Heaters to Chokidars - Col. Shivraj

Dear Shri Chairman Ji,

Please refer to the Public Notice to the RWAs. (copy attached for ready reference).

The directions given to the RWAs to provide heaters to the Guards is not tenable. Who will provide the electric connection, heater, payment of bills and other logistics? RWAs cannot handle this.

There are separate Laws for burning the Garbage etc. Authorities must ensure their implementation.

Request that this Public Notice be canceled.

Thanks & regards

WHO says - 1 in 10 medical products in developing countries is substandard or falsified. WHO urges governments to take action.

An estimated 1 in 10 medical products circulating in low- and middle-income countries is either substandard or falsified, according to new research from the World Health Organization (WHO). 

This means that people are taking medicines that fail to treat or prevent disease. Not only is this a waste of money for individuals and health systems that purchase these products, but substandard or falsified medical products can cause serious illness or even death.

“Substandard and falsified medicines particularly affect the most vulnerable communities,” says Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “Imagine a mother who gives up food or other basic needs to pay for her child’s treatment, unaware that the medicines are substandard or falsified, and then that treatment causes her child to die.  This is unacceptable.  Countries have agreed on measures at the global level – it is time to translate them into tangible action.”

But how this water can be saved from leakages as well as thefts?

Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, CM, Delhi

Subject: Water Audit of Delhi Jal Board

Dear Sir,

Please refer the news published in various newspapers, a few days ago:  Delhi has an installed capacity for the supply of 903 million gallons a day, and while there are no definitive figures for water loss during transmission and distribution, it is estimated to be a bit over 45%. The CM sees this as a major concern in the water situation. After taking over as chairman of DJB in September, Kejriwal realized to his shock that a massive amount of water was lost due to leakage, theft and other reasons. 

Sir, Since last many years, we are regularly shouting over the issue but shockingly no one ever cared to look into it seriously.  Thanks for accepting that a massive amount of potable water, is going directly into the drains by way of leakages & into the pockets of many, by way of thefts.

This is truly a very serious issue as out of the installed capacity of DJB, almost 50% of potable water is wasted and it results in the massive shortage of water during summers. 

Water Audit is a very good concept and by using Flow Meters, we will be able to understand that in reality how much water is being wasted.  But the cause of very serious concern is that, how this water can be saved from leakages as well as thefts. 

Sir, as you have come to know about this very serious issue, do you have any plans to develop some mechanism to save this Life Saving potable drinking water, as it will help in serving the masses with sufficient quantity of water during summers?

Sir, Even DJB slogan says very clearly - SAVE WATER SAVE LIFE!

Can we meet you in this regard? 

With best regards,

B S Vohra

President, East Delhi RWAs Joint Front - Federation

What Rajiv Kakria says on the Full Statehood of Delhi

GIVE DELHI FULL STATEHOOD - CONVERT LUTYENS INTO VATICAN CITY  for the HIGH PRIESTS...... leave the rest for us LESSOR MORTALS.

Dear Friends,

You are all aware that the battle for Delhi Statehood is in the final stages in the Supreme Court. The Elected Govt. of Delhi has stated that barring Police, Land and Law all other decisions should be in the hands of the Elected Government of Delhi.

It was with great difficulty Delhi got its elected Vidhan Sabha. Those days there were just two MAIN Parties BJP and Congress and they both wanted full statehood for Delhi.

I think it was Narasimha Rao under whom the Law was passed and had cheekily inserted a Clause ensuring the Centre could have a toehold on the door if need be. In the old times of YOU SCRATCH MY BACK, I SCRATCH YOUR BACK type of politics the system worked barring a few hiccups.

NOW WITH a third party (AAP) and the DAYS OF VINDICTIVE POLITICS, the CHEEKY CLAUSE is being used to good effect ....... making LG the defacto Head and the Final Authority. Needless to say, Delhi has suffered as LG cannot be as accountable to Citizens as an Elected Govt. WHY HAVE AN ELECTED GOVT ???

TRAGEDY is that the very party which wanted Full Statehood for Delhi is now at the Centre and is opposing Full Statehood in the Supreme Court.

