"An open letter to our H.E. Lt. Governor and Hon’ble Chief Minister, Delhi !

We constituted the Society and carved out the colony named as “Anand Vihar” hoping to live and lead our life with ‘anand hi anand’, but alas we are now languishing in the colony, with problems galore! Consequently, we are totally depressed and disillusioned but continue to survive with the optimism and confidence that the bureaucrat and politician at the helm of affairs will resolve the problems with necessary directions to the officials concerned.
 
We are writing this ‘open letter’, of course, after exhausting all the official channels, right from the bottom to the top or vice versa! We are inking it with a last straw of hope, with built-in dismay. Notwithstanding, we hope to achieve the best!
 
To save your precious time and energy, we hereby express our woes and difficulties being faced by us in ‘one liners’ with genuine expectations and sanguine hope that these will receive your or your officials’ working with and for you, attention who will take up the matters with govt. agencies/officials concerned at the helm of affairs! For convenience and to facilitate your exercise, we give them below, department-wise, too! We have been struggling with the below-mentioned problems for the last two years and would like to reiterate at the fag end of the current year, so that when the new year (2012) dawns, the residents of Anand Vihar will see significant and appreciable improvements to derive ‘anand hi anand’, while living in Anand Vihar colony, the biggest Cooperative Housing Society in East Delhi. founded in 1975 in an area of 90 acres of land, initially envisaged as a total ‘plotted’ colony (with 903 independent plots), but now growing vertically and thus becoming a ‘flatted’ colony, with a population nearing 10,000!
 
1. M.C.D.        – Recarpetting of main and ‘inner roads’ of the colony which are in a very bad shape.  
Relaying and repairing of ‘service lanes’.

                        - Mechanical cleaning of sewerage.
3. D.D.A.         - Expedite providing a linkage road (80’) from Karkarduma Junction to Sreshta

- Construction of pucca road from the DDA Community Centre (opp. Yamuna Sports Complex) to Anand Vihar railway terminal.
- Expedite construction of Community Hall and handing over the same to the Society for its maintenance by the Society.(RWA).
 
4. Police         -  Ensure safety and security of the residents by various means.

  1. "A Request Letter to our H.E. Lt. Governor and Hon’ble Chief Minister, Delhi !

    We constituted the Society and carved out the colony named as “Shastri Park Exten Part-1, Block-Uttarakhand, Burari, Delhi-84” hoping to live and lead our life with hassle free, but unfortunately, we are now suffering in the colony, with severe and acute problems. Now, we are totally depressed and disillusioned but continue to survive with the optimism and confidence that the bureaucrat and politician at the helm of affairs will resolve the problems with necessary directions to the officials concerned.

    We are writing this ‘open letter’, of course, after exhausting all the official channels, right from the bottom to the top or vice versa! We are inking it with a last straw of hope, with built-in dismay. Notwithstanding, we hope to achieve the best!

    To save your precious time and energy, we hereby express our miseries and difficulties being faced by us in ‘one liners’ with genuine expectations and sanguine hope that these will receive your or your officials’ working with and for you, attention who will take up the matters with govt. agencies/officials concerned at the helm of affairs! For convenience and to facilitate your exercise, we give them below, department-wise, too! We have been struggling with the below-mentioned problems for the last 12- 15 years and would like to reiterate at the fag end of the current year, so that when the new year (2012) dawns, the residents of “Uttarakhand Colony part -1” will see significant and appreciable improvements to derive a standard life, while living in Uttarakhand colony, with a population more than 10,000. The main thrust areas where there is need to act on war footing:

    1. 5 years have been passed, streets particularly in Block A of Uttarakhand Colony, Part-1,demolished on the pretext that very next week all streets would be built with RCC. But till date (after 5 years), still a single brick not laid. Till date no work is performed. People are facing acute problems in coming out and entering in their house. Several time complaints made to the concerned Councilor, MLA and MP level, but futile.
    2. Now, despite of sanctioning of tender of Rs. 4.16 crores for streets,etc, from Flood Deptt. & Rs. 1.95 crores from Jal Board, People of Uttarakhand Colony Part-1, are waiting to start the work. But, it seems that it will not happen and again we will be left on the lurch of fate.

    3. Police - Ensure safety and security of the residents by various means.
    4. Patrolling the colony at least twice in the night.
