Helpline Started To Make Games More Accessible

Commonwealth Games information is now just a phone call away. Dial 01168006800 and get any information you need related to ongoing Games. The information helpline will be open 24X7 during the Games.

 

Called Zat Se, this is a Games helpline and one will not have to pay to enjoy the service.

"Ask us anything about the Games, including event venues, places where tickets are available, routes to take and places to park your car. We have the answer ready for you," said an official of the helpline.

He said Zat Se provides information on the phone, through email and also via SMS.

Zat Se is an initiative of Hero Group, one of the leading industrial conglomerates in India, which has started providing the helpline service in Delhi-NCR.

Delhi Plans Wing To Maintain Games Infrastructure

The Delhi government is planning to create a separate wing in the public works department (PWD) to maintain the expansive infrastructures built across the city for the Commonwealth Games.

 

Delhi public works minister Rajkumar Chauhan said forming a new wing was imperative to ensure that the constructions remained in shape even after the Games.

He said the maintenance of the Games' infrastructure would be a challenging task and demanded considerable expenditure, but would help Delhi arrive on the world map.

"Some Games projects like the elevated road, Ring Road bypass and Salimgarh flyover have created history as they were constructed in a record span of time. At least more than three years were required to construct the elevated road, but Delhi did it in just 20 months," Chauhan said.

Commercial Use Of Residential Noida Plots Okayed

In a move that will make the lives of Noida residents easier, the state government has allowed carrying out of commercial activities in the residential areas here. Now, book shops, PCOs and ATMs etc will be allowed to operate in the residential sectors. Till now, all such facilities were permitted only in the markets of the residential areas.

 

The Noida Authority has now been allowed by the state government to permit commercial activities on 50 per cent of the residential plots. This relaxation is likely to benefit thousands of plot owners.

The Noida Authority had sent a proposal to the state government in this regard about 10 months ago. The matter was considered in detail at a Noida Authority board meeting also. Now, the final green signal has been received from the government.

According to this decision, commercial activities will be permitted on 50 per cent of the plots allotted under the 5 per cent Abadi land rule in 1997. Over 3,500 such plots have been allotted under this scheme and another 5,000 plots are likely to be allotted soon.

What makes the decision more interesting is the fact that the allottees will not have to make payment for these plots as per the commercial rates.

High Court asks DJB to brush up on its history

Delhi’s water crisis has prompted the judiciary to offer the government lessons in history, instead of law. On Wednesday, a top Delhi Jal Board (DJB) official was quizzed by the chief justice of the Delhi High Court (HC) Dipak Misra thus: “What were your subjects in school? Did you study History?” 

Man Singh, chief engineer (East) of the DJB was in court in connection with a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on severe water shortage in some areas of East Delhi. 

“History says all civilisations came up on river banks; first, provision of water is ensured. But in Delhi, you construct a concrete jungle first and then ponder over where the water will come from. This way, the water problem is inevitable,” Justice Misra told Singh.

“We find civic wings apathetic to civic problems. Instead of jointly solving it, they merely pass the buck,” said the court. 

The other judge — Justice Manmohan — slammed the civic agencies for unplanned concretisation of Delhi without caring about arrangements for water supply.

Protest Letter to New Zealand high commission

Protest Letter to New Zealand high commissioner

New Zealand High Commission
Sir Edmund Hillary Marg
Chanakyapuri,
New Delhi - 110021

Dear Sir,

With due respect, we hereby lodge our strongest protest against Mr Paul Henry, who has not only used abusive language against our Most respected CM of Delhi, but also used the term INDIAN in an utmost racist way.

We request you to please look into the matter & see that Mr Paul Henry is restricted from this kind of racist practices against INDIA.

With best regards

B S Vohra
East Delhi RWAs Joint Front

New Zealand embassy.....

Dear Friends,

 

Mr Henry's behaviour and comments were totally uncalled for and he has insulted not only our leader but  also insulted the Indian citizens who have elected her.New zealand govt should take strict action against him otherwise Newzealanders face the danger of being branded as uncultured ,loudmouthed and racist.

New zealand embassy .....

Dear friends,

 

It is ridiculous and most shocking! We must start a campaign through this blog and send it to the New Zealand embassy in Delhi to apologize failing which we have to take it at the diplomatic level? Next to late Smt. Indira Gandhi, we have an adorable and praiseworthy Chief Minister, Smt. Sheila Dikshit, of Delhi who is down to the earth and she knows the pains and pangs of aam aadmi more than anybody else. She has done a commendable job and turned Delhi to compete with capitals of the world and score over them in many respects despite having no control over many agencies functioning in Delhi like MCD, Police etc. Why the Govt. does not wake up and give her the powers so that she could wield them to set right many maladies which are known only to residents of various colonies.

 

Incidentally, let's start a campaign with all the RWAs to express their grievances and woes in general affecting the residents of their respective colonies in short through this media which we could consolidate and forward them to our lovable and respected Hon'ble CM for taking n/a. All our problems and difficulties could be sorted out and solved provided the govt. machinery is receptive and works with an open-mind. They have the manpower and money to solve the problems on a pragmatic and planned way which could be drawn out, if necessary, in consultation with the RWAs. This way the innovative "Bhagidari" scheme, which is the 'brain-child' of our Hon'ble CM could be enriched and brought under its umbrella. WE CAN, WE COULD AND WE SHOULD SOLVE OUR MAJOR PROBLEMS WORKING TOGETHER! Let's start this campaign in all earnestness and let it go to the corridors of power and to the notice of Hon'ble CM. 

 

As you know that in our country unless and until the problems are brought to notice of the 'highest' in the heirarcy they are not solved.  Promises made and assured by the elected representatives of Delhi, both Councillors and MLAs should be implemented in phases so that we need not approach them time and again and waste their precious time.

 

With regards and best wishes,

Why don't we lodge our strongest protest with New Zealand Embassy ?

Wellington, Oct 6 (ANI): A New Zealand television station has suspended its breakfast show host Paul Henry for mispronouncing Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's name several times in a crude manner. Henry's slurs featured as a clip on TVNZ website in which he ridicules the name of Commonwealth Games troubleshooter Sheila Dikshit. The Video Extras section of TVNZ's website promoted the Dikshit clip, which now appears to have been removed, under the heading "Paul Henry laughs about the name Dikshit", Stuff.co.nz reports. "The xxxxxxxx woman. God, what's her name? xxxxxxxx. Is it xxxxxxxx ... it looks like 'xxxxxxxx'. It's so appropriate, because she's Indian, so she'd be xxxxxxxx wouldn't she, do you know what I mean? Walking along the street ... it's just so funny," Henry said.
========================================================================

It is really strange that any body from any corner of the world just starts barking against India and Indians. India must teach them a hard lesson so that these stupids could never dare to do it again. Indian Government must take strict action against Paul Henry as he scolded not only  most respected  CM of Delhi, he also used very bad words for the term Indians. Indians must lodge strong protests at the Embassy of New Zealand in Delhi. 

It's really SHOCKING that the said video is still LIVE on the YOUTUBE. Why don't we lodge our protest with youtube to remove it immediately.
