Dear Mr. Vohra,
It is not surprising! However, Anand Vihar - means the entire east Delhi - has hit the headlines for something unwanted and undesirable! You know fully well that 1/3rd of Delhi's population is from our East Delhi. Is it not yet an another record! The number of vehicles and industries are ever-increasing in size and dimensions extensively. Will they not create all the pollution? Parking of vehicles has become the biggest problem, more than anything else, leading to skirmishes, manhandling and even physical combat with weapons culminating sometime in death etc. We have lost our balance, consciousness, friendliness and become most selfish and self-centered throwing all our ethos, culture, tolerance etc. we learnt over a long period of time from scriptures etc. Our children have become more intolerant and indisciplined and even their parents cannot control or even reprimand! Unless we reduce the number of vehicles drastically and use public transport extensively, the present piquant situation, which we made, cannot be overcome by any legislation or force!
With regards,
TK Balu/Anand Vihar
