Delhi: Now Pay Your Property Tax Till March 31

Seeking to increase its revenue and give an opportunity to tax defaulters, the MCD today extended till March 31 the last date for its two ongoing schemes for settlement of property tax cases.

Chairman of Standing Committee Yogender Chandolia said on public demand, MCD has extended the last date of the scheme for settlement of ex-parte assessments under old system of assessment (rateable value) as well as the unit area method.

The schemes were to be closed yesterday.

"The extension of time period will help the defaulting taxpayers who could not avail of the opportunity so far. The settlement scheme provides waiver of interest and penalty amount, subject to up-to-date payment of property tax. The taxpayers would be required to pay only the actual amount of tax accruable each year," an official said.

Another Ammonia Scare In River, Delhi Again Forced To Curtail Water Production

 

In a span of just 15 days, Delhi was again forced to curtail water production at the Wazirabad and Chandrawal water treatment plants after level of ammonia in raw water went up substantially on Tuesday due to high levels of pollutants. Union minister for environment Jairam Ramesh asked the Central Pollution Control Board to submit a report to him on the issue by Wednesday noon.

"I have asked CPCB to send team for field inspection immediately and report by 12 noon on Wednesday," he told TOI on Tuesday. The minister had written to CMs of Delhi and Haryana last week, asking them to take steps to curtail pollution levels in Yamuna.

According to Delhi Jal Board officials, the level of ammonia in water on Tuesday went up to 1 part per million (PPM) against the permissible 0.6ppm. "At 1pm, we were forced to curtail production by 35% in both plants, which have a combined capacity of 210 million gallons per day. By evening, the situation had improved and levels had come down to 0.7ppm but full production could not be started. We are waiting for ammonium level to decrease further," said a DJB official.

Jeweller shot dead .......................

Dear Mr. Vohra ji,

It is really shocking and shows how life has become so cheap for the thugs etc. There is no safety and security of people and their properties. Rule of law-breakers is widely prevailing and there is no fear of punishment and they are bold enough that they would not caught or nabbed.  This is all due to our low-morality and lack of unity and feeling of oneness. We have become so self-centered and selfish, we hardly bother about our neighbours. No more preachings and fear of God! We have reached or reaching a 'jungle raj'! There is no rule of law and Police, mainly due to acute shortage and guarding the so called VIPs, aam aadmi are suffering and will continue to suffer. You will be shocked to learn that at the innumerable of marriages that take place at the CBT ground near Surajmal Vihar, rampant thefts are taking place and for the last two days in succession jewelries of both brides and bridegrooms have been looted by unknown miscreants! At one place jewels worth a few lakhs have been lost forever and there is no clue! Time is not far of when dacoits will knock at your door and snatch whatever they find with dire consequences.  We have to face it!  What is the remedy? No technological devises will solve the problem. Any solutions! Let the readers suggest remedies to this rampant malady!?

With regards,

TK Balu

Secretary/RBECHS/Anand Vihar

Sir, a blind cannot read without light, a crowd cannot achieve any success without a leader and a nation cannot fight eradicate corruption without WILL POWER.
High officers are suffering from lure of money and gold.
Could not imagine that a CMD OF PUBLIC SECTOR WILL BE CAUGHT WITH TEN KG OF GOLD.
WE MUST EVOLVE SYSTEM OF QUICK DISPOSAL OF SUCH CASES.
LOOK.AROUND EUROPE or other continents.
Guilty are punished without fear and delay.
Here even heinous crimes.like murder in crowded market of krishan nagar may not be solved or criminal punished in ten years.
We fail to install CCTV which could help to reduce traffic related offences.

Jeweller shot dead in Krishna Nagar .....

Dear Vohra ji,

 

It is really shocking even to hear such incidents.  This incident of dacoity has taken place in a crowded market and that to in a day light.  The main question is that the dacoits are so dareing and do not have the fear of whatsoever nature of the police or public.  If such like situation continues to prevail, what will be the future of this country.  Where the law abiding person will be living?  Imagine, if this daring incident has happened in a very old and reputed colony, what will be the fate of new colonies in the NCR.  What the Police is doing?  What for Beat Officers are posted?  

 

 

I remember, in one of the meetings with the ACP at Geeta Colony Police Station, the representatives of the Krishan Nagar Shopkeepers Association clearly indicated that the intention of Police officials deployed in the market is to mint money rather than providing security to general public or the shopkeepers.  They (Accociation) were against the encroachment on the footpaths by anybody and requested to take stringent action against this violation.  We do not have the system to have a check antecedents of the Rehariwala or Patriwala.  Who knows who is making planning of the Dacoity.  The main question is whether the polcie, politicians etc are sincere to eradicate corruption, encroachment of public land, which is one of the root cause of such incidents?

