Bhagidari meet of preet vihar area held on 23 rd april 2010

Congratulations SDM PREET VIHAR AND STAFF for organising meeting in an excellent manner and wise decision to allow only ONE PERSON PER RWA TO SPEAK.
Proceedings were tape recorded and hope the points made are acted upon.
Participants including my self pointed out problems duly raised since 2005 and requiring NO FUNDS have not been attended BY MCD,DDA AND DJB.
Formation of action groups of participants along with dy.commissioner staff had been made time and again but not implemented.
Orders of PGC NEED TO BE RESPECTED AND ACTED UPON.
MCD ADMITTED 27 ENCROACHMENTS IN MADHUVAN BUT FAILED TO TAKE ACTION.
This creates a doubt about integrity of MCD OFFICERS IT SELF.
Sh. Ramesh Pandit had introduced a system of marking attendance by safai karamchari in society office.
This resulted into very good sanitation. BUT NOW THIS PLAN HAS BEEN ABANDONED.
Vohra ji, kindly communicate our heart felt appreciation to concerned SDM.

Community Hall Ka Kiraya Ab 50 % Menhga

दिल्ली नगर निगम ने कम्युनिटी हॉल के किराए में 50 फीसदी वृद्धि करने का प्रस्ताव तैयार किया है। इससे पहले निगम विवाह आदि समारोहों के लिए पार्को के किराए में वृद्धि कर चुका है। निगम अधिकारियों के मुताबिक बढ़े किराए से जहां निगम के आय में वृद्धि होगी वहीं आमदनी होने से समुदाय भवनों के रख-रखाव पर खर्च करने में सुविधा होगी। निगम ने राजधानी के विभिन्न समुदाय भवनों को ए से लेकर ई श्रेणी तक विभाजित किया है।

ए श्रेणी के कम्युनिटी हॉल का वर्तमान किराया 10 हजार रुपये है जिसे बढ़ाकर 15 हजार रुपये करने की तैयारी है। इसी प्रकार बी श्रेणी का 5 हजार से बढ़ाकर 7,500 रुपये, सी श्रेणी का तीन हजार से बढ़ाकर 4,500 रुपये, डी श्रेणी का 1,500 रुपये से बढ़ाकर 2,250 रुपये और ई श्रेणी का किराया 500 से बढ़ाकर 750 रुपये करने का प्रस्ताव है।

हालांकि विपक्ष इस प्रस्ताव का विरोध कर रहा है लेकिन निगम में भाजपा के पास पूर्ण बहुमत होने के कारण इसमें बढ़ोतरी तय मानी जा रही है। निगम सूत्रों के कहना है कि जिन पार्को के रट 500 रुपये प्रतिदिन थे उनका किराया बढ़ाकर 4 हजार रुपये कर दिया गया है। इसके अलावा एक हजार रुपये प्रतिदिन वाले पार्को के किराए की दर 8 हजार रुपये कर दिया गया है। पंजाबीबाग स्टेडियम, मानसरोवर गार्डेन, रमेश नगर के पार्को का किराया 25 हजार रुपये प्रतिदिन की दर से कर दिया गया है। समुदाय भवन के किरायों की दरों में बढ़ोतरी इस माह के अंत तक कर दी जाएगी।

एमसीडी के मुताबिक बढ़े किराए से जहां निगम के आय में वृद्धि होगी वहीं समुदाय भवनों के रख-रखाव पर खर्च करने में सुविधा होगी। निगम ने समुदाय भवनों को ए से लेकर ई श्रेणी तक विभाजित कर रखा है।

Revive Encroachment Monitoring Body: RWA

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has failed to control illegal construction and encroachments, says a resident welfare association (RWA) in east Delhi, who has written a letter to the Lieutenant-Governor and sought his intervention in this regard.

The RWA has urged the Delhi High Court and the Union urban development minister to revive the high court monitoring committee, as illegal construction and encroachments have increased manifold even after the assurances given by the MCD and DDA.

The Delhi High Court had appointed a monitoring committee to keep a check on illegal construction and encroachments in Delhi. The MCD had got the committee suspended after assuring the high court that it will not allow any illegal construction to come up. Every fourth house in Delhi is being reconstructed illegally. Fourth floor is being allowed to come up despite the Supreme Court judgement on the issue still pending," said Anil Bajpai, president, RWA federation (east Delhi).

The members said the MCD had turned a blind eye to the rapid increase in illegal construction.

Property Tax

Dear Friends

We must raise the issue of closure of counters for submitting Property Tax at DC office /Zonal Office Building in Vishwas Nagar behind KKD courts. Only one centre in Geeta Colony is not at all sufficient for whole East Delhi. If not in each MCD ward, there should be a property tax collection centre in each Assembly Consituency.

