Is there any space left on Delhi roads, to give way to these Emergency Vehicles ?

with thanks : Hindustan Times : link above.

Hope this rule is not misused, as in most of the area's, there is no space left on the Delhi roads, to give way to these Emergency vehicles.  Many a times, we just pray to GOD on listening Sirens of  an Ambulance or a Fire Brigade vehicle. Even the limited & tired DTP staff is strengthless to help these vehicles. DTP must ensure that, this new rule, though necessary, is not misused.

What next ?

Predict next date - when milk prices will be hiked !

Just count FOUR months & revise the prices of Milk. It has become a routine. February 2010, July 2010, December 2010 & now last day of April 2011. You can check the time difference of appx. FOUR months which shows a PATTERN & not the necessity to revise the prices. One can follow this pattern & predict that now the prices will be revised in SEPTEMBER 2011.

And the impact, budget of every house hold is revised. 

Even the Rikshaw wala will ask high. 

Is there no Check ?

माँ गुजर चुकी हैं पापा दारू पीकर पड़ा रहता हैं बड़ा भाई और उसका दोस्त काम करवाते हैं पूछने पर बताया कि भाई भी कूड़ा बीनता हैं और इस पैसे से चीज खायेंगे पापा कुछ काम नहीं करते.और हमारी कालोनी में बहुत सारे बच्चे इस तरह का काम करते हैं. जिससे चरम रोग, कुपोषण, लीवर जैसी बीमारिया सभी को हो रखी हैं . अगर सरकार चाहे तो इन बच्चो के उत्थान के लिए काफी कुछ कर सकती हैं.

मेरे अंदाज से दिल्ली के जे जे कालोनी व अन्य झुग्गियों में लगभग तीस हजार बच्चे इस तरह के हैं. अगर हमसब पहल करे और इस विषय को मंच पर लाये तो शायद इन बच्चो के लिए कोई हाथ आगे बढ सकता हैं

सरकार अपनी खीचतान में लगी हैं और दिल्ली राजधानी होकर भी बच्चे इस तरह का शापित जीवन जीने को मजबूर हैं - इन बच्चो का तो कोई दोष नहीं हैं अगर माँ मर गयी या बापू दारू पिता हैं तो आखिर इंसानों कि बीच रहते हैं अब इस तरह के विषयों को भी मंच मिलना चाहिए केवल फाइलों में बहुत काम हो चूका सारा पैसा देश से बहार हैं और जाता ही जा रहा हैं हमारे देश के बच्चे भूखे हैं, बीमार हैं , नशे के आदि हो गए हैं,

EMPOWERMENT OF RWAs

Dear Sir,

 

I don't know what happened to the FIR registered against the office bearers of the concerned RWA in the Noida sisters death case.  The MCD guidelines for installation of security gates hold the RWA office bearers accountable and responsible on account of non-functioning of iron security gates in their respective colonies (item 3.q); and now, I don't know how they (govt.) would treat the volunteers nominated by the RWAs to assist the govt officials in issuing the Unique ID cards.

 

A few days back, on this blog I suggested as to how long we would continue to quietly accept all this.  It is time that the Joint Front take up the issue of empowerment of RWAs at the CM level. If someone does not pay the property tax, you threaten to confiscate the property;  what can the RWAs do if residents don't pay their subscriptions or co-operate in many other ways?  Nothing!

But what's about Talkatora Gardens play ground ?

"DON'T  BE  SELFISH  GIANT "  HC  TO  RWA" : 
But what's about Play grounds in the Talkatora Garden ?

Talkatora Garden Play Grounds, under NDMC, have been destroyed and a small  play ground-portion left is now under lock and key and NOT allowed to play Foot Ball and Hockey at all ?

NDMC Chairman, who has ordered this closer, as per watchmen,  may not be knowing that in 1950- 60s-70s there were 2 Full size Football Grounds, 2 Full size Hockey Grounds and in the Corner of Hockey Grounds a small practice Pitch for Cricket was there and more than 100 players use to play there only every day in the evenings and on Sundays too.

