Get-well-soon SMSes flood MCD's 'sick dept'
The resident welfare association of Lajpat Nagar III in South Delhi has found a unique way to voice its angst against the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
Exasperated by failed attempts to get the civic body to repair two water pumps that supply water to the colony's parks, the residents are now SMSing 'get well soon' messages in bulk to senior officials of the MCD.
"It seems the horticulture department of Lajpat Nagar III is sick. Please send a 'Get Well Soon' SMS to the following phone numbers," the message reads.
MCD's horticulture director SS Khandpal confirmed he'd received the SMS.
"The water level was quite low because of which this happened. We will be getting them (the pumps) repaired within two days," he said.
The association has also been spreading the message among residents of other colonies asking them to forward the SMS to the officials concerned.
On Sunday, mobile phones of a number of MCD officials were flooded with the SMSes bordering on Gandhigiri — unusual and endearing non-violent forms of protest inspired by Hindi movie Munnabhai MBBS.

India Gate To Get A Bath, ASI, CPWD Work Together To Give It A Facelift Before Games
There would be scrubbing, cleaning and also a little shampoo, not to mention the new dressing. No, we are not talking about a person getting a makeover but Delhi's one of the most popular hangouts - the India Gate - being spruced up ahead of the Commonwealth Games.
The 42.35 metre high arch, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and built as a war memorial, is set to get a thorough cleaning soon. The structure, built in the 1920s not just weathers heat, dust and rains, it is also showing signs of deterioration like seepage below the side openings on north and south sides and black marks at certain places due to moss and lichen.

Hike in petro prices on cards
The government may, from next week, find it easier to decontrol petrol and diesel prices as softening global rates would require fuel costs to be raised by just Rs 3.50 a litre for the purpose.
An Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM), headed by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, is scheduled to meet on June 7 to consider a Kirit Parikh Committee report that calls for the freeing of petrol and diesel prices from governmental control, besides steep hikes in LPG and kerosene rates to cut fuel subsidy.
"Earlier, there were doubts if the government would actually free auto fuel prices - particularly that of diesel — as the hike required to make them at par with international rates was over Rs 6 per litre. But the fall in global oil prices has made the task easier," an Oil Ministry official said.
The EGoM will have to raise the price of petrol by Rs 3.35 per litre and that of diesel by Rs 3.49 a litre to free them from government control.
International crude oil prices have shaved off over $10 per barrel to bring them down to $72-74 a barrel. "The hike needed to free auto fuel prices till last week was Rs 6.07 a litre in petrol and Rs 6.38 a litre in diesel. Raising prices, particularly that of diesel by such an amount in one go, was considered politically difficult," he said.

Sheila Taxes Us As Crores Go Unspent
The series of tax hikes effected by chief minister Sheila Dikshit to raise money for urban improvement could have been avoided had her government utilised central funds earmarked for infrastructure development.
The midterm appraisal of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission ( JNNURM) accessed by MAIL TODAY shows the state government spent a mere Rs 22 crore of the nearly Rs 6,000 crore committed by the Centre for the fiscal years 2005- 06 to 2009- 10.
The midterm appraisal of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission ( JNNURM) accessed by MAIL TODAY shows the state government spent a mere Rs 22 crore of the nearly Rs 6,000 crore committed by the Centre for the fiscal years 2005- 06 to 2009- 10.
As a result, the huge amount was allowed to lapse, leading to a funds crunch for the Capital's urban development.
JNNURM funds are used for infrastructure development and creating facilities for the urban poor. The midterm appraisal report is prepared by the Union ministry for urban development.
The state government had only to submit detailed project reports on time. But it did not do this for three consecutive fiscal years 2005- 06 to 2007- 08. In 2008- 09, it got only Rs 22 crore against the sanctioned plans.
In 2009- 10, against its city development plans, that is draft proposals, the Centre sanctioned nearly Rs 5,500 crore.
Shockingly, Delhi bureaucrats yet again failed to prepare detailed project reports - the final project plans that include design details and execution plans - allowing the hefty amount to lapse.

Water Problem and DJB
Water shortage in delhi is known to DJB and political bosses and is there fore not a new phenomenon.
Solution may invole long term strategy and expenditure of crores of rupees.
But baffling is that tube wells functional in almost all residential societies and even services were handed over to MCD, were functional but were made in operative just a few years ago.
Such tubewells were boosting and to some extent mitigating water shortage.
Unfortunately, some decision at policy maker level has been taken without consideration of discomfort to citizen.
Could any body throw light as to how DJB COULD BE MADE TO REALISE THEIR FOLLY.
