!

Over 1500 students from different schools of the area participated in the competition and over 900 drawings were accepted for competition. Dr Hardhvardhan - MLA, Dr. Monga - area councillor as well representatives of various RWA's & Market associations visited on the occassion. The Prize distribution ceremony will be held on 5th september.

PRIYADARSHINI VIHAR RESIDENTS FEEL INSECURE

Dear Sir,

The incidents of crimes are not stopping in Priyadarshini Vihar since the removal of the iron security gatesin the colony, by the MCD on 28th January 2009. At least 20 cases of robbery, thefts, chain snatchings have been reported and FIRs registered. The latest being (i) chain snatching of a NRI lady guest of one of our residents in A-Block on 24th July 2010 where two gun shots were also fired; (ii) chain snatched of a lady in front of A-Block, when an auto driver tried to stop the bikers, they fired at him and escaped; (iii) an attempt to snatch chain of a lady by a masked biker in A-Block on 8th August; and (iv) robbers broke in a house in A-Block early after noon on 22nd August and escaped with goods worth several lakhs of rupees. MCD removed the iron security gates because the area Police did not provide a NOC required under its guidelines.

Para 3(f) of the MCD guidelines states that "the RWA shall ensure that there is consensus among the residents regarding putting up of any gates so as to avoid disputes". All our gates conform to the MCD guidelines, and 99.9% of the residents have signed in favour of iron security gates for the security and safety of their lives and properties. Onlyone resident has objection to erection of security gates.

The Delhi Police has also issued S.O. No.382/2009 laying down guidelines for erection of gates for security purposes, which says " the RWAs shall ensure that there is total consensus............." It looks very obvious that the Police issued the above S.O. under some pressure, otherwise why should the Police issue guidelines for erection of gates when it is the responsibility of the MCD. In a democracy there can never be a "total consensus". Even in Parliament Bills and Acts are passed with majority votes.

Delhi Police which is the guardian of the security and safety of the citizens of Delhi, should not play with the security and safety of the entire colony, including over 250 senior citizens, some of whom live alone, just for the sake of one single resident. Through this Blog, we sincerely request HE. the Lt. Governor of Delhi to kindly intervene and pass suitable direction to the Delhi Police in this regard.

Sewrage treatment plant causing havoc at Mayfair Appts., (EWCGHS) 96, I.P. Extn., Patparganj

I'm a resident of Mayfair Appts., (EWCGHS) 96, I.P. Extn., Patparganj. Behinde our society we hve a sewrage treatment plant. All the garbage that has been collected since the inception of this plant it has never been cleaned/removed. It's a breeding ground for mosquitos & flies. Sometimes the caretakers put fire to it & all the fumes/smoke spread to our society & the nearby St. Andrews Scot School. Moreover the empty space near to the plant is used by ruffians staying in Chander Vihar for gambling/drinking.

I request Mr. Sandeep Dixit, MP East Delhi to kindly look into the matter urgently when DENGUE & MALARIA is spreading rampantly in Delhi.

Thanks

Death traps or parks for play or walking pleasure.

During august 2010, unprecedented deaths due to electrocution have taken place. Children dying in school, colleges and parks as well as on roads due to touching of uncared live wires is UN ACCEPTABLE.
If i remember correctly, each electrical accident is to be reported by department concerned to ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR DELHI ADMINISTRATION.
FIR is to be registered by police and investigation to be carriend out independently by department, police and electrical inspector.
There used to be court cases also and the officers concerned used to be punished for their lapses.
I was member of ELECTRICAL ACCIDENT INQUIRY COMMITTEE CONSTITUTED BY DESU and was also member of BOARD OF EXAMINERS DELHI ADMINISTRATION.
So, i know from my personal experience that most of the electrocution casses are due to non operation of protective devices in substation. BSES IS DEPLOYING UN TRAINED AND UN AUTHORISED PERSONS TO CARRY OUT REPAIR AND ATTEND NO CURRENT COMPLAINTS.
It is in the interest of all of us that a sample check is carried out in all parts of delhi.
The electrocution cases need to be monitored but i do not know how it can be done.

electricity poles in parks and colonies

Friends,

It has been observed that the insulation tapes covering the wires of electricity poles have come off due to the rains,as a result they have become death traps.Kindly check the poles in your area for any live hanging wires for safety of the residents and children.We found two such poles in mcd parks and got them repaired by Bses workers. MCD just believes in installing poles without bothering for its maitainance.