Veteran Foot Ball Players, have been playing on these grounds since 1960, The list of National and International Football players, shall be too long to mention; were produced from These grounds only and now we just play for Not more than 2 Hours at 7.30 AM to 9.30 AM on SUNDAYS only BUT the NDMC Garden- employees call PCR every Sunday to push us out of Ground ??

Many School/College players those who come and play with us as they get free coaching as well as get a good chance to play with National/ State Football players too are bitter with this NDMC order.

My question is who knows Talkatora Garden batter than us ? and we also know that what  other activities were/ are going on there since ages and there is no body to stop those activities but the players who's presence in the play ground only  means disturbance to those visitors activities ? Thus players are not allowed to play.

Where from our Hockey and Football players shall be produced ? we have made a representation to Mr. Makan at his residence last Saturday only, should we go to Hon'bl High Court for this matter ? Do we have a RIGHT to PLAY ?

CITIZEN COUNCIL MEET at 13th barakhamba road

Today at 5pm the meeting to discuss whether trifurcation of MCD is useful for delhi citizens or not.
The meeting was attended by DELHI MAYOR ARTI MEHRA, SH KEDAR NATH SAWHNEY SH.KISHOR AND other wellknown dignitaries.
They made forceful speeches to highe light advantage and disadvantages of trifurcation of MCD.
I also spoke that whether in existing shape or aftertrifurcation, it will depend on integrity of persons heading such units.
MCD HAS totally failed to collect legimate revenue from property tax and mobile towers regularisation.
Horticulture is in bad shape as against three mails posted only one is reporting.
TWO OTHERS APPEAR TO BE GHOST EMPLOYEE.
HIGH MAST LIGHTS IN PARKS PROVIDED OUT OF COUNCILLOR FUND HAVE BEEN DISFUNCTIONAL FOR THE LAST ONE YEAR. PLEADINGS WITH AREA COUNCILLOR HAS NOT BROUGHT ANY RELIEF.
So, how does it matter if work culture does not change.
Itbis ultimately the rwas and joint front who have to come forward and build up pressure till situation approves.

Don't be 'Selfish Giant', let kids play in park: HC to RWA

NEW DELHI: In a significant ruling for children in the city who are constantly being shooed away from parks by resident welfare associations,Delhi high court has said that no one can prohibit children from using a park as a playground.

Rejecting a plea by a city RWA opposing fencing of a section of a local park by MCD (so that it can be reserved for volleyball), Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw on Tuesday invoked Oscar Wilde to drive his point home.

"I find that the petitioners (Rajinder Nagar Welfare Association) by intending to prevent children and adults from playing in the park are acting like the 'selfish giant'. They forget that a park without having children and adults to play there can't bloom.

RBECHS / Anand Vihar : civic problems

Dear Mr. Vohra ji,

In response to your below said mail, we wish to enumerate only the major and urgent civic problems which have not been responded at all by the authorities concerned so far. We wonder your channel of communication could resolve the outstanding problems, we would welcome it with abundance of appreciation and gratitude, which we will publicly acknowledge!

1. Cleaning of storm water drains throughout the colony which have become a fertile place for breeding of mosquitoes. 

2. Dog menace - Daily a few cases of dogs' biting taking place with enormous suffering and expenditure. This is growing in abundance with no solution! Some time we wonder whether we are living in a remote village or in the heart of a mega city - the capital of India.

3. Repairing/relaying of service lanes and main and inner roads in the colony which are in a very bad shape.

4.Encroachments are not being removed at all to facilitate parking of vehicles i.e kitchen gardens, ramps etc.

5. Cleaning of sewerage system by a mechanical system

6. Replacing the water pipe and sewerage lines - getting worn out as they were laid more than 3 decades back.

On all the above items an innumerable of letters and memoranda had been sent to all the authorities concerned and brought to personal notice of our representatives i.e. Councillor and MLA but no effect at all! Who would care and resolve the problems? Can the East Front arrange to solve them? We will wait and watch!?

With best regards and wishes,

TK Balu

Secretary/RBECHS/Anand Vihar
