Awkward Social Situation For Traffic Police
Delhi Traffic Police perhaps did not anticipate the questions that would come their way when communicating with the public through the Internet.
A few weeks ago the department had logged on to social networking site Facebook and microblogging engine Twitter to provide necessary information about its new plans and initiatives and also make users aware about the city's traffic condition.
Facebook has also offered a platform for citizens of Delhi to put their suggestions, reactions and views.
The initial few days were smooth for the police to handle. But of late certain questions have put the cops in an embarrassing situation.
For instance, Alok Kathuria, who identified himself as a Delhi resident, today asked through Facebook: "Will the GK1-Sant Nagar red light ever be fixed? It's been more than three months, the traffic does not stop because drivers coming from Nehru Place never get to know when it becomes red."

Power rates shall go down if CM allows AND DERC has courage
Bloggers may recall the struggle in which couple of us participated to reveal truth about cost and performance of BSES and Tata distribution companies in Delhi. There were written and oral submissions and our dear Sharama ji did wonderful job besides others. We feel satisfied that DERC LISTENED BUT our political bosses spannered the tariff reduction proposal of DERC. We need to know what is happening.
I take this opportunity to say that DESU had spent a good deal of money to buy equipment which helps work on LIVE LINES AND no shutting down of line or transformer is needed. It is really regretful to see that a complete transformer is shut down plunging almost complete colony into darkness even when a work is to be carried out on a line feeding a small segment of colony.
Further, regarding customer education or interaction with residence NO MINUTES ARE ISSUED. I draw attention to MEETINGS HELD IN KARKARDOOMA AND NIRMAN VIHAR. No minutes of meeting have been received (and not even issued). The representative of residents associations and societies had made several suggestions but we do not know what happened. BSES MUST HAVE at least a monthly meeting to know how consumers are reacting to their unsheduled and announced shedding or planned shedding.
Merely publishing in some obscure news paper does not satisfy us. Why TV CHANNELS OR NATIONAL NEWS PAPERS COULD BE MEDIUMS TO INFORM PUBLIC.
Delhi police biggest human rights violator, says NHRC
The Delhi police is the biggest culprit among all government organisations in the Capital facing allegations of human rights (HR) violations. Its record might have seen some improvement in more serious categories of HR violations like custodial death, fake encounters and false implications, but the common man continues to be at the receiving end of its high-handedness and insensitive attitude, a figure compiled by the National Human Rights Commission says.
The statistics of all Delhi-specific complaints the NHRC received in the past three years shows that the numbers stood at 6210, 5433 and 5228 in years 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10, respectively, marking a constant decline. However, what did not decline is the Delhi police’s share in the complaints the NHRC got from the public and authorities too in certain cases.

Road tax up, vehicles to be costlier
Your dream vehicle is set to get costlier, as the Delhi cabinet today gave its nod to a hike in road tax.
Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said two-wheelers costing up to Rs 25,000 would continue to be charged at the rate of 2 per cent as earlier.
However, two-wheelers costing between Rs 25,000 and Rs 40,000 will be charged at the rate of 4 per cent instead of the earlier 2 per cent. Two-wheelers costing more than Rs 40,000 will now invite tax at the rate of 6 per cent.
In the cars section, cars costing up to Rs 6 lakh will be charged at 4 per cent instead of the earlier 2 per cent, while those costing from Rs 6 lakh to Rs 10 lakh will invite road tax of 7 per cent. Cars costing more than Rs 10 lakh would be charged 10 per cent.
All cars costing over Rs 6 lakh till now invited 4 per cent road tax.
When asked what led to this sudden hike, the Chief Minister said this would go a long way in restricting purchase of luxury cars and discourage use of private vehicles.
The new rate will come into force after the issue of a notification, she said.
The Capital has no scope of expansion and has limited road length. With the registration of around 1,000 new vehicles every day, the city is increasingly witnessing long traffic jams. There are around 60 lakh vehicles in Delhi, the Chief Minister said.

Power rates likely to go down
The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) is likely to announce the power tariff for 2010-11 this week. It will also submit the statutory advice on the tariff order to the Delhi government in a few days before going public with the new rates.
The DERC has already written a letter to the Delhi government stating that the new tariff order needed to be announced immediately.
According to sources, the new order might bring some respite to consumers as the DERC is said to have reduced the rates.
After the Delhi government came to know that the commission was preparing to slash rates by 20 per cent, it directed the DERC on May 4 to maintain the power tariff to the last year’s level.
The independent power regulator had sought the solicitor general of India’s opinion to clear the controversy triggered after the government directed the commission not to go public with its new tariff till the issues raised by the private power distribution companies were examined.
Though the solicitor general advocated in the DERC’s favour, the members of the commission have decided to make the announcements this week.
The discoms had opposed the move on the grounds that they were running into deficit as they were buying costly power from other states to meet the demands of the Capital. While on the other hand, the DERC had reportedly taken the stand that the discoms were having healthy profits and their cost of buying power would substantially come down once Delhi became power surplus before the Commonwealth Games.
Highest power demand in 50 yrs
Delhi today met its highest-ever power demand at 4581 MW in more than 50 years. The earlier record of peak demand was 4408 MW on July 8, 2009.

Techies find new project : Beg to fix leaking sewerage
GURGAON : These days, if you take the Rajiv Nagar road, you are likely to see four handsomely dressed boys “begging” for Rs 10 from passers-by.
The four boys are software engineers working for a multinational information technology company.They need this money to get an overflowing sewerage manhole repaired in Sanjay Gram, where they live. The four boys have been living in this locality since July 2008 in a rented accommodation.
“This manhole has been overflowing for the past 10 days and nearly 500-meters of the Rajiv Nagar road leading to our locality, Sanjay Gram, has become non-motorable. When we asked the RWA, they couldn’t help us for want of money,” said Sailesh Jha (27), a software engineer with Aricent Technologies.
“We do not expect a favourable nod from the civic authorities. Therefore, we decided to beg for the money and get the line repaired from the collection,” said Jha.

Paint your house, pay for it : MCD
If your house falls on any road that leads to a Commonwealth Games venue, the MCD wants your house repaired and painted. Here’s the catch: You get it repaired, you pay for it.
And just in case people don’t comply, the civic body is likely to make the renovations mandatory.
Residents of Defence Colony, Lajpat Nagar, East of Kailash, Bhogal, Karol Bagh, Chandni Chowk have already received such letters from the MCD.
“We had a meeting in April wherein the government asked us to motivate the residents to take up façade improvement of their houses and buildings. In many cases, it was recommended that the whitewash of buildings also be carried out. I have informed all the deputy commissioners to hold meetings and encourage the residents,” said MCD commissioner K.S. Mehra. The MCD’s central zone, where most of the CWG venues are located held a meeting to this effect on May 8.