10km or twenty km...just plan requirement

Delhi Administration has finally woken up to the need of replacement of old damaged or choked sewage lines. NEGLECT over last fifty years has magnified problem. Now the need is to start this work and monitor progress on daily basis and then compare with the target set for the day. Sewage replacement work must be simultaneously started in all zones. Very large number of social workers can be deployed as observers. Shiela ji must act as a team leader and get this work done on priority. SEWAGE BLOCKED OVER YEARS also need to be done to ensure proper flow in the desired direction.

10-km Water, Sewerage Line In Each Constituency Soon, Says Diksht

Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Wednesday announced that the Delhi Government planned to lay a 10-km sewerage line and 10-km water line in each constituency in a year. Dikshit's remarks came while replying to a supplementary question pertaining to water supply during Question Hour. The Chief Minister said that the Government planned to replace old sewer lines and water lines in each constituency.

The House also witnessed a verbal dual between Dikshit and Congress MLA Neeraj Basoya, a camp follower of Ajay Maken on the issue of water supply. Basoya alleged that several areas like Garhi, Defence Colony and Sewa Nagar in his constituency were not getting drinking water despite repeated complaints to the Delhi Jal Board. He alleged that he raised the issue with the Chief Minister on several occasions but the situation did not improve. Upset over his allegations, Dikshit denied that DJB was deliberately not redressing his complaints. She further advised Basoya that since he was a first time MLA he should continue pursuing his case with the officials and department concerned to facilitate proper water supply in his locality. The Chief Minister also advised members that if they have any problems they should properly pursue the matter.

Plz upgrade websites of MCD, PWD, DDA etc.

Dear Shri Vohra ji,

 

I fully and totally endorse the views expressed over here. Moreover we have to ensure that the mails are opened and acted upon by the officials concerned as normally they are not tech-savy and/or do not have time to see the mails and respond. Not even an ack. is received. Our experience has been totally negative right from Lt.Gov./CM to Commissioner of Police, MCD, DDA etc. Numerous mails sent to them over a year back, we have not received even an ack. Of course, they get a lot of publicity on this account through advt. in newspapers.

 

Let's call from our friends who have been tech-savy whether their mails have been responded at all, even after reminders, and desired action taken. This will prove the worth of such attempts! We wonder when our officialdom etc. will 'wake-up to respond aam aadmi's grievances expressed through various means'! How long and to whom should we pray, except the ALMIGHTY to respond or at least ack. so that a symptom of action is seen! Is it asking too much?

 

With best regards,

How can we prevent electrical accidents in our homes

Most of the times,cause of fire and devastation is electrical short circuits. The deaths due to electrocution are on the rise.Such unfortunate happenings can be prevented. We get electricity through over head or underground cable. The armor or steel flat strips wrapped inside insulation are to be connected to earthing system of our homes at meter board. Unfortunately this is not done.

Even in our homes, we do not bother whether switches are connected on phase or on neutral . Switches must be connected to phase. Miniature circuit breakers must be installed on each circuit. I will be writing on this safety aspect. 

Hope that we prevent loss of life or property by simple precautions.

Sir,

 

Vohraji deserves a lot of acclaim, appreciation and a big pat for the wonderful work that he has been doing, single handed,  to bring East Delhi RWAs in the forefront of happenings in Delhi.  The RWA Bhagidari portal and the Joint Front were formally launched on the Independence Day 2010. Presence of representatives of so many RWAs on the occasion, in itself is an indicator that the Joint Front will be a great success story. 

 

On behalf of the Managing Committee of the Priyadarshini Vihar RWA, I congratulate the President designate, Shri B.S. Vohra, Senior Vice President, Shri K. K. Ghei,Senior Vice President, Shri Anil Bajpai and the other team members for the successful launchof the Joint Front.  The task is difficult, but jointly we can overcome any hurdles on our way.

 

We assure of  our full co-operation and support

Dear Vohra ji,

 

PAR EXCELLENCE!

I have gone through the directory pertaining to our Society. You had given what we had transmitted. Thanks. We wish every RWA gives similar information so that all the RWAs will become more knowledgeable! In case not available, we may obtain. Secondly, please check-up if all the RWAs have their mail ID. This will help us a lot in communication and interaction. In case they don't have this facility they can tie-up with one of their office-bearers, who have this facility and let you know. In this modern age we cannot any longer communicate through typed letters, post them etc. Let's be realistic.

