Water charges enhancement !

Dear Mr. Vohra ji,

I wonder whether you have the knowledge that the water charges have been  enhanced astronomically and our associate members as well. However, we are attaching the relevant documents for giving wide publicity through your blog and bring it to the notice of the Govt. as well right from top to bottom. In case you have already taken up the matter with the authorities concerned, pl. let us know. Notwithstanding, we are also forwarding the same to the officials concerned right from top to bottom i.e. LG/CM to EE/DJB for drawing their attention and taking remedial action on priority. Your views are also solicited on this vexed issue!

Best regards,

CWG & corruption

Dear Mr. Vohra,

 

I have read Mr. Vijay Kochar's view and think still there are some Nation Loving persons amongst us. I ,really, fail to understand what many a Leaders/ Public Servants are doing for the Nation ?( as if they are not the part of Govt/nation.?) now some  leaders announce a national strike call for the C W. Games or Kashmir un -rest/ burning of Govt. Property etc. etc.

I have been to Kashmir many a times,there are mountains,lakes,gardens,Rivers " Where from loads of STONES have come from now only"? ? never seen before ? Kashmir was a place of beauty and peace, Where are those days of Brotherhood of Pandits, Muslims and Sikhs in J&K ? Now the J&K State Govt. should be answerable to Parliament and jointly both should be answerable to the nation for such activities in J&K and other States too.

 IF good Opposition wants to have some creative service to the Nation WHY THEY SHOULD NOT GO TO KASHMIR AND EXPERIENCE THE FACTS OF THE ENTIRE SITUATION THERE ONLY AND SUGGEST WHAT CENTER OR STATE GOVT. SHOULD DO TO END THIS  HEART BURNING PROBLEM? Insted of calling  National Bands or rallies etc.

What is the use of calling a "National Band" when it is a matter of STATE ?
I think tons of money is wasted in such types of counter productive Bands/rallies etc. also by not allowing peaceful working in the Parliament for many a times WHAT productive or creative help/ suggestion is given to the Nation with such activities ! Will any of such leaders think on these lines ?

In my opinion, opposition is not for creating impediments only on every issue BUT should work like a Good Monitor of the Public in the Parliament for the wrong policies or corruption and weak national policies IF any by the Govt.

No one should be spared by Law for such anti National acts, who so ever he or she may be If proved guilty in the National cause.  Therefore,Let us join Hands with Govt. to bring Peace in the Nation and States and have Good CWG too, well managed and completed with flying colors ! !

Now Pay Your Power Bills At Suvidhaa Outlets

Consumers of the Capital's power distribution companies BRPL and BYPL will now be able to pay their electricity bills at the neighbourhood store. The companies have entered into a separate agreement with Suvidhaa Infoserve enabling customers to pay their bills at any of the 1,200 Suvidhaa stores across Delhi and the National Capital Region.

Under the agreement, BRPL's over 15 lakh customers in South Delhi and West Delhi will have an option to pay their electricity bills through both cash (up to Rs.4,000) or cheque. Over 11 lakh customers of BYPL in East and Central Delhi in the first phase will have the option of paying their bills through cheque and demand draft. At the Suvidhaa centres, customers will have to state the CRN number and make the payment by cheque or cash. "Customers can pay their BRPL/BYPL electricity bills through this service by paying a nominal transaction fee of only Rs.3 per bill to the retailer," said a BSES spokesperson.

Commonwealth Games: Civic agencies also responsible for mess

NEW DELHI: Rs 1,034 crore. That’s the amount of money that the DDA is spending on the Commonwealth Games 2010. Enough, you would think to ensure that the preparations go off without a hitch. 

Yet smooth sailing has been markedly absent in the run-up to the Games for the land agency. Controversies have dogged the DDA, right from the legacy of the Commonwealth Games Village — originally thought of as a hostel for Delhi University but ultimately ending up as a high-end residential destination — to the shocking delay in construction of the flats meant for tourists and the Games technical staff. 

