TO DAY i went to dy.commissioner east office in connection with my tatkal passport as a VERIFICATION CERTIFICATE IS needed.
I came to know about above meeting for preet vihar area.
During bhagidari meetings..suggestions have been made that a small group of bhagidars be entrusted with a problem which has defied solution over couple of years.
To hold meetings area wise is an excellent idea. Now officers shall have to be specific in action taken report.
The crime rate and police apathy need to be looked into in a detailed manner.
We must know what is the schedule of installation of CCTV CAMERAS ON IMPORTANT TRAFFIC SIGNALS.
WE ALSO NEED TO BE BRIEFED WHY FOOTH PATHS ARE NOT MEANT FOR WALKING ALONG NAGRAJ MUNI MARG FROM SHAKARPUR T POINT TO PREET VIHAR NEW DELHI 110092...G BLOCK.
Further, i must compliment police authorities for establishing preet vihar thana near durga mandi.A senior officer must be available so that staff attached to SHO do not refuse to accept letters even from SDM PREET VIHAR. A board need to be put up to indicate status of FIRS lodged say over six months.
Again i thank commissioner police for establishing police stations for preet vihar area.

DDA Asked To Compensate Rs.15,000 To RTI Applicant
BY IANS :
www.RWABhagidari.blogspot.com
NEW DELHI - The Central Information Commission (CIC) has asked the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to pay Rs.15,000 as compensation to an RTI applicant who suffered because the housing agency provided the information after a delay of about four months.
The decision came on an application filed by Govind Prasad Aggarwal, a resident of Haryana, who had sought some information under the Right to Information (RTI) regarding a DDA flat in Mayur Vihar area of east Delhi.
Aggarwal had filed the RTI application Feb 29, 2008 but got information only after July 28, 2008.
Under the RTI Act, information is required to be provided in 30 days time. In other words, the information should have been provided by the end of March, 2008. However, there was delay of about four months, Information Commissioner M.L. Sharma noted in his order last month.
It is clear that this matter has passed through the hands of several officials, and, therefore, it is difficult to determine individual responsibility for the purposes of imposition of penalty under the RTI Act. The fact, however, remains that there has been delay of four months in responding to the RTI application, Sharma observed.
The DDA officers vehemently opposed compensation stating that the matter involved several departments/offices of the DDA, which naturally took time.
They also plead(ed) that delay was not deliberate…was inherent in the situation…The explanation given by the DDA officers is not found to be satisfactory. The appellant pleads that this has caused him detriments and he requests for compensation, Sharma said.
Delay of four months has occurred in supply of information to the appellant and thereby the appellant has suffered detriment… On a thoughtful consideration of the matter, we are of the opinion that the ends of justice will be met if compensation of Rs.15,000 is paid to the appellant, Sharma directed.

Lawmakers Ticked Off For Illegal Construction
A Minicipal Corporation of Delhi ( MCD) report has found that nine municipal councillors and two legislators live in buildings in the Capital that have illegal constructions.
Either the lawmakers or their families own these buildings. The report said that the illegal constructions in these 11 instances are non compoundable one that cannot be legalised even by paying a penalty.
In eight of these cases, the MCD said it had during routine inspections in the past failed to detect the illegal portions and did not record the irregularities.
In the remaining three, the MCD didn't demolish illegal additions even though it had booked them, the report added.

