Cell Phone Towers On School, Hospital Buildings `illegal'; Ensure People Don't Suffer, Says CM

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has framed a policy to regularise cell phone towers in the city.

The policy will be tabled in the standing committee meeting of the civic body on Tuesday.

The MCD has said mobile towers installed on schools, hospitals and dispensaries will have to be removed in 15 days' time.

"The installation of mobile towers is not allowed on school buildings and hospitals as per the present policy also," said Ram Kishan Singhal, chairman of the standing committee of the MCD. "These towers will be removed but at least 15 days' time will be given so that the network in the city is not affected."

Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, meanwhile, said her government has asked the MCD to remove the illegal towers but without causing inconvenience to people.

The civic agency is yet to decide on the time frame it will give to cellular providers under the new policy.

Soon, Cancer Drugs At Half-Price From Govt Outlets ?

In a first-ever initiative to bring down prices of expensive cancer medication, the government plans to retail them through its `Jan Aushadhi' stores, which offer essential `unbranded' drugs at discounted rates. It has already initiated talks with domestic pharma companies to procure cancer drugs. To start with, first line cancer medicines may be sourced from major companies like Cipla, Sun Pharma and Dr Reddy's, and offered at nearly half the price at `Jan Aushadhi' stores to be set up at state hospitals where cancer is diagnosed and treated.

Winding up of societies ...Residents need to be made members

All societies which function under SOCIETIES ACT 2003 MAY KINDLY READ and advise your reactions.
I had been hony secretary and member of managing committee for more than six years.

The The house building cooperative societies came up from 1964 on wards. Members of various services,like medical,press, delhi administrative services, mcd and like wise services laid down conditions and membership was opened. The objective was to obtain prime piece of land on lease(govt policy). Societies had a long wait. The land allotment started somewhere in 1975 and Delhi Officers also got a chunk of land opposite to sharkur and on eastern side railway track...delhi..ghaziabad was the boundary.
Our plot was allotted for 225 members and thereafter services were laid in accordance with DDA SANCTIONED LAY OUT PLAN, plots carved out and allotted to members. I was allotted plot number 78 in block A. The founders of our DOCHBS LTD were persons of exemplary dedication, honesty and integrity.
So, after allotment of plots and handing over of services to Muncipal Corporation of Delhi, the objectives were achieved.
The co-operative societies ACT 1978 was revised in 2003 and amended from time to time.
Act stipulated winding up of societies within stipulated time frame.
Original members(like me) were issued share certificates and i yhink face value was rs 100/ or rs 10/(kindly correct me).
The amount for development was collected from time to time and accounts presented every year.
How ever problems came up after completion of services work.
The account was to be prepared and got approved from general body including the following informations.
1. What was total amount collected from members from time to time.
2. Amount spent on laying of services and handing over of services.
3. What was profit or loss ?
4. Value of share.
This has not been done and needs to be done on priority.
All residents are to be part of decision making like annual charges for various activities (if RESIDENTS WANT).
Our madhuvan society consists of 225 members at the time of inception. A couple of members have expired and their nominees have not come forward for becoming members.
So our actual strength has dwindled.
At present the dwelling units have almost doubled by way of hectic activity.
QUESTION...
Residents have no say nor participated in deciding ANNUAL charges for security and annual Maintainenance charges.
APPEAL
Kindly decide whether charges demanded by society are payble or NOT PAYABLE BY RESIDENTS(non member residents).
The residents have full right to hold meetings for the benefit of residents and no MRWA or society politics should dictate further line of action.

New cross-border threat? Calls offering cash for data

NEW DELHI: When in doubt, don’t call back. More so if you happen to be an Airtel subscriber and have a missed call from a +92 number. Cellphone major Bharti Airtel told TOI that many of its subscribers are receiving fraudulent calls — usually a missed call — presumably from across the border. “Callers often call back thinking 92 is a Tata Indicom number, overlooking the fact that +92 is Pakistan’s country code”, a company spokesperson said.

On returning the missed call, the person at the other end would pretend to be an Airtel staffer and inform the caller that he/she has won a lottery/award conducted by the company. The fraudster would then attempt to dupe the customer into sharing sensitive personal information about his/her voter ID, PAN, bank account and credit card data and demand a commission (usually DTH recharge vouchers) to receive the winnings. “We issued an advisory which is up on our website to protect all mobile/landline users from falling victim to these malicious activities. We believe it is best to avoid responding to suspicious missed calls from unknown numbers,” the spokesperson emphasized.
