Priyadarshini Vihar fed up with the choked sewers

The residents of Priyadarshini Vihar are fed up with the choked sewers, which flows back through the WC.  RWA is also fed up trying to complain;  8 out of 10 times  the phones are not attended by the JE, AE or the EE.  Written complaints have also been  sent to the SE with cc to Chief Engineer, without any effect.  It is despite the fact that the public is paying  a heavy sewerage charge with their water bills. 

 

2 times out of then, when the phones are attended, the DJB workers come and clear the affected sewer with bamboo sticks temporarily.  After a few months, the sewers get blocked again, because proper cleaning of the entire system with machines is not done.  I think, there is a need to knock at the door of the Chairperson (who is the CM) or the CEO of DJB and tell them to set their house in order or else people will stop paying the water bills. I request the President of the EDRWAs Joint Front to arrange a meeting and let us go as a delegation.  I am sure, this problem is not limited to Priyadarshini Vihar only.

RWC Logo

Delhi Mayor Prithvi Raj Sawhney yesterday unveiled the logo and a dedicated website for the recently launched scheme for resident ward committees - www.rwc-mc.org

Mayor unveils logo, website for resident ward committee

New Delhi, Mar 29 (PTI) Delhi Mayor Prithvi Raj Sawhney today unveiled the logo and a dedicated website for the recently launched scheme for resident ward committees, which will work as consultative bodies for local-level development. The corporation had announced the scheme for formation of RWCs earlier this month and said it will boost public participation in civic decision-making. As per the scheme, the RWCs will comprise one representative from each registered residents welfare association within a municipal ward, apart from the area junior engineer (works), sanitary inspector and section officer (horticulture). The councillors will chair the committees. The new website - www.rwc-mc.org - will have all details about the scheme and RWAs can download application forms, rules and regulations. The MCD has already issued a public notice for commencement of the scheme and said the RWAs can send a letter of nomination along with application for registration to the Chief Coordinator of RWC Management Cell under the Mayor's office. The forms must be submitted by April 15, it said. The website will also be managed by the RWC Cell. The Mayor said the link of the website will soon be made available on the MCD's site. Sawhney said the logo of RWC - made in a honeycomb pattern with a base line 'Citizens Make a City' - represents dialogue, interaction and engagement, and signifies coming together of the people towards a purpose. He said the logo was a reflection of the importance that the MCD gives to involvement of citizens in building of a city. The United Residents Joint Action (URJA), the RWA wing of NGO People's Action, has been asked to assist the Mayor's Office in execution of the scheme. Sawhney said though most of the councillors involve RWAs while deciding on development works in their areas, the new panels will "institutionalise" this system. The panels, which will meet once a month, will give suggestions on development plans and help prioritise their needs. The Mayor said the move will aid the councillors in conducting area development work in a smooth way. Leader of MCD House Subhash Arya said RWCs will act as a bridge among people, elected representatives and corporation.He had earlier said RWCs will be empowered to give suggestions on various works in the area costing up to Rs 30 lakh. Members of RWAs present at the launch felt the scheme can be beneficial. "RWAs and councillors can definitely bring a change through this scheme if they want," said Rupak Vaish, resident of GK-I and URJA representative, while New Rajinder Nagar RWA general secretary D M Narang felt it is an initiative on the lines of "bhagidari", which will benefit all.

East Delhi RWAs Joint Front

Dear Mr. Vohra ji,

I had been out of station for about a week. No sooner on my arrival I went through your number of mails. Noted the contents. You are no doubt doing an yeoman service to RWAs etc. and we find them very useful. 

My long standing wish of meeting all RWAs in batches, colony-wise, hear their outstanding issues to be resolved, collate all of them and present them to the authorities concerned, department-wise, when we meet the officials concerned at a pre-arranged meeting, which need not be attended to by all representatives of RWAs, but only a selected representatives, without fear or favour, based on their response within a fixed time-limit, which you may fix.  

The RWAs may be informed to send their grievances, all of general in nature, department-wise, either through e-mail or in a printed form (in duplicate) to your address by speed post. We could then call them one by one on a fixed time and date to interact, understand and assimilate their problems and prepare a memoranda, concise but comprehensive, topic-wise and department-wise, for presentation to the officials concerned at the highest level, with a target time fixed by mutual consent, for resolving the problems. This way we could achieve many things, which will no doubt, I am quite sanguine, will further enhance the East Front status and standing and RWAs will appreciate the sterling and pivotal role being played!!

Hope I will get a response to this outstanding and longstanding request at the earliest.

With best regards and wishes and blessings,

TK Balu

Secretary/RBECHS/Anand Vihar

comments : 

Mr.Balu is very correct. Some problems are common to all. All of want provision of CCTV CAMERAS IN BUSY MARKETS, Know fate of murder or robbery cases thana wise, say how many solved and how otheres are progressing. No system of getting complaints about high mast lighting attended in parks or commercial complexes. Since our blog is recognised all over DELHI, authorities will find difficult to ignore what we say.

cleanliness of the city

Comments of members of EDRWAsJF, RWABhagidari blog as well subscribers of the blog are being awaited.

dear shri vohra,

i have been a resident of delhi for the past 40 years and compared what used to be a beautiful city, i am shocked at the present state of the city. every one is talking about making the place livable but no one is ready to actually do anything and in turn they expect the government to do.

i run a NGO and wish to do our bit for the city. as you know, there used to be many guide maps at every colony gate and it was easy to go to any address you want easily without consulting anyone. today these guide maps are pasted with ad handouts, posters of politicians, the lot. this is the same case with public information boards like road names, important boards etc.

we plan to clean up all the public spaces. this email is basically to get your opinion on what we propose to do, as without community approval, we will be sitting ducks when interested parties will object to what we do.

there is a law to prevent defacement of public places which neither the civic authorities use nor the police, resulting in dirty street signs defaced by hooligans. we also plan to bring the offenders to book by filing trespass cases on your behalf under the necessary provisions of the law.

if our proposal comes through, we will seek your cooperation in identifying the spots to clear in each area.

with best regards

RWC formation - But why a contradiction - Clarification sought :

To,

RWC Secretariat under the Mayor’s Office, 
Municipal Corporation of Delhi, 
Town Hall,  
Delhi.

Regarding : RWC formation

Dear Sir,

While appreciating your efforts in the formation of the RWC, we have to seek a few clarifications as below :

1. The Rules say that :

1. The RWC will be constituted by nomination of one member each from each Registered RWA within the ward.
2. There will be no limit to number of RWAs so represented as long as they are registered for the formation of the RWC.

But the Application Form says that :

Two RWAs from the same colony will not be accepted. In such cases both RWAs may propose a suitable consensus candidate for nomination to the RWC.

2. The Rules say that :

1. Only RWAs that have been registered  OR  in operation for at least two years are eligible.

But the Application Form says that :

We are a registered society in operation for longer than two years*. Kindly register the name of our Association/Society in the formation of Residents Ward Committee [RWC] of our Municipal Ward with the RWC Secretariat under the Mayor’s Office, Municipal Corporation of Delhi, Town Hall, Delhi.
 
 While seeking the clarifications on these two points from your office, may we request you to give us time for meeting with you in this regard. Members of our "East Delhi RWAs Joint Front", have a lot of expectations from you.

With best regards,

B S Vohra
