Delhi – 110092

Subject : Our meeting at the DC’s office as well your ROUND of the area on 19^th February at 4 pm.

Dear Sir,

We are facing the Traffic Jam problems as below :

1. On Mandir Marg, F Block at Road number 57, there is acute problem of Traffic jam due to the BIKERS from Inner lane, who intersect in between the Flow of traffic on every Green Light towards road number 57. This not only results into inconvenience to the flow of traffic as well causes chances of accidents & it was OBSERVED BY YOU during your visit of the area.

We REQUEST you to please ENHANCE the DIVIDER upto the end of the Road so that the Bikers could get no way there & the flow of traffic remains smooth.

2. The Mandir Marg road has a bottleneck in between Vaishay Dharam Shala & Happy school intersection. As a result there is HEAVY TRAFFIC JAM on this stretch during Peak Hours as well at any other time. Ambulances as well Fire Brigade vehicles can offen be viewed in the Jam. The Residents are suffering from Noise as well Air Pollution in addition to the constant Traffic Jams on the road.

We REQUEST you to Instal a Red Light at Happy School Intersection so that the Traffic could be managed properly to solve the problem of Traffic Jam to a greater extent.

We are now LOOKING for the necessary steps in this regard from your side so that RESIDENTS of the Area could get a Sigh of Relief.

Thanks & regards

Property Tax payment scam !

In the wake of a spate of scams and corruptions at the national level, the capital’s MCD is no exception!

It is shocking to bear and hear that the MCD’S Property Tax office at Geeta Colony had not maintained any records of the payments made by law-abiding citizens for over a period of ten years, albeit the people concerned have  made payment of the tax due regularly and always well in advance and fortunately kept a record of such receipts issued by the MCD Property Tax office itself!

It is seen from their records that no entries of the payments made have been entered in their ‘official registers’, so far on the pretext of ‘shortage of staff’ over a period of time and consequently those who have made the payments have been directed ‘officially’ to produce the original receipts and make available the photocopies of the same to them, so that they could now make necessary entries in the registers!  Can you, by any stretch of imagination in this 21^st century of e-governance, which we wish to implement, the records in the MCD’s Property Tax Office are still being maintained manually and that too had not been done for the last over 10 years!!

This Society (Anand Vihar) had protested against this state of affairs for not fault of their law-abiding citizens, who always make payment of dues to the Govt., whether electricity/water/gas/phone bills etc. periodically, so that their connections are not arbitrarily cut by such agencies and make payment of the property tax, as well, annually much before the target date fixed by the Govt.

For this purpose this Society had been arranging ‘collection camp’ annually for the last over 5 years in our Society’s premises by getting the officials of the Property Tax office, arrange to collect the duly filled-in forms from all residents and make them available to the officials concerned at the spot for which receipts are also given on the spot.  The money-starved MCD gets at one spot and on one day over Rs.10 lakhs towards property tax payment! In addition the visiting officials are ‘looked after well’ too! Despite all these efforts made by our Society, the MCD Property Tax office at Geeta Colony had not kept any record and made necessary entries towards payments on their official registers!!

It is strange and shocking for the ‘inaction’ of the babus in the Property Tax Office, the senior citizens and others in our colony have been made to suffer on this account who had been asked to produce the old receipts immediately!!! Can you imagine the amount of time, energy and mental torture faced by the residents!  Is there no remedy? Why aam aadmi should face all these onslaughts for such a callous and irresponsible action of the babus! Will the officials of the Property Tax office of the MCD reply to this scandal and scam? We don’t expect or hope unless and until some high-ups at the helm of affairs intervene in and set the matters right before the commencement of the ensuing financial year which is only a month ahead!

cancellation of music concert in Delhi

Sir,

Cancellation of music concert by an international artist may look to be a trivial issue. But this shows our incompetence to organise even a music event in capital of INDIA. No wonder delhi was conaidered a big village. Police has taken the flak. But heads must role. . If we care for niceties.

Lights .....

Dear Mr. Vohra ji,

I do share Shri Ghei's plight re. mast lights in parks. For instance the mast light in our park opp. to D-27-28 Anand Vihar is not functioning at all for the last few months and any number of complaints is unheard and unresponded! How we could overcome such plight.  Hence the entire park is in darkness and children cannot play at all.  With ensuing summer holidays etc. where the children could go is anybody's imagination! The local Councillor is totally unresponsive and looks after, sorry to say, his own community people although he got elected from our Constituency. Perhaps as we go to Gurudwara or temple, we have to visit and worship them daily or time and again at their residence ceaselessly to get anything done. No amount of memorandums etc. given to them are followed up except making 'false promises' time and again on which we feel happy!

In this piquant situation, whom we have to approach to redress our grievances!  Can you help?

With regards,
