INDIA TODAY !
Dear Mr. Vohra ji,
INDIA TODAY! When you wake up struggle for water (the most essential commodity); electricity (the most erratic and sweat out); getting milk (yet an another essential commodity); cleaning of roads and storm water drains (overflowing with no sight of clearance by MCD); parking of cars and taking them out; rush up to school bus with your kids; catch the transport or get stranded on the road with your own car; lack of civility on the roads and other places, encroachment growing unabated in and around your house/colony; soaring prices of all commodities etc. etc. Is it worth living always struggling for all essential commodities with govt. in power but powerless to do anything. On the contrary the politicians are thriving on our account. There is no accountability or responsibility. Oblige your friends and get kudos and covered on the TV network and the media, whatever you do. Officialdom do not respond to your calls and letters! This is the trait of our politicians and our bureaucrats! Is there a way out? Let's debate about it!!!

KRISHNA NAGAR ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING LALITA PARK
KRISHNA NAGAR ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING LALITA PARK
Date of Publishing: 2011-07-30 00:00:00.0
With painful memories of the horrendous building collapse incident at Lalita Park still fresh in the minds of the residents, there are chances that same can happen in Krishna Nagar as well.
Due to huge water logging in this area, risk of weakening of base of buildings is quite high here. Above all, authorities are negligent towards this area where more than two lakh people reside. According to many residents, water has entered the ground floor of their houses and is ruining their walls and pillars. "Krishna Nagar is a posh colony, but in monsoons, it becomes a terrible place to live in. Water floods the roads and
we are forced to wade through the knee-deep water. We have brought this issue in front of the local authorities and the engineers of the MCD many a time. We want the authorities to act urgently so that the situation in the area eases," said BS Vohra, president, East Delhi RWA Joint Front. Besides this, chances of outbreak of many dreadful diseases are also high which can worsen the situation. The frequent traffic jams in the area have added to the problem. "Shoppers in large number throng Krishna Nagar market from all across the city. The knee-deep water here results in long frequent traffic jams which trouble everyone. Moreover, the roads have also got worn out resulting in a loss of huge amount of money spent on these roads," said Rashmi Kataria, a resident of Krishna Nagar.
An MCD engineer on the condition of anonymity revealed that the poor drainage system here has led to this situation. The water is drained out through only one pump house which is at E block.
Many people are scared that Lalitha Park like incident can happen here due to the water logging.
what authorities say
We have taken a lot of measures to ease the situation and the residents are quite satisfied with our efforts. But still, there are some problems which will be solved soon.
— Dr Harshvardhan,
MLA, Krishna Nagar
The treatment work is going on. There are nallahs being dug for the drainage system. Once the nallah construction work is done, 90% of the work will be done and things will get fine as drainage system will improve. It will take a month's time.
— Dr VK Monga,
Chairman, MCD's public health committee
A total of 26 cases of malaria have been reported from East Delhi in July and with water logging in many areas like Krishna Nagar, the toll may rise further.
— Dr Ajay Lekhi,
President, IMA, East Delhi branch
Since Krishna Nagar is a low lying area, nothing can be done for the improvement of the drainage system. As such, there is no proposal from the higher authorities to solve the drainage problem.
— S D Tomar,
executive engineer, MCD (maintenance)

A protest against BSES tariff hike was carried on July 12 at BSES office in F block, Krishna Nagar. A number of RWAs and traders from various parts of east Delhi participated in the protest. It was supported by the BJP. MLA Dr Harshvardhan, councillors Dr V K Monga, Neema Bhagat and Nirmal Jain addressed the public.
Dr Harshvardhan informed that the technical and commercial losses of Discoms have come down from 57% maximum to around 14 - 20%. Dr Monga said that the deposits made to BSES will not be a security deposit but permanent fixed deposits in their hands. BS Vohra, president East Delhi RWAs Joint Front raised various factual points on all the three issues i.e. tariff revision, additional security deposit and variable charge collection plans of BSES. "We request the DERC to opt for the CAG audit so that the actual position of these Discoms could come into open," said Vohra.
