Govt may expand ambit of scrutiny

New Delhi: The Delhi government is planning to expand the scope of scrutiny into the regularization scam involving unauthorized colonies. It plans to look beyond the 125-odd colonies that were issued showcause notices last week after discrepancies were found in RWA claims and MCD verification reports on mandatory built-up area.

Now, even the 1018 colonies found eligible from a total of 1639 unauthorised colonies are now open to scrutiny.

A K Walia, who took charge of the urban development portfolio, said all colonies will be put through a thorough scrutiny before regularization takes place. This could mean a longer wait for eligible colonies before they get the legal tag. And those colonies which violated the eligibility criteria set out under the regularization guidelines, it could actually be the end of the road.

India inches closer to crisis as rupee retreats

excerpts :

"The Indian currency will be the first casualty of a deterioration in the euro zone crisis," said Rupa Rege Nitsure, chief economist at Bank of Baroda in Mumbai.

If Europe's crisis deepens, India's trade deficit would widen even more rapidly, and it would have even more trouble attracting foreign capital.

"Risk appetite will obviously collapse and gradually the currency crisis is likely to take the shape of a balance of payments crisis," Nitsure said.

"Suddenly everything seems to be coming to a head in India," UBS wrote. "Growth is disappearing, the rupee is in disarray, and inflation is stuck at near-record levels. Investor sentiment has gone from cautious to outright scared."

India's current account deficit swelled to $14.1 billion in its fiscal first quarter, nearly triple the previous quarter's tally. The full-year gap is expected to be around $54 billion.

Its fiscal deficit hit $58.7 billion in the April-to-October period. The government in February projected a deficit equal to 4.6 percent of gross domestic product for the fiscal year ending in March 2012, although the finance minister said on Friday that it would be difficult to hit that target.

RWA duties & powers

What is the status of DDA Agencies functioning as RWAs as they are neither registered in society act ,nor DDA is taking care of running of these bodies as they have been handed over to MCD for more than a decade now.

Should it not be mandatary for RWAs to be registered in society act?

what action should be taken in cases where RWA office bearers have themselves encroached on public land.?

RWA to crack whip on encroachments

NEW DELHI: In a bid to streamline traffic at Lajpat Nagar, Defence Colony and Jangpura, the Delhi High Court has made MCD and traffic police officials accountable to the local RWA for removing encroachments from roads.

"The president and secretary of the associations shall also be called for the meetings held between MCD and Delhi Police officers. These meetings should be held at least once a month under intimation to the office bearers," the HC specified in its order.

The court gave the instructions after realizing that little progress has been made in streamlining traffic despite its intervention. The court made it clear that on receiving complaints by the residents of the area through their respective RWAs, the officers must respond immediately and take action as per law.

According to the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act and the Delhi Police Act, both authorities can respectively sieze, seal or penalize shops found to be encroaching on public land. HC was hearing a batch of petitions filed by Defence Colony Flyover Complex Welfare Association, the Jangpura RWA and the Lajpat Nagar RWA.

BIJLI ANDOLAN` BRINGS EAST DELHI TOGETHER

Date of Publishing: 2011-11-26 00:00:00.0

Agitated with the rising prices of electricity, the residents of East Delhi came together under Bijli Andolan to fight against it. The andolan has been started under the leadership of Vijay Goel, former DUSU president and BJP leader. "The Bijli Andolan is a way to raise voice against the rising injustice. We should stand united and force the government to reduce prices of electricity," said Geeta Mehra, a resident present in andolan.

"I congratulate the team of East Delhi RWAs Joint Front, for holding the first meeting of Bijli Andolan successfully. For any welfare organisation, citizens' interest should be first and foremost," said Ranju Minhas, founder-cum-executive director at Shield-Citizen's Initiative (NGO) and a social worker.

"Price rise has troubled us a lot and we may get some respite through this andolan. The authorities should listen to our demands and do something to solve our problems," said Deepak Tiwari, another resident.

B S Vohra, president, East Delhi RWAs Joint Front said, "We will fight against the rising prices as much as we can. This andolan is totally politics-free and we hope that this will be successful."
