इस कदर मुश्किल हुआ, जीना मेरे शहर मे, साँस के हर घूँट मे बस, जहर निगलना पड़ता है

इस कदर मुश्किल हुआ, जीना मेरे शहर मे,
साँस के हर घूँट मे बस, जहर निगलना पड़ता है
Dear Sir,
This is what we breathed last evening in Delhi. PM2.5 at 1058 instead of the maximum allowed 60 & PM10 at 1418, instead of the maximum allowed 100. PM2.5 was at 18 times while PM10 was at 14 times, while it is not yet Diwali:
And this is not the first time it happened here with us. It has become a routine for the last many years. We keep on Emailing, Tweeting to Authorities, but no one responds. We keep on waiting for the CHANGE, but it never comes, and this was the Status of Pollution in Delhi & around in the year 2019, as below:
This was the status of Delhi in November 2018, while on Diwali Day PM 10 Touched 4659, i.e. 47 Times of the Maximum allowed. And PM2.5 touched 3201, i.e. 53 times of the maximum allowed:
If not mistaken, this was the HT news in September 2017 - Breath Delhi Air, Die Early, which clearly showed the pollution status of our city, Delhi, The National Capital of India:
This one of my video on Air Pollution in November 2017 was widely shared by Yahoo News, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Movies, Daily Motion, Telegraph, etc., worldwide exhibiting a severe medical emergency in Delhi:
The Notification Dated 12th January 2017, about Delhi, in the Gazette of India, on Page number 7/24 clearly said,”As air quality analysis shows that most of the days during winter, between October 15 and February 15, fall in the AQI categories of Very Poor and Severe, it is appropriate to implement the measures that have been proposed for the AQI categories of Severe and Very Poor all through the winter, to prevent the occurrence of severe or emergency situations”.
Chicago University says that the residents of Delhi & NCR are losing up to 6 to 9 years of their life due to Pollution. CSE says that every 3rd child in Delhi has a lung problem. UNICEF says that pollution is having a very bad impact on the brains of our children.
We tried our best to raise the issue regularly on every platform, be it Newspapers, TV Channels, or the Social Media, i.e. via our Facebook, Youtube, Twitter & Blog. We had even demanded a special fund from the Finance Minister of India for Delhi to control the pollution - B S Vohra, Environment Activist
We had even organized a meet of RWAs to discuss the Air Pollution issues in Delhi with Ms Anumita Roy Choudhury. A large number of RWAs & Experts participated in this meet along with Local Member of Parliament:
We keep on filing RTIs on the issues concerning the masses of our city, and one of our RTI was published in Hindustan Times on the Air Pollution issues, long ago in 2013 - 14, when we had organized several Lung Check-up camps also along with CIPLA:
The situation has worsened even further. It has become much more difficult to breathe in this severely polluted air and that too amidst the fear of deadly coronavirus. Just can not understand, why no stringent measures are taken by the authorities & why the residents have to breathe in the deadly air, year after year, for the last many years. Can only say:
इस कदर मुश्किल हुआ, जीना मेरे शहर मे,
साँस के हर घूँट मे बस, जहर निगलना पड़ता है!
May we request you to please look into it very seriously & take the stringent measures to SAVE DELHI from Air Pollution.
Warm regards,

CM Saab - दिल्ली को कोरोना से बचाने के लिए कुछ तो करो ना !
9th November 2020
Mr. Arvind Kejriwal,
CM, Delhi
Subject: Spread of Coronavirus in Delhi - Certain restrictions must be imposed immediately.
Dear Sir,
We are regularly raising the issue that Why your Government has not yet launched any Campaign to ask people to Wear A Mask & to maintain Social Distancing. It's the Festival season & in every local or central Market, you won't find any Social Distancing anywhere. People are just trying to skip even a basic mask which has resulted in 7,745 new cases yesterday.
It's just because people don't understand what a COVID is, what are the Post Covid complications & the status of Long Covid. We are sorry to say that your Government has not yet tried to educate the masses on these very important issues. On the other hand, we at RWA Bhagidari are doing regular Webinars with reputed Doctors to educate the masses on all such issues concerning the Pandemic.
Corona is spreading in Delhi at a very fast rate and in the last 8 days itself, Delhi has got over 50K new cases, 478 Deaths & 823 New Containment Zones. In spite of our repeated requests, you have not yet taken any measures to check & control the flow of people in the markets, which may prove disastrous in the coming days.
Please take it very seriously & impose certain restrictions with immediate effect to save Delhi from Coronavirus, else the situation may soon go out of hands.
Best regards,

