We have been informed that Guru Harkrishan Public school, Hargobind enclave has reduced the school fees. As instructed by Mr Param jit Singh Sarna, President, DSGMC, they have reduced the fees & intimated all the parents by way of SMS.

We are thankful to the Minister of Education Mr Arvinder singh Lovely as well  Directorate of Education, for this initiative to safeguard the interests of the parents. But it is quite strange that the schools lobby is not in favour of it.

Flyover City: Delhi Plans Another 19 To Give Traffic A Leg Up

Traffic in Delhi will literally be a cut above the rest once a web of 19 proposed flyovers is put in place by the state's Public Works Department.

Apart from these, there are two road projects that also promise to shorten travel time road 57 in East Delhi will be widened and a bridge will come up over the Yamuna connecting the third Pushta on M B Road to Majnu Ka Tilla on Ring Road.

Eight of the 21 projects have got the nod from the United Traffic and Transportation (Planning and Engineering) Centre or UPPTEC. The feasibility study of another five is on; the rest are approved but still on the planning table.

Among the first eight, four flyovers are coming up on Outer Ring Road  between Vikaspuri and Wazirabad to make the stretch signal-free. These are from Vikas Puri to Meera Bagh, from Mangolpuri to Madhuban Chowk, from Madhuban Chowk to Mukarba Chowk and from Mukarba Chowk to Wazirabad. There is a recently-completed flyover already at Mukarba Chowk.

Among the rest are two that the Delhi Urban Art Commission has put the breaks on by rejecting the plans one at Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg and the other on the East West Corridor. But the PWD has not given up hope.

Significant among those undergoing the feasibility study is one at the traffic intersection of Captain Gaur Marg, close to the Modi Mill Flyover. There are major slowdowns here during peak hours because of the intersecting traffic from East of Kailash, turning left towards the Modi Mill flyover and that which goes straight down to the flyover on Outer Ring Road.

I am one of the resident of Krishna Nagar which comes under the Shahdara south zone area.

It smells like it comes from some dead bodies. Please help us in this matter since it becoming a serious issue and already made some persons hospitalised.

We hope that our government will take some strict action in this matter so that we can proudly say that WE ARE DELHITIES

Yours truely,

Now, DTC Launching A New Bus Express Service Direct To Office

Delhi Transport Corporation is launching a new Express Service to ferry office-goers from Monday. These buses air conditioned and non air-conditioned will ply on 72 routes. These routes will connect areas like Connaught Place, CGO Complex, Nehru Place, AIIMS, ISBT and ITO, etc where most of the government as well as private offices are located with residential areas like Vasant Kunj, Dwarka, Malviya Nagar and Mayur Vihar Phase-III.

Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit said that special arrangements would be made to ensure success of the Express Service, which is also expected to help in lessening the number of private vehicles on city roads. "Use of private vehicles by office-going people in the morning and evening hours causes huge jams. When people drive their own cars, there are more vehicles on the roads and this lead to more environmental pollution. The Express Service is aimed at curbing this problem," said Dikshit, adding that the Express Service will start from Monday.

The chief minister flagged off 200 new low-floor buses from India Gate on Sunday. Of these, 54 AC and 90 non-AC buses will be used for the Express Service and the rest will run on regular routes.

According to Naresh Kumar, managing director of DTC, the fare on express routes falling in the city will be Rs 20 for non-AC buses and Rs 30 for AC buses. For NCR routes, the inter-state fare charging pattern will be followed, he added.

These buses will not ply on weekends and gazetted holidays. It has been decided that express bus services will pickup passengers from each stop for the first four kilometres and after that they will run non-stop. However, the driver will alight passengers on their request at authorized stands, said Kumar.

Nothing will change

Nothing will change so long as the attitude of the MCD, CPWD remains the same. The roads continue to be full of illdiposed garbage rotting for days because there is no proper procedure for the diposal system be it kitchen waste, chemical waste or industry waste.

The beautification work in Delhi in poorest quality material , design and workmen ship. it is there for everyone to see. road dividers before completion are already collapsing every where.Construction Projects of such level should be aiming at sustainability with minimal maintainance. The structures and construction should last a few decades if not centuries so that the taxpayers money is well spent for different needs. As a country we cannot afford road project every yeart. only contractors, builders and middle men are really having a good time, no accountability for the rubbish they are dumping on the public and there is no stopping no body is complaining.

