Unsystematic ( pick & Choose) Survey / Sealing of Buildinds in Ward no.221

This is a very serious matter and need to be reacted immediately. One expert body from an Instituion originally was brough when the building collapsed in Lalita Park. Only dangerous buildings were to be taken questioned but it is correct that MCD are adopting their criteria creating a panic in the whole lalita Park. In my opinion, a meeting of all the affiliates should be called and dcide the strategy to stop this menace.

Thanks and regards.

Unsystematic ( pick & Choose) Survey / Sealing of Buildinds in Ward no.221

M.C.D. working in Question

Unsystematic ( pick & Choose) Survey / Sealing of Buildinds in Ward no.221

Lalita Park building collapse took the life of 70 people and wounded as much. M.C.D. come in action after the collapse of building and started surveying the buildings. In the 1st phase M.C.D. issued notice of sealing 38 Buildings of the area and then all of sudden action shifted on other buildings reasons best known to M.C.D. Authorities. M.C.D. appointed a team of engineers and others called survey team. It was undoubted clear that survey will be pick & choose method than MCD team was advised to arrange videography while surveying the area but for no result. The survey was so unsystemic that on 1st day they sealed the buildings of Lalita Park Gali no 1 to 3 that is also without any criteria of distance from pusta, height of building. In 1 to 3 number gali on 1st day they left the buildings of most dangerous Zone that is along with pusta and others buildings of Gali no 1 to3 (neary ten more buildings ).On 2nd day MCD people leave the rest area of Lalita Park went to other area and after a week or so they came again to Lalita Park and sealed the building by pick and choose method up to gali No. 6 and most of building has not been sealed. This was repeated but area along with pusta was not touched and buildings in gali no 8to 12 were not touched.

The following questions are being raised by the public of the area of ward no 221 that is Krishna Kunj Municipal ward

1. What are the criteria of ceiling of the buildings?

2. Can the survey team included the area which is beyond 300 meters

3. Can the construction of 4th floor ascertained with out entering in the premises

4. Was it not necessary to take in to belief the local RWA to know the owner / occupant of the Building?

5. Numbers of houses effected in survey.

6. Number of house not effected in survey.

7. Are the houses not served notice considered to be authorized?

8. The same number of buildings one building sealed another not sealed.

9. Any toll free or telephone number immediate complaint.

10. It is fact that dangerous zone area along with pusta of 186 houses which is adjacent to pusta has been left while surveying/ sealing if yes then reason there there of.

11. Were power given to sealing squad not to disclose the criteria of sealing when requested by senior citizens but to misbehave with them by saying 300 meters distance has not been measured by tape but taken as per their will.

12. Is it fact that buildings left in survey and ceiling has deposited rupees one lac to Rs. 2 lac per buildings as compound charges to the MCD.

In the end it intimated a local survey is being conducted by this RWA. The correct position will be available with us and we will display the same in our RWA Bhagidari Bog.

There seems to be great violation and remedy for this is to take survey/sealing team to the building not surveyed / sealed intentionally in front of public of the area .

If proved action be taken publicly or judicial enquiry in the probe be ordered.

Will Speed Up Work On Repairing Potholed Roads, Clearing Debris Next Fiscal: MCD


The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Tuesday said more emphasis will be put on repairing Delhi's potholed roads by the Engineering department in the next fiscal year. The Works department of the civic body added that they will also come up with a new system to ensure quicker debris removal.
  The proposals were made at the Budget Session of the MCD on Tuesday, where the Budget from various committees were presented before the Standing Committee.

With regard to bettering infrastucture at MCD-run schools, chairman of the MCD Works Committee Jagdish Mamgain said 60 classrooms have been built in eight months since April last year, and work is on to construct 2,433 more. The civic body will focus on tackling all shortcomings to ensure permanent structures for students of MCD primary schools, he added. The Delhi High Court had recently rapped the civic body for failing to provide permanent buildings for many of its schools and running them from tents.

"From April 1 to November 30 last year, 13 school buildings were completed and 60 classrooms constructed. Work is in progress at 154 schools with 2,433 new classrooms," Mamgain said, presenting the 201112 budget for the committee.

Congratulations !

Dear shri Vohraji,

Congratulations on your successful completion of one year of website launch and being felicitated by Delhi CM in this period.I wish you all the best in your endeavor of selfless community service. Please keep it up.

In the past you have informed us all on highhanded unilateral attitude of Delhi Jal Board in raising its charges. In this connection I wish to bring to your notice that I have received bill No. 226637 dated 05.01.11 for Rs. 730 being the charges for the period from 27.07.10 to 09.11.10 including Rs.200 levied as ad hoc amount W.E.F. 01.10.10 for domestic non working meters. My meter No. RMCO DJB was installed by the DJB has not been working since long. As the meter was installed by DJB it is their responsibility to keep it running. In the event of its being defective they are required to replace it. On contacting them personally I was advised that DJB will replace all such defective meters which were installed by them. If it is there commitment I cannot understand why Rs. 200 for nonworking meter been levied when it is their meter and they are supposed to maintain it? It is likely that some of the residents in your area may have received similar bills.

Though I have paid the bill under protest I shall appreciate your taking up the matter with concerned authorities for reversing uncalled for levy. If it is not possible for them to do so they should inform for what period the ad hoc charges been levied and why?

Thanking you and with best regards

S.N.Malik
