Sir/Madam,

We would like to inform you that RWA meeting of residents of Narmada block, Pocket D6 Vasant Kunj, was held at 11 AM on 12th May 2013 and several issues were discussed which need DDA’s attentionand resolution.

We would like to bring to your notice that even after a long time of paying a heavy amount for maintenance and taking possession of the flats, we are still lacking the basic necessities required to make the area livable.  Here is a point-wise prioritized list of the issues which we would like to you to resolve as soon as possible…

1.     We would like to know the plan on finishing the remaining DDA work, such as flat work, common areas, stairs, lifts, cleaning, street lights, etc.
2.     Most of the lifts in this block are still not operational and in many of them the work has not even started. We would like to know the exact plan on this.
3.     There is huge amount of debris lying in all the common areas which needs to be cleaned.
4.     There is no clarity on how to secure this area and lots of thefts are taking place. We need security guards in sufficient number to monitor the area and restrict access.
5.     The labor of DDA contractor (Mehta Associates, etc..) is still living in this area and we don’t know when they would vacate the premises.
6.     There is no clarity on the timing of water supply. We would also like to know DDA’s plan on starting the Sonia Vihar or other water source or it will continue to be ground water.
7.     Cleaning and covering of sewage and drainage system is to be completed.
8.     We would like to put CCTV cameras in the premises and want to know how can we go forward.
9.     The boundary wall covering Narmada & Saraswati is broken at a couple of places which has made the area very insecure. When would that be repaired?
10.                     We would like to know the schedule and plan for watering the existing plants and planting new plants in the society.
11.                     We would like to get the planning map of Narmada
12.                     We would like to know the cleaning and covering of overhead water tanks in all the towers.
13.                     We would like to know the plan & schedule on allocating the underground parking space.
14.                     The cleaning and covering of sewage and drainage of basement, which is stinking and making the whole foundation insecure.
15.                     We would like to know the plan on making the shopping complex in the area operational.
16.                     We would like to know the procedure of getting the maintenance funds from DDA to RWA and what all be covered for utilizing this fund.

Delhi's power regulator favours CAG audit of private discoms

NEW DELHI: Two days after announcing a five per cent hike in power tariff, Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission(DERC) on Sunday said there should be a thorough scrutiny of finances of all three private power distribution companies by Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).

Chairman of the city's power regulator P D Sudhakar said scrutiny of the accounts of the discoms by the CAG will help knowing the actual financial position of the private companies.

"There should be a CAG audit of the accounts of all the private power distribution companies. We have already sent a recommendation to the Delhi government for it," DERC chairman P D Sudhakar told PTI.

The BJP and Aam Admi Party (AAP) have been demanding CAG audit of finances of the discoms, alleging huge financial irregularities by them. However, the discoms are strongly opposed to auditing of their accounts by CAG.

"We finalised the tariff structure after examining their financial positions. But still I would recommend a CAG audit as it will be very different from the auditing we carry out," the DERC chairman said.

The BJP has been seeking CAG audit into finances of discoms referring to a DERC proposal in May 2010 to cut the tariff by around 25 per cent citing their healthy financial position. The Delhi Government had restrained the regulator from going ahead with the tariff order.

NGO complains against discom


NEW DELHI An NGO has moved DERC against the discom BSES for distributing pamphlets along with power bills to show that the tariff in Delhi is much less compared to other metros. United Residents Joint Association (URJA) wants action against the discom, claiming that the move was aimed at influencing consumers before tariff determination. It cited a 2010 order by the regulatory body where BRPL and BYPL, both under BSES, were sent show-cause notices for speaking on tariff before it was fixed. 


"Discoms are not allowed to issue pamphlets or make statements on tariff once they have submitted their annual petitions and their scrutiny has begun. Any such move is viewed as an attempt to influence the commission or consumers," said Amit Aggarwal, a senior member of URJA.

How do Radiations from Mobile Phones, Computers and other Wi-Fi Devices harm us?

Radiations from Mobile Phones, Computers and other Wi-Fi devices have non-ionizing & non-thermal effects and carry a constant signal which interferes with the communication system between cells in the body of animals and human beings. This signal is characterized as a warning message, just as if it was exposed to a real threat and potential damage due to toxic chemicals, bacterial attacks, etc.

A defense response is triggered at the biological level when subjected to such signals. The body is under a permanent state of red alert in the body, which suppresses the production of the some of the most important repair enzymes and stress proteins.

Being subjected to Microwave radiations emitted from Mobile Phones, Computers and other Wi-Fi devices for long periods can exhaust the cell’s defense system, lower the body’s immunity and make it vulnerable to various diseases.

Power cables burnt like hot coal !