Water logging is a very minor issue for them to deal with, because it is short and seasonal.

Suggestions:
Personal honesty and integrity alone at every level of functioning, thinking and planning can do the desired.

Rgds
Asha Baxi  - A Disappointed citizen and resident of this city.

A hope atleast : Delhi to have task force to check water logging.

We will be thankful to Delhi Government for forming any such task force, which can check the water logging in various parts of Delhi. The first task can be the Krishna nagar, the first DLF Colony, which  is very much prone to water logging. Even on the normal rain we get knee deep water on roads & in case of heavy down pour, we can see the Floating beds, Sofa sets and other house hold items in various houses, which has become a routine for the last over 25 years.

While the other localities of Delhi, may think of Pakoras on viewing the clouds in the sky, the residents of Krishna nagar, start fearing the nightmare of water logging instead. Atleast a hope for the residents of Delhi that any such task force is being formed in Delhi, which will check the water logging.

And Amul did it again.....rest to follow

Yeah in just less than three months, Amul has again raised the price of Milk in Delhi. A rupees per kg means atleast  Rs. 150 to 300 per month for a family of 4 to 6 persons. Prices of Arhar were raised a few days ago by the Govt. Prices of electricity is also expected to move up soon. 

Earlier, DOE had dictated that no school can raise the fees of the students without the consent of PTA's. The fees is already up in the schools in one way or other. The school lobby is even against the right to education for 25 % seats for poor students. 

The beds for poor patients in the private hospitals are EMPTY. They do not wish to admit the poor patients even though they agreed to do so while buying the Land at lowest prices from government.

Is there any check on the business houses, who are just in the process of making money. Govt. must check the audited financial statements of these companys to see if they are in Profits or REAL losses.

Just think of the position of a small business man or a private employee. The budgets of all these houses are totally upset.

Delhi To Have Task Force To Check Water-Logging

The Delhi government on Friday formed a high- level task force, led by to keep a check on water-logging.

The task force, led by Delhi chief secretary Rakesh Mehta, would ensure that all drains are cleaned before the onset of monsoon and that there is prop- er machinery available to clear water logging-prone areas in the shortest possible time.

The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by the Delhi chief minister and attended by all stakeholders, including MCD, NDMC, PWD, flood and irrigation department, officers of the revenue department and other related departments, a senior Delhi government offi- cial said.

To check proper cleaning of drains, a team of 27 sub-divi- sional magistrates from nine districts of Delhi will act as third party inspectors. The team will ensure that all 1,550 drains of the city are properly de-silted before the monsoon.

The PWD, MCD and the NDMC also identified water logging-prone points on roads in their jurisdiction and set up pumping stations to clear stag- nated water immediately.

Yes delhites are rich and can pay more for bijli

Yes delhite are rich. CM has correctly said so and this is how every body in MCD, DELHI GOVERNMENT,METRO OR DTC THINKS SO AND HENCE PRICE RISE.As compared to villages or small towns or even comparable cities, being capital of india, employment potential level or the actually employed persons or even income per head is higher.
So is rhe price level and hence higher rate of DEARNESS ALLOWANCE.
This scenerio does not give right to all agencies to raise prices.
The recod of tax collection IS DISMAL.Tax,be it sales tax,property tax we are tax evaders,encourage corruption of allhues.this is all with blessing of public elected or un elected politicians and pliable government and MCD staff and officers.
We do not feel concerned or ashamed that even internationally known limited companies evade rightful dues of MCD ETC.
TOWERS FOR PROVIDING MOBILE PHONE SERVICES ARE MORE WITHOUT APPROVAL than the approved ones. Even in a colony like Maduvan new delhi 110092, MCD has admitted 27 encroachments and MCD IS NOT ACTING BECAUSE OF CLOUT OR FEAR OF OFFICERS OF IAS,POLICE,JUDICIARIES ETC. Even our public passage of madhuvan connecting to NAGRAJ MUNI MARG,serving nirman vihar,preet vihar and madhuvan has been merged by merging it in UNIVERSAL PUBLIC SCHOOL PREET VIHAR.
What is the solution when all parties are in a race to please corrupt and dishonest. Perhaps there is no solution or there is a solution even if a few are ready to face riducle or any type of harrasment.
