Special Force To Crack Down On Land Sharks

Delhi government is getting ready for a crackdown on illegal constructions and encroachments . As an outcome of a high-level meeting with Lieutenant-Governor Tejendra Khanna earlier this month, the state government has drafted a proposal to set up a special task force with powers to go after violators. A significant point made in the proposal is that properties without a sanctioned building plan will not make it to the state registry if a sale is executed. Also new buildings without sanction plans and structural safety certificates will not be provided water and electricity connections.

 

According to top sources, a meeting chaired by Khanna at Raj Niwas on January 4 discussed the need to come down heavily on land sharks. Revival of the special task force, which had earlier virtually been a non-starter , was raised. The L-G is learnt to have underlined the urgency in the situation and given the drive the tag of Mission 2011.

The revenue department of the state government has since then proposed revival of the STF which was first set up in 1996 by the then L-G , PK Dave. To give teeth to the STF and ensure that it's effective this time, the proposal lays down a hierarcy of officials with the L-G at the top. Stringent action against not just individual violators but also builders, contractors, architects , junior engineers in charge of the area and station house officers is proposed if laws are breached. The proposal invokes relevant sections of IPC, CrPC, Delhi Municipal Corporation Act and NDMC Act.

All FIRs On Delhi Police Websites From Feb 1

Implementing the Delhi High Court verdict of last month, starting February 1, the Delhi police would upload all new FIRs its official website -- www.delhipolice.nic.in.One can download the same from the website while an accused can get also a copy from the police station by paying Rs 25.

The move comes following a direction by the Delhi High Court on December 6, 2010 when it said that an accused is entitled to get a copy of the FIR within 24 hours of its registration.

"We will be uploading the FIRs on February 1. The FIRs will be uploaded from police stations," said Rajan Bhagat, Delhi police.

An accused can apply for a copy of the FIR at a charge of Rs 25 for four pages and Rs 10 for each extra page.

The court has exempted the force from making public the FIRs related to sensitive issues like terror, espionage, rape, molestation, kidnapping etc. However, whenever it does not make FIRs public, such a decision has to be taken by an officer not below the rank of DCP and they have to inform the area magistrates.

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 1^st 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 1^{st 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 2^nd 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 4^th 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.
