Problems all over BUT none to listen !

Dear Mr. Vohra ji,

You have befittingly summed up all our problems being faced by us from A to Z - i.e. air(polluted) to Z (with stray dogs and monkeys etc.). EDMC/Police/Transport authorities/DJB/BYPL  etc. care-less to the public woes unless you grease their palms! How can you think of, even dream of abolishing corruption? Let me quote an instance - you are aware that there is a complete ban on digging the ground for fixing submersible pump to get ground water all over Delhi but if you pay a sumptuous amount, say to the extent of Rs.50,000/- (on negotiation you could bring it down to Rs.20,000 to Rs.25,000) to the Police authorities you could do it! Can it happen at any other place other than Delhi? In other words you could do and undo anything on payment of a demanded amount by the babus concerned in any department! How the large number of builders and contractors are undertaking massive construction without (underground) water?  People are using the underground water for washing cars, bathing in public but not available to water the parks etc. Appointed mallies never visit the park for watering, cleaning or pruning the areas. Water bills (which are smaller to the size of 2" x 8") are thrown at the doors of the residents by the Bill Clerks to be carried away by wind and later the DJB penalizes you for not making timely payment of bills. Why can't the DJB ensure bigger size of the bills like BYPL/IGL/MTNL etc. and hand them over to the residents by knocking at their doors or sent by couriers! Even the bills are not readable unless you use magnifying glass! You cannot get the encroachments/kitchen gardens removed by the MCD to facilitate parking of vehicles. You can't get the MTNL landlines rectified unless and until you constantly and consistently complain wasting your time and energy and thereby losing your patience too! You can't get the sewer and storm water drains cleaned unless the MCD takes mercy on you and you have to pay the people concerned - chaipani paise etc. You will permit creation of hospitals, health clinics, schools, dispensaries, markets etc. without sufficient parking space creating traffic jam on the roads and later blame the authorities concerned time and again but Police taking their 'mamool' regularly. Time is not far off when you may have to pay to the Post office staff some extra money to get a postcard, cover or money order forms etc. on payment of due amount! This is India - Maha Bharat! When will we overcome all these and more? Time alone will tell! We the people create and commit all crimes and blame each other! When we will wake up to do upright service to the people without favour or money? Will the DAY come?