Both sides are placing all the Legal arguments and the difficulties in Administration before the Court. THE REAL PROBLEMS THAT DELHI FACES DUE TO LACK OF FULL STATEHOOD HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN TALKED ABOUT ......

LET ME TAKE THEM UP POINTWISE ......

1. LAND & DDA - Every citizen knows that DDA is the reason for 80% of the city's problems. The land being a central subject all the Unauthorized Colonies and Encroachment of Public Land under the custody of DDA led to unplanned Growth and Development.

2. MPD-2021 - DDA under Urban Development Ministry has been entrusted with the framing of the Bye-Laws and deciding the DWELLING DENSITY of the city. Today Delhi is bursting at the seams and the Pea Brained Idea of Mixed Land Use has destroyed the Social Fabric of peaceful Residential Areas that have become Security & Fire Hazards.

3. DDA Housing - today DDA is unable to sell Flats that it calls Homes because they are unlivable.

4. DDA Industrial & Commercial Areas - are devoid of infrastructure, industries do not wish to relocate (Bawana, Narela etc) and the commercial hubs (Nehru Place, Bhikaji Cama Place etc) are dark dingy decaying seedy joints.

5. DDA Land Parcels - if not already encroached are sold out for Malls & Multiplexes (Alaknanda Reliance Mall) while citizens are crying for Play Grounds for Children or recreation facility or other Public Utilities like Bus Depot etc.

6. POLICE- Rape Capital, Snatching, Car Thefts, Road Rage, Gang Wars ...... these are just a few things that form News Headlines ........ with 70% of the Force protecting the HIGH PRIESTS OF LUTYENS, there is little left to secure Delhi.

7. TRAFFIC POLICE - All it does is to devise ways to Extort ....... there is no such thing as Traffic Management. Without understanding the ground reality impractical speed limits are enforced and all they do is stand in few select places issuing challans and impounding Licenses or extracting heavy bribes. There are no solutions to the traffic snarls.

8. EDUCATION - Delhi University being a Central University students from all over India come making it impossible for students from Delhi to get admission. DDA also does not give Land to Schools and Colleges.

9. HEALTH- Fortis / Apollo / Max having obtained concessional land, are indulging in DEH VYAPAR (Dealing in Bodies). Elected Govt will be Accountable for handling Malpractices of Private institutions. Same with Private Schools. 

10. METRO - when it comes to Lutyens Delhi, DMRC is very careful about Noise Pollution, Aesthetics, Security etc and goes Underground. When it comes to other areas it goes elevated without a concern for people living in the vicinity, citing Cost considerations.

11. MULTIPLICITY OF AUTHORITY - Since all laws have to be passed by Urban Development (or Destruction) Ministry ....... nothing changes in DELHI.

THE LIST IS ENDLESS, I HAVE FLAGGED JUST A FEW OF THE PROBLEMS DELHI FACES IN THE ABSENCE OF FULL STATEHOOD.

I have a suggestion ......... GIVE DELHI FULL STATEHOOD - CONVERT LUTYENS INTO VATICAN CITY  for the HIGH PRIESTS...... leave the rest for us LESSOR MORTALS.

Let them have their own Special Police Force, they have enough Land and then some to spare, anyway, they have their own NDMC taking care of their Municipal Services and Power ........ with a minimum of tinkering to the Statehood Clause and adding a Clause for a VATICAN CITY OR SHOULD WE CALL THE NEW CITY...... VANDE MATRAM GRAM ........ Problem Solved. THEY WILL BE OUT OF OUR HAIR and us out of theirs ....... THINK !!!

Warm Regards,

Do you require an Outdoor Air Purifying Equipment absolutely Free?

All of us have seen the worst few days of Smog & Pollution in Delhi. The levels of PM 10, as well as PM 2.5, were many times more than the prescribed norms. These PM 10, as well as PM 2.5, are very harmful to everyone, especially the Children & Elderly persons.