Parents Say Won't Pay Hiked Fees,Ask Schools To Form PTAs Consult Them Before Raising Tuition Fees

Last year parents held numerous protests against what they called an `unjustified hike' in school fees

To try and rein in rising school fees, parents of students of 30 city schools on Sunday decided not to pay the hiked fees for the new session. Parents gathered at a meeting called by the All India Parents' Association (AIPA) on Sunday, following the latest guidelines issued by the directorate of education (DoE) on April 16. The DoE guidelines now make it mandatory for a school to get the consent of its Parent Teacher Association before the school-managing committee approves any hike in the fee.

According to AIPA, parents will not pay any hike in the fee for the new session, which started this month, unless every school forms a valid PTA and takes its consent before hiking the fee. Schools have invariably increased the fee by 15% to 20% at the start of the session even though such a hike is unnecessary in most cases.

We have now decided to pay the same fee as before and not the hiked amount, said Ashok Aggarwal, national president, AIPA. Aggarwal added, ``Parents of nearly 30 schools were present in the meeting, including Summer Fields School, Kailash Colony; Air force Bal Bharati, Lodhi Road; Green Fields School, Safdarjung Enclave; Ramjas School, Anand Parbat; Sachdeva Public School, Rohini; Vishal Bharti School, Paschim Vihar; Navy Children School, Chanakyapuri and others on Sunday morning which went on for almost two-and-a-half hours. We will make other parents also aware of this decision. DoE's fresh guidelines have given us a legal backing. If schools take any action against the parents, we will move court.

CITIZENS AND THEIR SECURITY

On 20th april 2010,around 2pm, mrs.rastogi(Resident of 83 Madhuvan new delhi 110092) was on her way to fetch children as usual from the bus stand near the entry gate of society. Motorcycle borne youths pounced upon her,snatched her chain and ran away in full view of security guard and other ladies.
This is not an isolated case.
FIRS are lodged but cases remain untraced. Society who charges enormous money every month from all residents remain unconcerned. The plea is that this is an individual case and let the individuals take up.
The police has also got the stock answers. Sample a few;
1.Why you wear gold chains? You are encouraging such incidents.
2. Have you noted down motor cycle registeration number.
3. Yes registration number is noted. But it is a fake number plate.
You can add N number of such bhanaas.
Manu samrti directs raja to protect property and life of citizens of the state.
Raja has no right to collect taxes if raja fails to protect.
Our problems are manifold. CITIZENS HAVE NO SAY. Bloggers their duty done after blogging.
Nothing tangible is achieved if we FAIL to monitor even one thana in transyamuna.
Let us pick up only one category, collect data and monthly meetings are organised.
I remember my EAST OF KAILASH DAYS.
As a president of EAST of kailash, we used to organise such meetings and area councillor,Member LEGISTATIVE COUNCIL and officers concerned would also be present.
VOHRA JI, KINDLY LEAD YOUR FLOCK.

BJP's 'mother of all rallies' on Wednesday

New Delhi, April 18 -- With the BJP out to stage the "mother" of all rallies and march to Parliament on April 21, Wednesday could well turn out to be a nightmare for commuters. In a bid to show the party is back on its feet in terms of mass agitations, party chief Nitin Gadkari is making his team sweat in the heat amid efforts to assemble more than a lakh supporters from across the country in the Capital to rally against the rise of prices of essential items. "The protest march to Parliament will be record breaking," the BJP president said, adding the party would try to show it cares more for the aam admi than the Congress.

BJP leaders said special care is being taken for providing "sanitary infrastructure" by arranging over 6,000 mobile toilets, water taps and tankers.

In 20 Mins, Get That Heathrow, Hong Kong Ride

Trains From Spain Have Landed At Mundra In Gujarat, On Way To Capital; Promise Comfortable And Novel Experience

In five months from now, Delhiites can bid adieu to unending jams on the way to the airport and harassment by cabbies.

They will reach the airport from Connaught Place (CP) in specially engineered super luxury Metro coaches, which promise a noise-free ride in a plush ambience, in all of 20 minutes.

The first lot of new trains arrived at Mundra port, Gujarat from Spain on Friday and are on their way to the Capital now. The special coaches have specially been designed for the showcase Airport Express Line, which is scheduled to open in September this year.

The new trains are very different from the existing ones running on the Delhi Metro network. These will have seating for all passengers and the seating is transverse commuters will face the direction of movement of the train for added comfort.

The interiors of the trains have been designed keeping commuter comfort in mind. The lighting is diffused, the seats upholstered, and each coach will have LCD screens for entertainment, which will double up as flight information boards for convenience of air travellers.

Even as the trains zip past the city at a speed of about 120 kmph (the designed speed is higher at 135 kmph), one will not feel any discomfort inside the coaches.

The trains are engineered to reach near-zero noise levels and all the components flooring, insulated walls, windows have in-built noise reduction features. The wheels too have added lubrication for less noise and better riding comfort. The train doors are plug-and-shut type, which shut after sliding out a bit and then move back into original position.
