Dirty Drinking water straight from Dhobi Ghat ?
Areas in the first DLF colony, Krishna nagar, are facing the acute problem of Dirty & Smelly drinking water. For the last few months, the colour of water changes every day, from black to yellow to earthen & vice versa with bacteria & unknown particles as well with soapy effects as it has come not from the pipes of DJB but from any Dhobi Ghat. We can not use it for drinking or washing clothes & utencils, or for a bath and therefore, none would like to take it even free of cost. But the agony is that we are purchasing it from DJB by paying monthly bills.
The area MLA, Dr. Harshvardhan visited us and saw the condition of water a few days ago, while the DELHI AAJ TAK was airing a live show on Dirty water. He made a dozen calls to various DJB officials . We are thankful for his efforts but so far the quality of water remains same, most of the time.
We are thankful to Delhi Government for making dozens of changes in the East Delhi Map. The standard of living has definitely improved a lot. But if Govt could give more instructions to the concerned officials for keeping an eye on the basic civic problems, we will be thankful. We have great hopes from our MP Mr Sandeep Dikshit.

WE ARE NOT WHAT WE ARE
It is may they say,a tree in our mind or brain is not the tree what is existing out side us. Every instant we are changing. Infact every thing in this MRITYU LOKE IS CHANGING AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
Lord Buddha never talked about soul or god but only about DUKH.
We believe in torturing our body so that we may have place in heaven or better we do not come in this world at all.
This means we are not in hurry to correct our selves or to be humane to others.
That is why,we can overtake from left and defy every conceivable law.
Even we want to defy natural law of decay and death.
We want to be pardoned of all our sins, because we are religious or prentend to be so.
Why then we evade taxes and laws of land. Why our chosen ones fail set to example of exemplary behaviour.
But look, how we change when we go and work abroad.
Why god had to incarnate time and again in this land of ours. Surprising as it may seem, but the land of buddha and area associated with him are not shining example of peace and tranquility.
PERHAPS THINGS MAY CHANGE WHEN EVERY BODY SHALL HAVE UNIQUE ID AND COMPUTERISED RECORD.
Till then vohra ji go on blogging (or flogging your self).

New Power Tariff Likely From May
The proposed electricity tariff hike, that were supposed to be implemented from this month, may now be effective from May 1. According to sources, the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission is likely to announce the new tariff structure this week after a series of delays.It all depends on DERC whether it will allow a hike in power tariff.
The power regulator was keen on announcing the new tariff in March end but there were several delays in announcing it. According to sources, some discoms kept submitting new information to DERC regarding their financial positions even after the public hearing was concluded. While the regulator refused to take any new information into consideration while deciding tariff revision, the move by the discoms has led to delay in making the announcement.
"There is a lot of speculation going around on whether tariff will be changed or not. Discoms have been campaigning for a hike since long. They argued the cost of everything else from petrol to water in the city has gone up but power tariffs have not been revised for the past four years. They claimed the input costs for providing power have gone up," said DERC officials.

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.
