LOKEPAL BILL AND THE COMMON MAN

Lot of hype and expectations are hoped to be met through this bill. In a few days it may become law and result into great rejoicings. BUT

Existing laws are atleast sufficient to tackle small small problems which as residents of Madhuvan new delhi 110092 we brought to to the notice of joint commissioner police when he along with team of officers along with sho of area had interaction with us. Some of the salient points made are listed below for your kind information as most of our areas suffer from similar problems.

1. I offered rs 1,000/ to any body who could walk along madhuvan side foot path from shakapur T point to narula market preet vihar. This stretch is occupied by unauthorised dhabas, taxi stands(WHO SEND PVT VEHICLES AS TAXIS). EVEN area near sho police station preet vihar is surrounded by illegal buses and tempos parked in area meant for cars and two wheelers.

2. Our madhuvan colony was established by IAS OFFICERS, HIGH COUR AND SUPREME COURT JUSTICES, BESIDES LT.GOVERNOR WHO WAS RETIRED POLICE OFFICERS. I AM ASHAMED THAT OUR SOCIETY OCCUPIED 10 FT STRIP OF DDA NH PARK which was confirmed by MCD BUT STATED ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY DDA. THIS ILLEGALITY OCCURED IN 1995.

When i came to know this i apprised MC PLUS PRESIDENT OF SOCIETY but they did vacate the strip. Un believable as it may seeem MCD DID NOT SANCTION BUILDING PLANS OF OUR CC AND HENCE IT CAN BE TERMED AS ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION.

I am only making a point that there is no dearth of laws which cannot solve our day to day problems but there has to be will to act. There was a news that councillors of BJP AND MCD HAVE BEEN DEMANDING BRIBE TO CONDONE ILLEGALCONSTRUCTIONS.

LALITA PARK ILLEGALLY BUILT BUILDING FLOUTED ALL NORMS AND RESULTED INTO DEATH OF 70 PERSONS. WHERE WERE INSPECTING AUTHORITIES.

We as rwas and societies must voice our concern and make efforts that corrupt persons get their just dessert.
