cleanliness of the city

Comments of members of EDRWAsJF, RWABhagidari blog as well subscribers of the blog are being awaited.

dear shri vohra,

i have been a resident of delhi for the past 40 years and compared what used to be a beautiful city, i am shocked at the present state of the city. every one is talking about making the place livable but no one is ready to actually do anything and in turn they expect the government to do.

i run a NGO and wish to do our bit for the city. as you know, there used to be many guide maps at every colony gate and it was easy to go to any address you want easily without consulting anyone. today these guide maps are pasted with ad handouts, posters of politicians, the lot. this is the same case with public information boards like road names, important boards etc.

we plan to clean up all the public spaces. this email is basically to get your opinion on what we propose to do, as without community approval, we will be sitting ducks when interested parties will object to what we do.

there is a law to prevent defacement of public places which neither the civic authorities use nor the police, resulting in dirty street signs defaced by hooligans. we also plan to bring the offenders to book by filing trespass cases on your behalf under the necessary provisions of the law.

if our proposal comes through, we will seek your cooperation in identifying the spots to clear in each area.

with best regards
