Colony Gates / MCD

I had attended this meeting in Town Hall Ch.Chowk, as Secretary RAW Pocket-3,Mayur Vihar-1, Mr. O.P. Sehgal President FedrationMayurVihar-1 was also present in this meeting. The Presentation was elaborated by the Ch. Engineer MCD. During open discussion it was pointed out that the norms for the security Gates were too general and shall not fit for every place and every entry-Exit point. The only common point which needs the attention is that :-

1) Gates must be maned round the clock.

2) The Height and width of the Gates must not block the entry of Fire tenders, Ambulance, etc. at the time of emergency during day and night.

3) If entry gate Exit gates are available the above system be strictlyfollowed. One gates should be used at Night from 10.00PM to 6.0 AM for the security of the residents.

4) If only one entry & Exit gate is available opening and closing the gates must have security guards ( minimum 2 round the clock.)

5) If the RAW is following the above norms properly than WHY & HOW RAW should be accountable for any mishaps ?

It is observied that many a times, mostly at nights, some drunk car drivers or Trucks with building matrials or Delivery vans/ trucks of Tent suppliers force their entry late at night from the gate which is closed ! where as the other gate is open ?

BUT these persons are seen fighting and abusing the duty Gaurds to get OPEN the Closed gates only as per their desires ? During marriges, even in nearby place, it has become a show off to park cars in side of the gates at will and open drinking starts ? The Gaurds dare to stop this at the gates!

RAW has NO powers to check this and the Police/MCD is not to be seen there. Who has bell this cat ?

Where are the powers with the RAW to set right such un lawful activities by the residents or out siders ? The only action taken by the RAW is to call Police help, which we all know how fast is this task to get police help ?

Therefore, it is my humble suggestion to the authorities to form watch & Ward commitees from the recomandations of the Residents of that RWA to have the powers to directly co-ordinate with Area Police, MCD, DJB, Power supply etc.officials MLA's or Muncipal Councelors to help the Residents as well as Govt. agencies to have peace, security and proper community services to all.

MCD gets tough on colony advertisements

Residents living in society flats in the national Capital would soon have to shell out a heavy fine if companies that advertise their brand or products on the society's entrance boards do not pay a charge to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

In an attempt to extract advertisement tax from companies which advertise their brand's name on the welcome boards at the entrance of these residential blocks, the MCD is conducting a survey to ascertain the exact number of societies in Delhi with advertiser sponsored welcome boards.

"All the apartments in the capital have these welcome boards and they are sponsored by the advertisers who pitch their products on them. They need to pay us for advertising their brand otherwise we will take strict action against the companies and the society's president as well," said B N Singh, director of the advertisement department in the MCD.

There are approximately 2,000 societies in Delhi. According to him, notices to advertisers are already in the process of being sent for the payment of advertisement tax. MCD officials have decided to fix the charges for the boards. "The advertisers will have to pay us Rs 100 for one square metre per month. According to our estimates, the normal welcome board being displayed comes to around 10 square metre," Singh added.

This way, for a 10- metre board size, an advertiser has to pay Rs 1,000 per month to the civic agency. According to Section 143 of the Delhi Municipal Council (DMC) Act, the MCD's permission is mandatory for advertising of any form."Take for instance: so and so company welcomes you to XYZ Enclave. For the people living there, it's a free board as the advertisers sponsor the board and gets it placed on the societies' entrance gates.

Thousands of people get to see it. If this is not advertisement, then what is?" Singh asked.