 

I hope you had circulated the 'ten commandments' which I had already sent to you. We may get the comments and proceed ahead in our march to attain our objectives.

 

Let's first take as a challenge the 'water tariff' escalation which I had already sent to you. This should be brought to the notice of all RWAs, who may not be aware of its far reaching financial implications! We must take up this issue at the level of our Hon'ble CM and HE Lt.Governor. At the lower level, this won't receive attention, it deserves!

 

Can't bring out the RWAs directory and contact nos. of public services in 'print' form and make it a subsidized book, which may be availed of all RWAs. This will be handy for reference etc.

 

With best regards and thanking you once again,

 

TK Balu

Secretary/RBECHS/ANAND VIHAR

Water logging in krishan nagar is a very old problem.

From 1977 to 1980 DESU XEN office was located in krishan nagar and i was executive engineer incharge of total transyamuna area for electricity. As you know, the nallah flowing on east side is at almost dry and was dry in summer season.But in rainy season, there would be back flow from nallah towards krishan nagar and imagine the miserable conditions faced by residents.

Now situation has changed. The nallah has been widened and lot of desilting done. But it is unfortunate that authorities failed to anticipate what will happen in rainy season.

Let us wait for launch of our JOINT FRONT. It is necessary that such problems must be high lighted and solution found.

Water logging & Traffic jam - basic civic problems of Krishna Nagar - will any one look into it ?

www.RWABhagidari.blogspot.com

Since last over 25 years there is none to stop water logging in Krishna nagar

Krishna nagar, the first DLF colony, a posh locality drowned in the rains today. Since last over 25 years the residents are facing the same problem, but till date no respite, no hope, no assurances from any section of administration or elected members. 25 years ago CNN came to us for interview and today we are expecting Delhi Aaj Tak. Is there any one who cares for the residents of the area who suffer heavy losses due to this regular water logging where one can view floating beds, sofa sets inside the homes.

Floor-Area Ratio May Rise In Places Near Metro,BRT In Delhi,Subdivision Of Plots May Now Be Possible

In a move that may pave the way for further construction in many localities including some upscale ones the Delhi cabinet has decided to recommend to the Centre an increase in the floor-area ratio of houses along Metro corridors, the BRT, some special areas and unauthorized colonies which have been regularized. There is also a proposal to allow subdivision of plots in the regularized colonies.  

Though the specifics are yet to be worked outlike the exact FAR increase and the distance from Metro corridors and BRT where the new proposals will apply by the looks of it, large areas of south Delhi including Greater Kailash, Defence Colony and Lajpat Nagar may make the cut if the recommendations are accepted.

After the cabinet meeting, urban development minister A K Walia said the suggestion to allow increased FAR along Metro and BRT corridors was to prevent unplanned congestion and help redevelopment of these areas. Sources said the suggestions are based on the premise that better transport facilities lead to more people crowding to these areas and the need to pre-empt a mess in these colonies.

Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit said the decision was taken keeping in view the increase in family units and related residential needs.

The proposal to increase the floor-area ratio of houses along Metro corridors, the BRT, some special areas and unauthorized colonies that have been regularized came in for sharp criticism from architect and town planner, Kuldip Singh. ``It's the most thoughtless thing that could have been proposed. The reason for promoting public transport system is to decongest the city. Allowing more FAR along such corridors will lead to further congestion,'' he said.

Creativity comes from within

I may be pardoned to repeat what had earlier been blogged. But it is very much relevant today.

Over the last six centuries, the top writers,poets,scientists etc etc have been young persons between the age of 20 to 40 years.
Why india has not produced any world class invention in the field of medicine,medical treatment, electronics or any useful and comfort item.
There is nothing in present generation born before indepence or after independence which could show that we are tax payers and followers of laws.
We pride in evading income tax, sale tax and hoodwinking authorities.
It is only the YOUTHS who could correct the situation.
The need is to create pressure groups and then to channalise their energies.
GAMES ARE TO BE ORGANISED THIS YEAR.
The world will be watching not only games but our conduct on roads, in and around the game venue.
What is your reaction to above and how to eradicate above tendency of avoiding responsibilities.

Water charges enhancement !