RWABhagidari News : Severe power outages were faced by the residents of F Block in Krishna nagar after the heaviest rains lashed the city. Moisture seeped, somewhere, into the underground power cables or ones connecting the transformer opposite the BSES office. This resulted into the bursting of the Transformer at around 4 am & the live wires connecting various poles burnt like hot coal. There was panic all around & fire brigade was called by the residents. Later the transformer was replaced by BSES but the replacing of burnt wires took much longer. Power was restored in the area by around 8 pm after the outages of upto 20 hours.

Delhi rent act 1995

I am greatly shocked to learn that the union cabinet has decided to repeal the Delhi rent act 1995 , which was passed by the parliament and had received the consent of our honourable president 

But some politicians and trader associations having vested interests have forced the union cabinet to take this illegal decision 

I therefore request you to notify the drc act 1995 at the earliest and stop harassing the AAM ADMI of NCT of DELHI.

Willingness to do something for the betterment of people ?


Totally agreed from your statement. Actually, the government should show willingness to do something for the betterment of people rather than only announcing things and not adhere with it.

Works to be done under My Delhi I Care Fund !


We are member of Bhagidari. Our parking lot accommodating about 25-30 cars is in bad shape as it could not be repaired due to lack of funds since it was allotted by DDA to us. We are also being a corner plot we have long boundary wall which is cracking and can fall any day. This needs urgent repairs. The need for funds can be assessed by your expert team of Engineers. Our total strength is only 60 residends and our collection per resident is rs 10,000/= per annum. This  only helps in providing security, mali and day to day repairs in colony. Our RWA is known as MOUNT KAILASH RESIDENT (FLAT 61-120)ASSOCIATION, EAST OF KAILASH, NEW DELHI-110065


We shall be great full to you if you help us in getting these repairs can be financed through bhagidari funds.  



prakash narayan 

Plz write a letter to the Bhagidari cell in the Office of your DC Revenue. They have a budget of Rs 5 Crores for each Dist. for RWAs under the "My Delhi I Care Fund". The works you mentioned above are most likely to be covered under that.

No supply from Munak Canal, Delhi eyes irrigation water to quench thirst

With the dispute over water from the Munak Canal having a reached a stalemate, Delhi is now looking to use irrigation water it receives from the Yamuna for drinking.
Since water shortage could prove damning for the government in an election year, Delhi's water utility, the Delhi Jal Board, is planning to push for the release of 51 cusecs of its "legitimate" share for irrigation water through Haryana.
"This 51 cusecs (25 million gallons a day) has nothing to do with the Munak Canal share. It is Delhi's legitimate share that has been allocated for irrigation. Since irrigation needs of the city have gone down significantly, we want Haryana to give us that water in bulk for us to use it the way we want," a senior DJB official said.
DJB's chief executive officer Debashree Mukherjee has been meeting MLAs from the suburbs, especially Bawana, who clarified that irrigation water released through Haryana was occasional. Senior officials maintained that the neighbouring state had refused to share details of the irrigation booking despite repeated requests.
If Delhi secures additional 51 cusecs from Haryana in bulk, it will be able to run at least one of its three water treatment plants that are lying vacant for want of raw water and the Munak Canal issue.
"We will take this issue up with the Upper Yamuna River Board and the Central Water Commission on a priority basis. If we get 51 cusecs of water, we will be able to operate the 20 MGD Bawana water treatment plant," Mukherjee told Newsline.

Tall promises are made but never fulfilled ?



I fully endorse the views expressed herein. It is true at the public forum tall promises are made but never fulfilled. It has become a core custom will politicians across the board who hold positions! I could tell from our experience that all mails sent to Hon'ble LG or Hon'ble CM are never attended to inspite promises made, assurances given and publicity made in media etc. With the technological innovations made and adopted by the Govt. with a lot of fanfare etc. nothing tangible has been done. As a result all problems being faced by the residents continue to plague them with no solutions. Take anything under their umbrella - whether inflated water bills, dogs and monkeys menace, cleaning of storm water drains or sewerage, carpetting of roads, provision of uninterrupted electricity, maintenance of parks, removal of encroachments, demolition of disused overhead water tanks over a few decades, intensive patrolling of colonies by Police, payment of property tax and to get mutaion etc. done etc. etc. You could go on reporting countless problems but not attended to over months and years! We could never imagine what is the problem in attending to public grievances reported through various channels. Even appointments are not given by the officials concerned and when we finally go to meet them at the appointed time, a cool message is left behind stating that they have gone for a meeting, always easy to take the names of their bosses or the Hon'ble CM OR LG!! Nothing moves without pleading with the officials concerned numberless time and greasing their palms and pleading the genuine cases for redressal! Are we all living, working, law-abiding and worshiping our own lords who are expected to serve/help us? The latest issue of India Today reveal everything how our Corrupt Republic functions! Is it not a shame on our part for which everyone is responsible! Of course, we have no option but to prostrate ourselves before the ALMIGHTY to save us and save our country from the clutches of these Lords!

