Meeting with dy.commissioner east bhagidari

I was really happy that during last ten year , first time an officer has come who knows his powers,realises that colonial days are over and officers must realise they are there to accelerate improvement in civic life.
I was encouraged to make following suggestions
Meeting schedule must be e mailed,SMSed and through courier so that bhagidars come fully prepared.
Nodal officers must be made responsible to understand they represent concerned departments. ONLY NODAL OFFICERS MUST BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND?
Department wise meetings should be held.
One meeting say for police
Second for MCD and third for DDA matters.
Old items appearing on agenda for the last three years could be picked.
MOST OF ITEMS DO NOT REQUIRE FUNDS BUT administrative action.
KINDLY offer your comments on this.
Mr.VOHRA IS DOING EXCELLENT in spreading bhagidari movement messages.
Three cheers to him.

Taking picture of vehicle must before towing

NEW DELHI: After getting many complaints against cops demanding bribes with threats of towing away vehicles , Delhi Traffic Police have asked all contractors who provide cranes to the department to come equipped with a digital camera.

"Starting Friday, it will become mandatory for traffic personnel to take a picture of the vehicle errantly parked before attempting to tow it away. Towing a vehicle without taking a picture will be illegal. This will not just ensure that no bribes are taken by the traffic cops, but also help in keeping proof of the errant vehicle, if required," explained joint commissioner of police (traffic) Satyendra Garg.

In a new order issued to the dozen-odd private contractors who supply the 58 cranes to Delhi Traffic Police, both the contractor as well as the traffic personnel will become liable if they attempt to tow a vehicle without taking a picture of the vehicle first. Each of the contractors signed the new contract on Monday.

"It has been found that traffic constables demand bribe in exchange of not towing away an errantly parked vehicle or threaten to tow away a vehicle if not given a bribe even if the vehicle is not flouting any norms. The new order should be able to curb the problem," explained a senior traffic police officer.

Europe 'losing' superbugs battle












The emergence of antibiotic-resistant infections has reached unprecedented levels and now outstrips our ability to fight it with existing drugs, European health experts are warning.

Each year in the EU over 25,000 people die of bacterial infections that are able to outsmart even the newest antibiotics.

The World Health Organization says the situation has reached a critical point.

A united push to make new drugs is urgently needed, it says.

Without a concerted effort, people could be dealing with the "nightmare scenario" of worldwide spread of untreatable infections, says the WHO. 

One example is the New Delhi or NDM-1 superbug recently found in UK patients.

They brought the infection back with them from countries like India and Pakistan, where they had visited for medical treatment and cosmetic surgery.

Becoming untreatable
These superbugs are resistant to carbapenem antibiotics, which is concerning for experts because they are some of our most powerful weapons and are used for hard-to-treat infections that evade other drugs.

The Cardiff University researchers, who made the discovery last August, now say bacteria with this new genetic resistance to antibiotics have contaminated New Delhi's drinking water supply, meaning millions of people there could be carriers. 

Dr Timothy Walsh and his team collected 171 swabs of seepage water and 50 public tap water samples from sites within a 12km radius of central New Delhi between September and October 2010. 

The NDM-1 gene was found in two of the 50 drinking-water samples and 51 of 171 seepage samples.

Worryingly, the gene had spread to bacteria that cause dysentery and cholera, which can be easily passed from person to person via sewage-contaminated drinking water.

"Oral-faecal transmission of bacteria is a problem worldwide, but its potential risk varies with the standards of sanitation.

Superbug in Delhi's water, say UK experts

NEW DELHI: A superbug immune to almost all known antibiotics has been found in Delhi's water. British scientists said they have found the New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM) 1 gene that makes bacteria highly resistant to all known drugs in the capital's public water supply used for drinking, washing and cooking.

In August last year, after announcing the existence of this superbug created by the NDM1 gene, scientists had said it was hospital-acquired.

"Now, we know it is not present in hospital ICUs but is actually freely circulating in Delhi's environment, both in the water people drink and those that lay stagnant," Dr Mark Toleman from Cardiff university told TOI.

"Drinking contaminated water will help the superbug enter our bodies. However, we still don't know how many in the population are already carrying the superbug," Toleman said.

The most worrying factor was that the NDM1 gene had already spread to the bacteria that causes cholera and dysentery in India, the scientists said. Their findings were published in British medical journal 'The Lancet Infectious Diseases' on Thursday.

A fight against corruption





















Born on : Jun 15, 1938

Birth Place : Bhingar, Maharashtra

Can a fast-unto-death by a 73-year-old lead to a historic step towards abolishing corruption in government offices? We believe it can.

Corruption in India has made global headlines more frequently than ever in the last year. Anna Hazare's initiative, therefore, comes at a time when our country's image has taken a beating. With the tabling of an effective Lokpal bill, India can well be on its way to salvaging its reputation.

Let us all raise our voices in support for a movement that will bring in transparency.
