Disaster Management Awareness programme launched by DC - East

A Disaster Management Awareness programme has been launched by DC East to generate awareness amongst general public. Yesterday Mr Lalit Mohan Sharma, Gen. Secy. Vishwas Nagar RWA arranged the show in his area. A day before it was held by Mrs. Meera Sabharwal, President Geeta Colony RWA in her area. Many more RWA's are showing great interest in this awareness activity.

Disaster can be Natural or Man made. For Example Floods, Earthquake, Tsunami, Cyclones, Forest fire etc. come under the Natural disaster whereas the use of Nuclear, Chemical or Biological weapons, Mine fires, Terrorist attacks, Cyber attacks etc. come under the man made disaster.  Delhi  comes under the Earthquake Sisemic Zone 4 and is very prone to Earthquakes of the  magnitude of  5 - 6 or 6 - 7 or even 7 - 8. 

Therefore, we need an effective Disaster management system, where in case of any such disaster, we could start the rescue work on our own without waiting for the instructions. Proper guidelines must be drawn for all the Govt Agencies as well NGO's, RWA's  & all others, with duties assigned so that if we face any such disaster, we are ready to start our work immediately.

Police and traffic violators

Go to any corner of delhi, the storey is the same. Traffic light jumping,insane driving are the norms. Gone are the days when in connaught place inner circle,traffic would stop to allow pedestrians to cross road on zebra crossings.We have become brazen and UNCARING IN THE LAND OF BUDHA.

Situation is differnet at VIKAS MARG AND BHADUR SHAH INTERSECTION because CCTV COVERS IT.
CWG are nearing and TRANSYAMUNA AREA WILL BE IN FOCUS.
But despite common wealth games and raising issue in bhagidari meetings, there is no progress to make footh paths fit for walking even in MADHUVAN colony of IAS, JUDGES, TOP POLICE FUNCTIONARIES or in PREET VIHAR COLONY( NEW DELHI 110092.

Why MCD IS SILENT DESPITE ADMITTING 27 ENCROACHMENTS OF PUBLIC PASSAGES IN MADHUVAN ALONE IS UNEXPLAINABLE.
No wonder that even a private school in preet vihar has EMBOLDENED ENOUGH to block 15 ft road of madhuvan from NAGRAJ MARG TO PREET VIHAR A BLOCK.
Even an order of PUBLIC GRIEVANCE COMMISSION TO SDM PREET VIHAR(ISSUED IN 2009) has not dented or blunted inaction of MCD AND POLICE. Immediately police must start interaction with citizens groups at thana and dy commissioner level. POLICE COMMISSIONER MAY ALSO KINDLY TAKE NOTE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN parliamentry constituency of sandeep dixit, son of our most respectable and beloved CHIEF MIMINSTRE SHIELA JI

Fee hike & the formation of PTA's

The Directorate of Education had issued guidelines that Schools can enhance the fees, only with the consent of the parents. They were also directed to form the PTA's as per guidelines issued by the DOE. We appreciated a lot, the grand effort of Mr Arvinder singh Lovely, Minister of education who took keen interest in resolving the issue.

But we feel shocked that a group of 40 Principals have met CM in this regard and conveyed their apprehensions about seeking consent of parents in deciding the school fees.

Just a few months ago the same DOE had issued orders to increase the fees & all the schools  had happily accepted the directive & collected as said in the order with retrospective effect. A good number of parents were hurt by this order. Now again, these schools have raised the fees on flimsy grounds and now ,when the DOE is critical of the issue, the management of these schools has conveyed apprehensions to the CM.

We again request to the DOE as well MOE to give a serious thought to it & see that the orders & guidelines are accepted by all the schools.

Fee hike stir: schools slam directive to seek parents’ consent

School principals of unaided (private) schools have reacted sharply to the circular issued by the Directorate of Education (DoE), which said schools will no longer be able to increase tuition fee without taking parents into confidence. 

On Saturday, a group of 40 principals met Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit. In a meeting that lasted 20 minutes, the schools conveyed their apprehensions about seeking consent of parents in deciding the school fee. The CM assured them that she will look into the matter immediately. 

Calling the circular illegal, S.K. Bhattacharya, president of the Action Committee of Unaided Recognised Private Schools, asked for its immediate withdrawal. 

Inappropriate action

“It contradicts the provisions of the DSEA 1973. How can the parents decide what the fees should be?” he said. “It is impractical to let parents decided since they do not have any responsibility of meeting the expenditure incurred in the running of the school. They cannot be allowed to interfere in management of the school.”

Mohini Bindra, principal, Ramjas School, said as per the Delhi School Education Act (DSEA) 1973, schools had already submitted their fee structure to the DoE for the new academic year by March 31.

No Garbage Dumps Near Shopping Centres: HC to MCD

The Delhi High Court on Thursday expressed serious concern over poor maintenance of waste collection centers (dha- laos) across the city.

 

The court told the civic agency that garbage dumps should only be constructed at places earmarked for it and not near shopping centers. "The MCD is to ensure the dhalaos are properly main- tained. They should be as per norms with regular check up to ensure that persons are per- forming their job," said a bench of justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Valmiki J. Mehta MCD standing counsel Sanjeev Sabharwal told the court that the orders will be immediately conveyed to the MCD commissioner and the Sanitation Superintendent and it will be ensured that there will be no complaints in the future.

Sabharwal also said the civic agency would try its best to avoid dumps near shopping centres but said DDA will have to provide more space for them.

Transport Dept Officers To Nab Traffic Violators

The Next time you feel the urge to flout a traffic rule, think twice. In addition to the traffic cops keeping a lookout, the Delhi government's transport department will also be waiting to nab you. In a move that is aimed at strengthening the enforcement wing of the transport department, Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit on Thursday flagged off 35 vehicles, which will have six officers each to keep an eye on traffic violators.

The vehicles will remain on roads at strategic points and officers will have the power to take action under various sections of the Motor Vehicles Act.

" These vehicles are a red signal for violators and a step to further contain incidents of over- speeding and accidents. This will go a long way in the strict enforcement of the Motor Vehicles Act and book offenders and take immediate and appropriate action," said Dikshit.

The officials of the transport department are empowered to carry out all that the traffic police do and more.

Water crisis and DJB

Pigeon closes eyes thinking cat has walked away. But when the cat pounces upon i do not know whether pigeon realises its folly or not.
DJB was created thinking what ails delhi citizens on water front shall be cured. The myth has exploded like a bad joke. It is beyond imagination that a part of delhi will be water starved. WATER NOT AVAILABLE EVEN FOR ONE HOUR...and we think ourselves to be advanced city like any other city of the world.
DJB MUST APOLOGISE FOR THIS LAPSE MAKING CITIZENS BEGGARS FOR WATER.
DJB must daily publish in news papers and on tv channels, areas which are water starved and how long this situation will last. Are they loking for rain GOD?
Water harvesting has not been adopted by MCD OR DELHI ADMINISTRATION OR EVEN CENTRAL GOVERNMENT except big ads in news papers.
Let all government run or aided school premises,government offices be used for water harvesting.
Water needs to be brought from adjacent states and it is no use blaming political setups.
CWG are approaching. DJB must act swiftly.

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.
