Forget Cards, Now Shop All You Want Using Your Cellphone

 

Airtel subscribers in the city no longer need to fumble through their wallets for their credit or debit cards to make a payment. Paying for a transaction is now as simple as dialing a number from your mobile. For, the telecom giant has chosen Gurgaon as cell. India for the launch of Airtel Money, a mobile wallet service.

 

The service, which was launched in Gurgaon on Monday, enables a consumer to pay their utility bills, recharge their accounts, shop, book tickets and even pay for their groceries.

Airtel Money will subsequently be launched in Delhi-NCR and other cities in India in a phased manner.

Circle Rates Hike May Double As Centre Clears Air Over Issue

Circle rates in the city are likely to double very soon. The Central government has finally settled the controversy over the revision of property rates after the issue had reached a deadlock with chief minister Sheila Dikshit, and lieutenant governor Tejendra Khanna locking horns over the matter. It is learnt that the Union home ministry on Monday evening conveyed the legal view to the state that the subject of circle rates falls under the transferred list of subjects and hence the L-G has to act with the aid and advice of the council of ministers of the state.

 

 

This means that the decision of the cabinet prevails and the state government's decision to double the existing circle rates is likely to become a reality soon. The L-G's role is limited to giving a formal approval in this case, considering the fact that the state has been unrelenting on its stance.

Smarting from the L-G's ticking off that she was wrongly claiming credit for the success of the Commonwealth Games, Dikshit had turned the circle rate issue into a case of Raj Niwas' overbearing behaviour. The CM had apprised the Union minister for home affairs, P Chidambaram, on the issue of circle rates in November.

DJB'S WATER TARIFF VERY HIGH

I was shocked to see my water bills for the last three quarters; they  have just tripled.

The 'sewerage charge' is as high as 60%, for sewers which are never cleaned and overflow all the time.  More astonishing is the 'service tax' which is charged on per month basis; whereas it should always be some percentage of the total consumption charges. In addition, there  is 'pollution surcharge'.  We don't know what DJB is doing to protect our environment?  These seem to be arbitrary decisions.

 

I think, the Joint Front should take this matter up with the CEO of DJB in the interest of the residents of Delhi.

Co operative house building societies and residents

Our madhuvan co operative society was registered in 1961 and know as DELHI OFFICERS CO OP?HOUSE BUILDING SOCIETY LTD.
We paid demands raised from time to time as funds were required to develop roads, parks etc.etc.
I think around 45 lacs was collected and total plots are 225.
In eighties services were handed over to MCD Delhi and members wanted to know price of their share.
There after, land was allotted for community centre and funds were raised to build and furnish CC.
But share price never worked out.
My question is...
Is it statuary requirement to work out share value since assets increase or decrease every year.
Now our member strength is 147 against 225 as some members died but no family member applied for membership.
Is society competent to terminate membership...if so what procedure is to be adopted and what payment is to be paid to kith and kin of members whose membership has been terminated.
Kindly advise in view of position thus explained above

OUR WATER MAINS ARE INSIDE INDIVIDUAL PLOTS MADHUVAN

Pardon my writing frequently about my colony madhuvan.
I am alarmed about encroachments, non burning of high mast lights, about complicity of police staff staff regarding traffice violations......
But believe me these are nothing as compared to which i am going to narrate below.
You are aware that madhuvan was name assigned to delhi officers co op house building society ltd new delhi.
Land was allotted in accordance with agreement executed by madhuvan society..one part and second part..president of india.
I was really at my wits end to see huge water quantity gushing from three points into ornamental park of MADHUVAN...just back of my house.
To day i came to know that ganga water or main water pipes have been laid inside plot of houses from 95 to 99.
Since water pipes are around forty years old, there is leakage here and there.
Due to this heavy leakage...there is low water pressure in surrounding areas.
How water pipes of colony could be laid inside private properties is a matter of concern and needs to be investigated.
Since our president of rwa has resigned and resignation accepted...i am president of Madhuvan RWA.
But i will prefer to be rembered as vice president

Encroachments and administration

Action to remove enrichments must have blessings of police, local mla and councillor.
Our AC Agarwal retired IAS officers have been fighting for more than twenty years .
MCD admitted twenty six encroachments even in a colony like MADHUVAN new Delhi 110092.
This was admitted BY MCD in a reply filed by them in response to second appeal before CIC.
Start action where it hurt mosts.
Also have a look around MADHUVAN POLICE STATION area.
All type of commercial vehicles like buses mini trucks are parked 365 days and twenty four hours in space reserved for cars and scooters.
Let us act.
Words cannot replace actions.
Even complaints to VIGILANCE are ignored.
Just move from MADHUVAN TO PREET VIHAR.
You cannot walk on foot paths.
Let us make Delhi city of law abiding citizens and not law breakers.

Govt To Formulate IT Act, May Declare 2011 As Digital Delhi Year

In a bid to make Delhi a digital Capital, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Thursday instructed the Information Technology Department to continue its innovative projects to ensure e-enabled services in the national Capital. 

She also gave a green signal to a proposal relating to finalisation of IT Act of Delhi to enable the department to function as a Nodal Agency and bring uniformity and coordination in IT-related projects being implemented by various departments and other Government agencies. The Delhi Government is also considering declaring 2011 as `Digital Delhi Year'.

According to sources, IT Department has informed that various Delhi Government departments are not interested to take help from 3D Geospatial Mapping. The Geospatial mapping relates to keeping a close eye on entire Delhi with installation of more than 50 mega cameras on rooftop of multi-storeyed buildings. The cameras will have a range of 5 kms to capture everything what is going to happen under the sky. 

It may capture all such activities which may deserve immediate action by the authorities to curb crimes, unauthorised constructions, disruptive activities including terrorist attacks and natural disasters which call for immediate response including relief and rehabilitation etc. The input provided by the mega cameras will be of much use to the police, Revenue Department, Disaster Management Authority, Delhi Fire Service, and broadcasters.

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.
