We are not against the Trading community of Delhi & we too expect some relief for them at the earliest possible so that a permanent solution could stop the tensions & troubles of Sealing & Conversion charges in our City.
But,
we just could not understand the proposed modifications as mentioned in the DDA's Advertisement, as below:
1.
15.12.3(vii): Commercial activity in the basement on such STREETS shall be permitted, subject to…..
Modified into
Commercial activity in the basement on such STREETS/AREAS shall be permitted, subject to…
What does it mean?
Does it mean that now onwards, after the proposed modifications, the commercial activities will be allowed in the entire areas instead of any specific streets?
Does it mean that these modifications will enhance the commercialization, even to the inner core of localities?
Does it mean that now onwards, the residents will have to face all kind of commercial activities, Loading, Unloading, Traffic jams, Parking issues, in the entire areas, instead of any specific streets?
If yes, do they have the infrastructure for that? In the present scenario, our infrastructure is not compatible even with the existing status of commercialization of Delhi. How can they go for the enhancement of commercialization without any suitable & compatible support from the infrastructure?
2.
5.6.3: Additional FAR shall be permitted on payment of additional FAR charges, …..
What does it mean?
Does it mean, that in case Authorities get more & more money, they won’t have any objections to the FAR?
3.
5.6.6: In case, there is no parking facility, available in the vicinity, concerned local body MAY PREPARE appropriate model …..
What does it mean?
MAY PREPARE?
In Case there is no Parking Facility?
But where is the Parking Facility in Delhi?
Even on the roads, where Local bodies are charging Conversion plus One-time parking charges, there is no space for parking anywhere?
Can't they pre-decide such things at least for the Critical areas, to avoid the chaos?
4.
And lastly, a time of only 3 days has been given, including a Saturday & a Sunday. We don’t have the time to go through the entire set of documents & we are responding to what is visible in your advertisement.
It's just Strange & Shocking that DDA has not invited me to the Public hearing. Mine was the FIRST EMail to the Commissioner Cum Secretary, DDA, and I shared his Email id to the RWAs of Delhi. I sent my Email on 5th itself. Names of all those who sent after me are there in the DDA's lists, BUT MY NAME IS MISSING ON BOTH THE DAYS. So many names have been repeated by DDA more than two times, BUT MY NAME IS MISSING ON BOTH THE DAYS.
Yes I know, my questions were very SHARP & TEASING, and probably that is the reason that MY NAME IS MISSING ON BOTH THE DAYS. But I will continue my efforts for my city as I Love my Delhi.