RSTV : Sarokar : Discussion on Supreme court ruling : B S Vohra




Promises are never fulfilled ?

Govt. is busy in conducting various 'Samaybadh Jagrukta Divis' under Bhagidari commitment of the Govt.  But it is observed that the promises are never fulfilled e.g the same Shivir was conducted at Talkatora Stadium on 7.7.2013, with an assurance that the CM or the CM Office concerned department will reply to the grievances filed within seven days, but no action is taken till today.  CM must ensure the promises made are fulfilled if not possible, then  there is no use wasting public money like this.

May I ask the reason from Delhi Traffic Police ?

We have made dozens of complaints to DTP to look into the Traffic Jam position in Krishna nagar, Lal quarter, Jheel, areas. Many a time we got visits from ACP or TI in the earlier months to look into our problems. Many a times we uploaded vids of real traffic jams on the DTP site to exhibit the gravity of situation. Many a times we raised the issue at the Bhagidari meets at the DC office monthly meetings. But no action is ever taken & we were told that the staff crunch is the reason. We were told that almost 50% of the staff has to go to the VIP duty everyday. We asked for tow away vehicles to ease the traffic jams in the area but DTP could not offer us even a single round even in months as they said they have to maintain the Vikas Marg.

But strange the same DTP has enough staff to tow away the vehicles from the areas where there is no traffic jam, where the parked vehicle is not hurting anyone. Sometime ago I went to deposit the school fee of my kid at GHPS hargobind enclave & on coming back found my car towed away. Today I parked my car for few minutes to take away some papers from typist near the DC office & again my car was towed away. These are the areas where there is no rush, no traffic jam and nothing of that sort.

Strange the areas mentioned above don’t have the NO PARKING Sign boards & when I asked the DTP personal, his answer was that there is not even the PARKING Board.

IndiBloggers meet, that changed smelly to smiley !



Though I get regular messages from indiblogger, I never took much interest as first of all I don’t like to go alone n secondly, can’t really adjust in the ho halla that’s expected  in such kind of meets. 

REASON ? 

I am a different type of person. A Blogger but with a social cause. Wanna serve the society. Wanna chat n discuss about our meets with DERC so that the power tariff could come down in Delhi. Wanna chat n discuss about the DJB, about dirty water being supplied, about waterloging in the city, potholes, sanitation, power outages, RWAs, FDI, inflation, politicians etc. etc. & ofcourse about our RTIs on various issues and you can find me on various TV channels on various social issues.



Donno how, i decided to visit the Ambipur meet, filled the participation forms n reached the spot alongwith Sonia - my wife who is also a very active Blogger with our SikhsIndia Blog. 

The meet started with Nihal and OMG what was that ? All the bloggers were just laughing, banging their heads….OMG.....it looked like a MAD MAD MAD House or a mad mad mad world.



But very soon I realized that it was not a mad house instead a fun filled event where youngsters had ample opportunities to express. It was not just a promotional event of P&G for Ambi Pur, instead it offered us to meet a wide variety of bloggers from the city as well NCR region with different causes, interests, technicalities & so on. They were from different age groups, from the mere 13 years old to the grown ups & matures, all there, under the single roof, laughing, shouting, enjoying the fun filled event.






All the Bloggers actively participated in various activities & expressed themselves in the best possible manner. And lastly the skits, though promotional in nature, again offered ample opportunities to the audience. They were divided in 8 teams & given few minutes to not only to make a promotional skit but also to perform it on the stage. Great fun indeed ! All the teams performed well, with their own themes, their own stories, generated there itself, in few minutes with all the born n natural actors. Good job ! Great efforts ! I just sprayed AMBI PUR to convert the smelly ones into smiley ones.




And finally, i had to change my opinion, atleast about the indiblogger meets. Instead of mere Ho Halla, it was a great experience, a great opportunity to meet all lot of friends from various cultures, different fields, different age groups but with one thing in common. Yeah, we all were INDIBLOGGERS.





Definitely three cheers for the entire indiblogger team, that was quite friendly and thanks from my wife to all there as she really enjoyed a lot. Thanks to Ambipur as it changed the smelly to smiley in a short span. 

And one thing is sure that now onwards i would like to attend all the indiblogger meets in Delhi & around (subject to my time restraints), and in case i could not reach the spot due to my other social activities, my wife will definitely be there, in the indiblogger meets as a co blogger. In that case, please don't forget to meet me at the link below : http://www.youtube.com/user/RWABhagidari/videos




RWAs views on the announcement made by CM :

I would like to clarify regarding the doubts created by some RWAs regarding the authenticity of one lakh to be given to RWAs.  In the Bhagidari meet at Talkatora Stadium on 7.7.2013 the CM announced this amount for the betterment of the working of the RWAs.  I would request to kindly go forward and send your estimate for sanction.  Thereafter we can comment whether it is false or true.  Accordingly we could clear our doubts and trust the statement of the CM.