Dear Mr. Vohra ji,

I wonder whether you have the knowledge that the water charges have been  enhanced astronomically and our associate members as well. However, we are attaching the relevant documents for giving wide publicity through your blog and bring it to the notice of the Govt. as well right from top to bottom. In case you have already taken up the matter with the authorities concerned, pl. let us know. Notwithstanding, we are also forwarding the same to the officials concerned right from top to bottom i.e. LG/CM to EE/DJB for drawing their attention and taking remedial action on priority. Your views are also solicited on this vexed issue!

Best regards,

CWG & corruption

Dear Mr. Vohra,

 

I have read Mr. Vijay Kochar's view and think still there are some Nation Loving persons amongst us. I ,really, fail to understand what many a Leaders/ Public Servants are doing for the Nation ?( as if they are not the part of Govt/nation.?) now some  leaders announce a national strike call for the C W. Games or Kashmir un -rest/ burning of Govt. Property etc. etc.

I have been to Kashmir many a times,there are mountains,lakes,gardens,Rivers " Where from loads of STONES have come from now only"? ? never seen before ? Kashmir was a place of beauty and peace, Where are those days of Brotherhood of Pandits, Muslims and Sikhs in J&K ? Now the J&K State Govt. should be answerable to Parliament and jointly both should be answerable to the nation for such activities in J&K and other States too.

 IF good Opposition wants to have some creative service to the Nation WHY THEY SHOULD NOT GO TO KASHMIR AND EXPERIENCE THE FACTS OF THE ENTIRE SITUATION THERE ONLY AND SUGGEST WHAT CENTER OR STATE GOVT. SHOULD DO TO END THIS  HEART BURNING PROBLEM? Insted of calling  National Bands or rallies etc.

What is the use of calling a "National Band" when it is a matter of STATE ?
I think tons of money is wasted in such types of counter productive Bands/rallies etc. also by not allowing peaceful working in the Parliament for many a times WHAT productive or creative help/ suggestion is given to the Nation with such activities ! Will any of such leaders think on these lines ?

In my opinion, opposition is not for creating impediments only on every issue BUT should work like a Good Monitor of the Public in the Parliament for the wrong policies or corruption and weak national policies IF any by the Govt.

No one should be spared by Law for such anti National acts, who so ever he or she may be If proved guilty in the National cause.  Therefore,Let us join Hands with Govt. to bring Peace in the Nation and States and have Good CWG too, well managed and completed with flying colors ! !

Now Pay Your Power Bills At Suvidhaa Outlets

Consumers of the Capital's power distribution companies BRPL and BYPL will now be able to pay their electricity bills at the neighbourhood store. The companies have entered into a separate agreement with Suvidhaa Infoserve enabling customers to pay their bills at any of the 1,200 Suvidhaa stores across Delhi and the National Capital Region.

Under the agreement, BRPL's over 15 lakh customers in South Delhi and West Delhi will have an option to pay their electricity bills through both cash (up to Rs.4,000) or cheque. Over 11 lakh customers of BYPL in East and Central Delhi in the first phase will have the option of paying their bills through cheque and demand draft. At the Suvidhaa centres, customers will have to state the CRN number and make the payment by cheque or cash. "Customers can pay their BRPL/BYPL electricity bills through this service by paying a nominal transaction fee of only Rs.3 per bill to the retailer," said a BSES spokesperson.

Commonwealth Games: Civic agencies also responsible for mess

NEW DELHI: Rs 1,034 crore. That’s the amount of money that the DDA is spending on the Commonwealth Games 2010. Enough, you would think to ensure that the preparations go off without a hitch. 

Yet smooth sailing has been markedly absent in the run-up to the Games for the land agency. Controversies have dogged the DDA, right from the legacy of the Commonwealth Games Village — originally thought of as a hostel for Delhi University but ultimately ending up as a high-end residential destination — to the shocking delay in construction of the flats meant for tourists and the Games technical staff. 

Most projects started late — in 2008. While Siri Fort got held up almost immediately with the local RWA going to court over cutting of trees and the heavy construction near a heritage site — the Siri Fort wall — the Village was delayed due to a payment spat between the developer, Emaar MGF, and the local contractor, Ahluwalia Contracts. Yamuna Sports Complex has been consistently missing deadlines , mostly due to the complexity of the design of this table tennis stadium.
