Residents' fight for a free slip road

For the past eight years, the residents of Hari Nagar Ashram, Friends Colony and neighbouring areas have been forced to drive at least 2-3 kilometres extra to reach the main road and vice-versa. Reason: An individual has closed a stretch of about 100-metre long service lane with gates on its either sides. Residents claim the lane has been “illegally and forcibly closed” by an individual and it is actually part of public land. 

 

Public Works Department (PWD) officials claim the slip road or the service lane falls in its jurisdiction.

The agency has been doggedly supporting the Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA), which has been fighting the case in the high court for almost four years now.

"We have done the demarcation of the land that has been encroached upon. According to the revenue records, the lane belongs to us. We would have removed the encroachment had the individual not moved court and obtained a stay order," said a senior PWD official requesting anonymity, as he was not authorised to speak to the media.

HC issues contempt notice to L-G and DDA

NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court has issued a contempt notice against the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi on a petition highlighting disobedience of an earlier HC order. Justice G S Sistani asked the L-G, along with DDA vice-chairman and a DDA commissioner, to explain why they shouldn't be hauled up for contempt of court and fixed the matter for January.

The notice came after petitioners 'Jangpura Residents Welfare Society' through advocate R K Saini pointed out the failure of these authorities to remove an illegal structure styled as a mosque and a 'Balmiki Mandir' in the locality. The RWA drew HC's attention to the fact that even after DDA's inhouse 'religious committee' granted the green signal for removal of the structures, no action has been taken on the ground.

In 2006, the RWA had approached HC protesting the failure of municipal authorities to remove encroachments and illegal structures stunting the planned development of the colony as per the layout plan that included a green patch. The petitioners argued that this inability had robbed them of an opportunity to have a community centre and a park in their locality.

New Power Tariff Not Coming Soon

With still no sign of any agreement over the issue of power tariff, officials said the DERC may not announce new tariff plan this year. Sources in DERC said the process of inviting applications from discoms for tariff in 2011-12 has already been started and discoms will be submitting their average revenue requirement petitions soon.

 

The present year's proposed tariff plan has not found favours with the government and discoms. In fact, after the DERC made plans to announce the new tariff, the government in May stayed the order. ''It's a dead issue now and all eyes are on the next year's tariff,'' said an official.

It was earlier hinted that the delayed tariff could be announced by the end of the Commonwealth Games, but with the retirement of then chairman DERC who had mooted the lower tariff, even that is not likely to happen. Sources added that a increase in tariff is likely next year as discoms have crying about a cash flow crisis for months and even gave a presentation to the government highlighting the same.

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!