CAN WE EXPECT A WAR AGAINST CORONA ATLEAST NOW?
6th November 2020
Dear Mr. Arvind Kejriwal,
Surprisingly, all of your efforts & campaigns are waging a war against Dengue, while the city is actually facing the Coronavirus Pandemic. While you are busy with your Ten Minutes & Ten Weeks action plan, Delhi faced 258 deaths & 30,000 new cases of Corona in just 5 days of November. While your Advertisement campaigns announced no deaths due to Dengue, they never uttered even a word over the 6,769 deaths due to COVID19 in the last few months.
Shockingly, while all the markets are still open as usual with a huge festival rush, instead of imposing any checks & restrictions to combat the Coronavirus, your Health Minister came with the data of deaths in different states as if the Deaths target of Delhi is not yet achieved.
Even the Hon'ble HC showed its concern by saying that Delhi may soon become the CORONA CAPITAL of INDIA, but seems, you are still trying hard not to let it become the Dengue Capital of India.
No doubt revival of the Economy is the prime concern of every Government during such a stage, but a balanced approach is expected by the residents so that precious lives could also be saved along with Economic activities. We raised our concern from day one, while you opened the Liquor vends, the markets, the weekly bazaars, public transport, Cinema halls, one after another.
We tried our best to meet you to show our worries, but failed to get an invite and got no response to our invite for a virtual chat. We expected restrictions viewing the overall surge of Pandemic in the City, but you still preferred relaxations by allowing 200 persons for marriages & the full bus load, as probably, you saved the city from Dengue & the Coronavirus Pandemic was not at all a cause of concern for you.
Sad & Shocking, the city got 2,942 New Containment Zones in the month of October, showing the exact surge of COVID crisis in the city, you just ignored to evaluate the criticalities of the situation due to your other engagements, and hence no measures were taken to save the city from Corona.
The National Capital is now exactly in the grip of Coronavirus with new cases visible allover, and even the containment zones can easily be located at almost every corner.
CAN WE EXPECT A WAR AGAINST CORONA ATLEAST NOW?
CAN WE EXPECT THAT YOU WON'T LET DELHI BECOME THE CORONA CAPITAL OF INDIA?
On behalf of the worried residents & RWAs of the city.
With best regards,

Invitation for a Virtual Meet with RWAs on the Coronavirus issues
Respected LG Saab, Respected CM Saab,
We the RWAs of Delhi are a worried lot over the surge in coronavirus cases in Delhi. Yesterday we got a record 6725 cases in a day & Delhi may touch 15K cases in the coming days, as said by Dr. V K Paul.
In October, we got over one Lakh case in Delhi, with 1150 deaths & 2942 New Containment zones. The situation is worsening while people are not following any social distancing in this Festival season. Even the masks are missing.
We are so worried about the issue, that we have already done 6 Live Chats on almost every aspect concerning Coronavirus. Now we are looking towards you, for some restrictions to be imposed with immediate effect, else the situation may go out of hand.
Therefore, we hereby invite you for a VIRTUAL ONLINE MEET with the RWA representatives to discuss the criticalities emerging out of this Surge in Delhi, in our RWA BHAGIDARI LIVE CHAT on our RWA Bhagidari FaceBook Profile.
Please confirm the Date & Timings for the chat, as per your availability, at the earliest possible so that the Chat Link could be shared. It can be a Joint or a Separate chat as per the suitability of both LG Saab & CM Saab.
Please take it very seriously & revert at the earliest as we want to meet you immediately.