The Director of AIIMS has stated a few days ago, that almost 25000 - 30000 persons are killed every year, by the effects of Pollutants, in Delhi & NCR, though its an estimate as it is the silent killer. The Chicago University has mentioned in one of its studies, that the residents of Delhi & NCR are losing up to 6 - 9 years of their life due to pollution.

Keeping in mind the above facts, a company is now offering an Outdoor Air Purifying Equipment at very nominal cost. In case you don't want to pay anything, you can get it Absolutely Free, i.e. at No Cost to you, as in that case, it will carry an Advertisement of the Sponsoring company. The overall dimensions are height 4.5 Ft & Dia 3 Ft only.

In fact, once the cost is recovered, you will start even making a small earning out of it, without investing anything. The Electricity consumption is very little and you have to keep the Equipment at any crowded place, in any market location, at any religious place, hospital, community center etc, for the benefit of the visitors as well as to cover the Advertisement costs.

If interested, please Email us with your complete contact details, mobile number, as well the Address of the desired location for the feasibility analysis and it will be forwarded to the manufacturers of the equipment for further action. RWAs/MTAs/NGOs may plan for such equipment for their localities/markets for making the GREEN ZONE for the benefit of residents/visitors.

Moody's Rating Scale: India has jumped from Baa3 to Baa2

Moody's Upgrades India Rating After 13 Years, Betting On PM Modi's Reforms, Markets Up

Moody's Investors Service raised India's sovereign rating for the first time since 2004, overlooking a haze of short-term economic uncertainties to bet on the nation's prospects from a raft of policy changes by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The rupee, bonds and stocks rallied after the ratings firm upgraded India to Baa2 from Baa3 and said reforms being pushed through by PM Modi's government will help stabilize rising levels of debt. That's a one-level shift from the lowest investment-grade ranking and puts India in line with the Philippines and Italy.

"This is an overdue correction," PM Modi's Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian told Bloomberg Quint, referring to the upgrade. "This is a recognition of India's macro economic reforms. But it has also to be kept in mind that these are external factors. And the government will pursue its own reform agenda. And those will drive our economic development."

Some investors termed it a surprise given that India recently surrendered its status as the world's fastest-growing major economy amid sweeping policy change. The upgrade could prove to be a big win for ruling party BJP, which has faced increasing attacks about the economic slowdown before key elections in PM Modi's home state Gujarat next month.

"This is a positive surprise to the markets, especially in terms of timing," said Vivek Rajpal, a rates strategist at Nomura Holdings Inc. in Singapore. "One fear that was developing in the market was debt-flow positioning."

The rupee surged as much as 1 percent to 64.67 per dollar in Mumbai while the yield on the 10-year sovereign bond tumbled 11 basis points to 6.96 percent and the benchmark equity index rose 1.25 percent. Markets have welcomed the move, with the Sensex rising over 400 points on Friday morning at 33,520 and the Nifty gaining 120 points.

Ease of Business

PM Modi has pushed through sweeping reforms, with mixed results. Last year's removal from circulation of almost 90 percent of the nation's currency weighed on growth. Expansion in gross domestic product slipped below 6 percent in the April-June quarter, sparking expectations that the government will need to announce a fiscal stimulus package to boost activity.

Other measures -- such as efforts to cut red tape and the imposition of a new consumption tax -- have met with mixed success. The government won praise from ratings firms for a $32 billion program to recapitalize banks that economists say will revive lending and stoke demand on the ground.

The World Bank has acknowledged it's getting easier to do business in India, with Asia's third-largest economy jumping 30 places to rank 100th in the latest ranking released last month. Earlier this week, Pew Research Center said PM Modi remained a popular leader and public confidence in the economy and the overall direction had improved.

Debt Burden

Moody's cited the goods and services tax, which it said will promote productivity by removing barriers to interstate trade, improvements to the monetary policy framework, measures to clean up non-performing loans, and efforts to bring more areas into the formal economy.

"While India's high debt burden remains a constraint on the country's credit profile, Moody's believes that the reforms put in place have reduced the risk of a sharp increase in debt, even in potential downside scenarios," according to the firm's release.