 

Regards.

Crime rising, east Delhi traders hit road : Times of India

Stop Traffic, Claim Police Won’t Take Action Against Criminals Unless Paid Bribes

Dwaipayan Ghosh | TNN

New Delhi: A day after a 29-yearold jeweller was murdered by four armed assailants inside his shop during a robbery in Krishna Nagar, east Delhi, RWAs and trader associations hit the road, protesting against the police inability to protect them. The traders shut down all shops in the Lal Quarter area for the entire day. 

    “We blocked traffic on Road 57 (Karkardooma Court-Anand Vihar route) and sought alms from the people so that we can provide the money to the police. Until we grease their palms, they will not protect us,’’ said Sandip Kapoor, secretary of the Krishna Nagar Residents Welfare Association. The RWA claimed they collected Rs 500 by the evening. 

    As a result of the protest, traffic between Shahdara in northeast Delhi and Anand Vihar in east Delhi came to a standstill for over three-and-a-half hours. The effect was felt on Seelampur approach road and the Karkardooma crossing clogged even as cops diverted vehicles through other roads. Schoolchildren, returning home, suffered worst of the jams and Times City saw at least three school buses stuck on the road. 

 

    Locals said there is spurt in crime in the area. “Chain snatchings are a daily affair. Recently, there were three big robberies at Son Bazar, Jheel Kuranji and near Guddu Bakery. The owner of Gambhir Medical was shot at by unidentified assailants inside his shop in Jagatpuri. Khandelwal Medical Store was looted. My house has seen two burglaries in the last seven days. And people tell of a few criminals riding a black Pulsar who have struck four times in the past few days near Cross River Mall in Anand Vihar,” said B S Vohra, president of the east district RWA joint front. 

 

    On Thursday, a curfew like situation prevailed inside Krishna Nagar. With cops cracking down on two-wheelers, vendors and even rickshawpullers, Lal Quarters — usually bustling with energy — looked like a ghost town. Over 500 people had gathered outside the Gambhir residence. On Road 57 near Swarn cinema another 250 protestors kept traffic at bay. 

    A few metres ahead, cops from three police stations — Geeta Colony, Farsh Bazar and Krishna Nagar —kept a close watch. “We are not going to push things. Our investigation has proved that the accused knew their way through the narrow bylanes of Krishna Nagar. We are trying to find out the route taken by the accused. Their modus operandi hints at involvement of a couple of gangs who were active here earlier. We do not want to divulge the details right now,” said DCP (east) O P Mishra. 

    The police said they were investigating if the beat policing needs a change. “We are mulling ID cards for all outsiders who plan to enter this area. All two-wheelers will be checked and movement of those who have come out of jails recently will be checked. We will advise jewellers to put up CCTV cameras and locks to ensure their safety. Police will meet RWAs and traders associations in the coming days,’’ said Mishra. The probe of Gambhir’s murder case has been handed over to the special staff. Police sources said the SHO of Krishna Nagar might be suspended after being sent to the police lines.

UP IN ARMS: Traffic was badly affected in east Delhi due to the agitation by traders and other residents of Krishna Nagar.

Jeweller Shot Dead in Krishna Nagar

In a shocking incident in Krishna Nagar, a Jeweller was shot dead, last evening, in a daring Dacoity, in the  broad day light. Gaurav Gambhir, owner of Gambhir Jewellers, in the busy Lal quarter Market in Krishna nagar, died after he was shot at Three times. Three persons wearing helmets entered his shop and while escaping with the loot, the dacoits, shot him dead on his resistance. 

 

The incident was so shocking that soon all the markets were closed and the Traders as well Residents joined in the massive protests. Road number 57 was Jammed in the evening itself for half an hour and again today morning, a large number of protesters, blocked the road for over 3 hours. Dr Harshwardhan ( MLA ), Dr. Monga ( Councillor ), Mr Rajesh Gaud ( Councillor ) joined in this protest.

Krishna Nagar, The first DLF colony is a biggest retail market in East Delhi. While Lal Quarter has all type of routine shops, Chachi building is well known for woolens. Main Road has all the prominent Banks such as HDFC, ICICI, SBI, PNB, SBI B&J, UCO etc. along with many shops of Fridge & TV items. Central park has All the prominent Jewellers on one side & nearby.

The area, mostly crowded all the time has no proper security arrangements. No CCTV cameras, no screening of incomers, no proper checking of vehicles, makes it vulnerable. Chain snatching, Purse & Mobile snatching are so common incidents, which dont attract attention of even the residents. Incidents of Bikers removing Gold bangles have also occured here.

The area requires proper security arrangements, with CCTV cameras, with proper screening of incoming persons & vehicles, so that no more of lives and money is lost. We request to the area MP, MLA & Councillor to look into it very seriously.
