MCD IS FLUSHED WITH FUNDS

Sir,

Balu jee is worried because mcd is short of funds and hence progress is at standstill on various projects. MCD is not collecting property tax from more than 60% of properties. So is the status of collection of legitimate money from mobile phone companies as more than 2500 towers are illegal. SURRISINGLY, RESPONSIBLE OFFICERS are not behind bars. IMMENSE LOSS IS BEING CAUSED BY OFFICERS IN LEAGUE WITH POLITICIANS.

Delhi Govt Is Set To Accept DERC Proposal

Richi Verma | TNN 

New Delhi: If you think your power bills are too high, here’s some bad news: Get set to pay even more. Power regulator Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission has paved the way for a hike by sending fresh advice to the Delhi government which states that the current tariff was not ‘‘cost-reflective’’ and power companies were suffering under-recoveries of 30% to 50%.
    This comes less than six months after then-chairman of DERC, Berjinder Singh, had advised the government that discoms were misrepresenting their financial state. In May, the government had intervened to stop a tariff announcement by DERC which is rumoured to have recommended a reduction in power rates. Singh retired in September.
    Within 24 hours of receiving the regulator’s latest advice, the Sheila Dikshit government responded by not just accepting it but saying it validates concerns raised by the government on the discom’s financial conditions. The government had invited the high court’s ire for meddling in tariff fixation policies earlier this year and halting the May tariff announcement.
    The new advice also spells victory for the city’s three power discoms — BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna and NDPL — who have been fighting for higher tariff for a long time.

Do you have Electricity complaint that has not been properly redressed ?

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 ?

Can we now expect a reduction in Property Tax ?

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!