Most projects started late — in 2008. While Siri Fort got held up almost immediately with the local RWA going to court over cutting of trees and the heavy construction near a heritage site — the Siri Fort wall — the Village was delayed due to a payment spat between the developer, Emaar MGF, and the local contractor, Ahluwalia Contracts. Yamuna Sports Complex has been consistently missing deadlines , mostly due to the complexity of the design of this table tennis stadium.

Professionals can help in cwg games

Government agencies are busy to complete scheduled works.
Electricity continuity is a must and in brief I share what was done in ASIAD in1984.
JNU STADIUM
33kv feed was ensured from three different sources.
So was the position in IG STADIUM.
In addition, back up feed from gas turbine was kept ready.
CHECKING OF LINES AND SUBSTATIONS
IP POWER STATION, and 33kv maintenance was having HOT POINTS DETECTION CAMERAS.
It is a must that all joints on at least power stations, grid stations and transmission lines are checked and proper records are kept.
One week before games, strategic locations must be rechecked, load reduced or transferred to avoid over loading.
The battery status needs to be hundred percent ok.
It wil be necessary to check protection schemes and proper operation of circuit breakers.
BREAK DOWN GANGS AND SYSTEM CONTROL
Must be manned by senior most and well versed engineers.
Hope these suggestions wil be considered.

A decorated sportsperson having been conferred "Asiad Jyoti" award by the President of India is between us

Dear friend(s),

 

Let's all get together and make it happen! High sounding words, practically meaning nothing at the ground level. But HOW? IS THE QUESTION.

 

To cite an example, I am one of the decorated sportspersons having been conferred "Asiad Jyoti" award by the President of India for the 'outstanding success for the organization and conduct of the Asian Games-82 in Delhi'. Having gained experience and expertise in the field of organization of sports, I had volunteered to serve the CWG organizing Committee and sent bio-data, as well, in response to their advt. a year back, but alas not even an ack. not to talk of sending a 'call letter' and rejecting even now at this belated stage!

 

There are such innumerable silent passionate and committed sports administrators in Delhi and around, but perhaps we could not catch the 'eyes' of those who matters in the Organizing Committee or done 'chamchagiri'. You would be really surprised that not even a single 'decorated official' of the Asiad-82 is now associated with the CWG-2010! Nor they will honour or invite them at least as mere observers to attend the CWG-2010! This is the pathetic condition in Indian sport. 

 

Have you ever heard that a 83 old woman becoming the President of HI after serving the AIWHA for a countless time as its President in the past leaving aside an Olympian and decorated player to head the organization. Count for example how many Presidents and Secretaries are heading the National Sports Federations for so many decades with no end and not allowing the 'younger, positive and capable' sportspersons coming into it!

 

Even I had sent the bio-data to the Delhi Administration under the Bhagidari scheme, where they had invited applications for volunteers to help the Games Organizing Committee and I don't know what is the fate of those applications!!

 

This is Bharat Mahan and not Australia where a 'voluntary scheme' in vogue right from the ground level to the topmost in every sphere of activity with no cost to the service-providers! Can we match it. NO!  I am not negative but totally positive but people should know the callous attitude of people who are selfless, -patriotic and passionate to do things for the sake of our country. Let's not give only lip service and eulogize whatever is being done - rightly or wrongly without looking into it in depth from all angles and directions!

 

TK Balu

Secretary/RBECHS/Anand Vihar

 

Notwithstanding, we could only pray to the Almighty for showering His/Her blessings on the organizers to come out with flying colours and grand success of the Games!

ON GOING CWG PROJECTS and citizens

Mr.kochar is right. We should not be only drain inspectors.The works completed must also be appreciated.
But criminal cost escalations,open flouting of quality control etc etc need to be thoroughly probed.
It is for press, tv channels, and citizen groups to act as watch dogs.
But, we condone every criminal act.
We do not raise voice if taxi stands are for minting money as private cars are sent as taxis,foot paths are grabbed,raised or lowered, barricaded . Just walk along nagraj muni marg from shakapur to preet vihar G block.
No amount of letter writings or raising issues in bhagidari help.
Now there is no fear of anti corruption or judiciary.
Please let us be not complacent but vigilant