Delhi in foreign media
A peek into what the international press is saying about the Commonwealth Games in the Capital and the recent Maoist attacks
A countdown clock outside the Commonwealth Games offices in New Delhi shows 192 days left until the Indian capital hosts the 17-sport event. But the city still looks like a messy construction site. The main stadium is months overdue and remains a tangle of cranes, and residents are furious over new taxes to pay for the Games.
Meanwhile, dozens of construction workers have died and hundreds of thousands are laboring in unsafe conditions in the rush to prepare the city for the Games, a court-appointed investigation said. India hoped that by hosting athletes from the 71 countries of the Commonwealth, the former British Empire, it would boost its global image and become a contender for the Olympics. Now, with the October-3 start date approaching, many are wondering whether it's worth it.
Children are slaving away at work on building sites in New Delhi as the Indian capital struggles to get ready for this year's Commonwealth Games.
Parents have been promised bonuses, such as money for bread and milk, on top of their normal pay, if they bring their children and put them to work. The building drive comes amid major concerns the city will not be ready to hold the Games when they fall due in October, with major sporting and transport infrastructure still not ready.
Struggling to hold up shovels, which are as tall as they are, the children are helping to build drainage works in front of the $1.8-billion Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi, where the opening and closing ceremonies for the Games and the athletics events will be held.
At least 75 paramilitary policemen were killed in a dawn ambush by Maoist rebels in thick forest in central India today. The loss was one of the worst in a single attack by the insurgents in many years and highlights the increasingly serious problem extremist leftwing violence poses to the country.
Several hundred fighters from the Communist party of India (Maoist) appeared to have used mines and small arms against a unit of 120 men from the central reserve police force.
The force was taking part in a months-long operation in the central state of Chhattisgarh aimed at re-establishing state authority in thousands of square miles of territory now under the sway of the insurgents. This year has seen a series of such attacks though the latest is by far the most ambitious and deadly.
The harsh fact is that a third of the country's districts are now fighting insurgencies, and unless more of India's citizens get a sense of belonging to their "shining," "incredible" country as the PR disciples would have it there are fears that the violence may increase substantially.

PGC ORDER TO REMOVE ENCROACHMENT OF PUBLIC PASSAGE BY UNIVERSAL PUBLIC SCHOOL PREET VIHAR NEW DELHI
Public Grivance Commission Hon'ble member Sh.Gupta had ordered in 2009 that SDM PREET VIHAR SHALL TAKE COGNISANCE OF ENCROACHMENT ON PUBLIC PASSAGE OF MADHUVAN NEW DELHI(by UNIVERSAL PUBLIC SCHOOL PREET VIHAR NEW DELHI) . The road was to be restored within two months to public passage.
Unfortunately this order remains on paper only.
Today hearing was to review status. I attended hearing but UNFORTUNATELY NONE WAS PRESENT FROM MCD SHAHDARA SOUTH ZONE. The next hearing date shall be ordered by honourable member of PGC. MC of DOCHBS LTD Madhuvan new delhi decided in 2005 for further appropriate action to ensure restoration of road for public use.Since then i as Hoy.secretary had been raising this matter in bhagidari meetings,and with VICE CHAIRMAN DDA, COMMISSIONER MCD. MLA and area councillor but the school authorities are powerful in every sense of the word. A private individual has got the guts to ignore law of the land and defy authorities. The school is unconcerned school building was denied completion certificate by MCD. The school premises are being misused to run office and residential quarters. Even inspections by top officers of MCD AND DDA FAILED TO CURB THIS ILLEGAL ACTIVITY.
MCD IS FAILING IN ITS DUTY TO BOOK SCHOOL AUTHORITIES FOR ALL ILLEGALITIES.
I had been threatened by goons.
My humble request to all of you is...please help us to restore road for public use from the clutches of private individuals running this school. Even TV channel coverage and front page coverage in news paper is not having any effect.
Where should we go to get justice.

Water scarcity in delhi and intentioanal neglect of society tube wells
We read that next war could be on account of sharing of water between nations. Suggestions have been floated like slicing ice berg and towing them to water scacity area.
Delhi is facing acute water shortage and even winter months are no exception.
But strangely some time back a decision had been wrongly taken to keep tube wells of societies in operative.
I refer to our Delhi Officer's House Building Society Ltd Madhuvan New Delhi 110092.
Society handed over potable water supply arrangements to MCD in 1995 and our filtered water supply pump had been operational for couple of years. Mr.Sudhir pump operator was on MCD pay role for operation of tube well.
Now i am informed that tube well along with water filterational equipment has been lying inoperational because DJB has taken some decision not to operate these tube wells.
There could be hundreds of such installations through out delhi. To not to augment water supply arrangements is beyond my thinking.
I fervently appeal that all societies and others having such arrangements must impress upon our elected representatives and DJB AUTHORITIES TO MAKE THESE TUBE WELLS OPERATIONAL and help to reduce water scacity.

Delhi jal nigam water bills
We are able to pay our bills online for power, telephone, internet etc. But Jal Nigam has lagged behind in offering this service. Jal Nigam should take this up on a fast track.
