Educational hoarding in your society as advertisement against some money.....

An advertising concern is willing to put Society Ads by way of Hoardings on colony gates,  Lift Wraps and other promotional activity on behalf of some educational client in various societies / localities.  They are willing to pay some money in this regard to cover expenses of  the  RWAs. You have to tell the rate slab  against which you can provide the space for above advertisements. Plz mention the number of persons living in your society.

If interested, plz mail us immediately.

Best regards

Wife of Mr B S Talwar robbed.....

Dear Sir,
 
We are very angry and sad as the wife of one of our M.C. colleagues is robbed.  We have  fullsympathies with Mr and Mrs Talwar.  However, such incidents have become so common that they go unnoticed unless one of our own is victimized.  A very sorry state of affairs!!
 
Tonnes of fake ghee, khoya, milk, spices, and other edible products are caught and very proudly shown on the TV.The culprits are also caught in many cases. These rogues are playing with the health and life of hundreds and thousandsof our people. What happens to them?  Nothing!  They are let off after completing some formalities, to do more heinous crimes. I can bet, nothing is going to improve, unless those caughts red handed are shot dead in full public view.  If the law does not permit, it is time to change such law.  There is a saying, "maar ke aage bhoot bhi natchta hai",  but if there is no maar (punishment) how can a bhoot dance!

Big-Ticket Projects Spur Makeover Of East Delhi

The makeover of east Delhi has not happened in a day. And it has not happened cheap.

According to conservative estimates, a slew of infrastructure projects of big and small scale all aimed at making commute easy for that part of the city have cost the state exchequer in the range of Rs 1,500-2,000 crore in the past four-five years. This is apart from the first Metro line that was opened in 2002 between Shahdara and Tis Hazari that made a world of difference to the till then ill-connected part of the city.


 
PWD has executed 10-odd major projects in the area, including Rajaram Kohli Marg flyover, UP Link Road, Apsara Border flyover, ITO Chungi, Ghazipur flyover and the Anand Vihar flyover. It naturally helped that for a long time the PWD minister of the city had been A K Walia, who has represented Lakshmi Nagar for as long as the Delhi Assembly has been in existence. Execution has always been efficient.

Thieves strike Games accessories

Dear friend,
 
It is bound to happen! Even during the Games, it is reported, a number of things vanished the moment the event was over and/or the competition is over at that particular venue.  This is our inherent/inborn character! It is difficult to check at every point and at every moment. I remember when the Asiad-82 was over even carpets and other furnitures provided in the Media lounge at various stadia and in the Asian Games Village at Siri Fort Auditorium vanished overnight and found place at the residences of high-ups and others! You may also be surprised to know that the Special Organizing Committee constituted for the purpose of holding the Asiad-82 was never wound up for over two decades after the Games were over and the then Secretary General was being paid and owning a car on SOC account for a pretty long period and even the assets were not taken over by the SAI. All HMT watches with Asiad logo were eaten away by the batteries which were never removed from the watches and had to be thrown away! Rest is a big story!
 
Hence it is rightly said: Govt. funds and natural resources placed at the disposal of officials who wield power are looted at will by anyone. When something impersonal as the government takes our money and allows itself to be robbed, it is too far removed for us to comprehend!
 
Hindustan may sab chalta hai! Thonu ki thaklif hai!

Their Game Plan A Flop, Owners Look For Other Options

 
For property owners in the city, the Bed-and-Breakfast scheme was advertised as a great means to earn money during the Commonwealth Games. People with spare bedrooms readily took up the scheme and readied their homes to receive guests, but with only 75,000 visitors coming to the city during the Games and with many of them opting for hotels, most of the newly constructed 1,300 rooms went empty.

Consequently, owners are increasingly losing interest and some of them, who had obtained a three-year licence in 2008, are shutting down business to rent out their establishments as soon as the licence expires next year.

Surinder Singh, a housewife living in West Punjabi Bagh, told Newsline that she will turn her 2-bedroom Bed- and-Breakfast establishment into a paying guest accommodation for girls, once her licence expires next April. "I did not receive a single guest during the entire Games season despite spending lakhs on renovation," she said. Some property owners who had obtained the licence in 2008 let go of the properties even before the Games began as they were not making any money. Talking to Newsline, Rina Ray, Managing Director of the Delhi Tourist and Transportation Development Corporation, said not all establishments have made losses and many places received a good number of guests during the Games. "Real Bed-and- Breakfast establishments where guests live as family are successful. The ones which saw less guests are run like guesthouses," she said.

Sleeping Security: Thieves Strike Games Accessories

City's civic agencies stretched themselves out to make it look beautiful for the Commonwealth Games. But maintaining the looks is turning into a nightmare for them.
Hundreds of potted plants that adorn the streets of Delhi are missing from places such as Yamuna Sports Complex, Games Village, Model Town and Sardar Patel Marg. In addition to this, reflectors, noise barriers, dustbin covers, wall wraps, fittings of streetlights, railings and even the tiles that were laid before the Games have started disappearing.

Noise barriers that were put up on the Rao Tula Ram Marg flyover and reflectors from Geeta Colony Bridge have also disappeared.

Not only this, illuminated Shera which were put up at a number of bus stands in the city have also been dismantled and the vinyl posters, tubelights have been stolen.

57 mn more men than women worldwide: Report

There are 57 million more men than women globally, the UN said in a report to mark the World Statistics Day.

The report titled The World's Women 2010: Trends and Statistics, was released by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) Wednesday, Xinhua reported.

The UN General Assembly in June this year proclaimed October 20 as World Statistics Day to recognise the importance of statistics in shaping societies.

The report showed that women globally have 'benefited' from the gender statistics in the last decade.

It said Europe has more women than men. But in some of the most populous countries, there is a shortage of women, such as in China where the ratio is 108 men per 100 women.
