The cremation ground at Geeta colony with no suitable parking facilities

East Delhi is one of the biggest constituency with huge density of population. The cremation ground at Geeta colony caters to a large population with multiple funerals at a time. But to our surprise there is no suitable parking available at the spot.  Some vacant unbuilt land on the left is being used by the visitors but during monsoon, it's really horrible to park your car in that area. The main road which was earlier used to park the vehicles contains boards depicting NO PARKING / NO STOPPING, by the Delhi Traffic Police. In the sad hours, persons are forced to break the law by parking on that road. May I request to all the concerned to look into it & provide a suitable parking at the earliest.

Whats wrong with INDIA ?

Scams of every kind : be it 2G SCAM, CWG, COAL GATE, DIAL or others. The figures SO BIG that none of the common man can even imagine in their dreams.

North eastern peoples migrating leaving a lot behind ? A mad rush. Seems local or central govt. have no control.

No control on inflation. Those who spent INR 5000 pm a few years ago can not manage even after spending in multiples.

While the Growth rate is dwindling to just 5.5% or around, prices of almost everything such as Petrol, Diesel, LPG, CNG, eatables etc. etc. moving upwards alngwith ADULTRATION.

What's  wrong with India ? Any answers ?

CRY : Child right & you !

No response regarding Meter reading jumping !

Dear Sir,

 

I am writing this mail on behalf of my mother Mrs. Sadori Agnani, who is 87 years and unable to do such tasks. The complaint is regarding meter no. 60003894015. I have received a bill no. 010031551248 dated 31 jul 12 of 3255 units consumption in 67 days amounting to useage of over 48 units a day which is far above the average useage of 25 to 30 units per day.

 

I had complained regarding this to ccag (Refer to my trailing complaint refered below) once I found my complaint no. 002003170463 to have been shown as resolved without any action.

 

Subsequent to my complaint I have gone and met the staff at Inderpuri Office of your department under whose jursdiction my residence falls, on 13th Aug 12 .

 

I went and met all officers starting from Customer Care Representative, Mr. Sachin Singhal CRO, Mr. Ram Kumar, RMO and then Ms. Khanna the head there. How ever I was not satisfied with the response since no logical or technical reasons for excessive units consumption in this bill were given and am filing this case for resolution.

 

COMPLAINT.

 

1. The bill for this month shows useage of 3255 units for 67 days which is far too much, and works out to over 48 units per day as against average usage of 25-30 units.

 

My Submission.

 

1. My average usage pattern is of 25 to 30 units per month in summer months since this connection is used exclusively for ACs mostly.

2. The useage pattern for the present month, after receipt of this bill still remains 25 - 30 units which I am checking on daily basis now. Before this bill period also the usage pattern is similar.

3. The useage pattern for the same duration last year, as given by your CCS representative is 1484 units for 55 days, which works out to be just under 27 units per day.

 

With the above details it is evident that :

 (a) There is no internal wiring problems since the reading before and after the period of this bill remains in same pattern.

 (b) The meter is fine and no problems - so suspecting defective meter will not be correct. 

 

Logical Conclusion.

 

Since the usage pattern has not changed my present bill for 67 days period should be about 1675 to 1850 units as against 3255 units. There could be only two possibilities for this excessive billing:

 

1. Meter Jumping, which the RMO, Mr. Ram Kumar just refused to accept and rejected it out rightly without any technical or logical justification.

2. I have been UNDER BILLED in the last one year and then now since the tarrifs have been raised charged for all the under billed units.

 

I would like to submit here that I was not the only case that day in the office but about 60 to 70 similar cases.

 

My Redress.

 

Not with standing the resolution, I have paid my bill for the period and now approach your good self for the redress.

 

In view of the above I would request you to kindly reconcile and refund the excess amount billed and paid by me.

 

Thanking you,

Solution a must for maintaining poles

The PWD and BSES must not be allowed to play passing the parcel on this one. The bottomline is that there is already a victim of their failure to ensure the poles are secure and many more could be at risk if things are not set right immediately. The top levels of the Delhi government must intervene if necessary to fix responsibility for the maintenance of these poles. If the bolts that hold them firm are being stolen, merely lamenting that fact will get us nowhere. A solution must be found. If that means more permanent means of fixing them to the ground, it must be done on a war footing. Meanwhile, responsibility must be fixed for the accident that has taken place and compensation paid.

Watch out for poles toppling over

NEW DELHI: Every time you drive down the stretches recently developed for the 2010 Commonwealth Games in east Delhi - including the area near Akshardham, ITO Chungi, Noida Morh and Yamuna Pushta - you are courting danger. After two high-mast streetlight poles fell down near the Geeta Colony clover-leaf flyover due to missing nuts in the base and injured a person critically, TOI has discovered several more such poles that can topple over because of the same reason.

A TOI team visited these areas on Wednesday to discover that half of the nuts at the base of several of these 90-foot high poles were missing. One such pole near the Akshardham metro station was even found tilting at a dangerous angle. Frighteningly, neither the land-owning agency, public works department (PWD) of the Delhi government, nor discom BSES has taken any responsibility.

The way the base nuts had been removed from many poles between Noida Morh and Geeta Colony flyover showed a pattern. Several poles had three nuts missing on three corners and two nuts from the fourth corner, leaving the base structure of each pole weakened with asymmetric support.

"When these high-mast lights are secured, the base structure is planned in a way that factors in safety with respect to wind load, rain, height of pole, weight of light structure, etc. The number of nuts and their placement is also decided keeping these factors in mind. The removal of a few such nuts may keep the structure upright but it can sway and even fall due to a strong gust of wind as it's highly unstable," said a senior engineer of PWD.

Pole falls on man, no one owns up

NEW DELHI: It wasn't a bolt of lightning but a high-mast streetlight pole - public infrastructure planned and installed by the state - that fell on 31-year-old Amit Jain during Saturday afternoon's squall. Jain, who was riding his bike on the Geeta Colony clover-leaf flyover, passed out with the shock. The falling 90-foot pole battered his head, chest, shoulders and left hand.

Four days later, Jain lies critical and forgotten. His small family - wife Rekha and two-year-old son Aditya - faces a dark future, but the authorities have not considered comforting them in any way. There's no offer of material assistance. Instead, when TOI took up Jain's case with the road-owning agency, Public Works Department (PWD), the maintenance agency BSES, and the police, it started off a desperate game of pass-the-buck.

Police say they have registered a case under section 607 of IPC (causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others) at the Shakarpur police station and are trying to pin responsibility. PWD insists it is BSES' fault as the discom is in charge of maintaining the lights. But BSES protests it did its duty by complaining to police repeatedly about the theft of base nuts that anchor the poles to the ground.

"PWD has given the charge of maintenance to BSES, and it is their sole responsibility to ensure that the lights are properly maintained in every respect," said PWD director (works) Deepak Panwar.

A representative of BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL), however, claimed: "With the strong gusts of wind, a couple of high masts have collapsed. But BYPL only supplies electricity and maintains the electrical fixtures and fittings of these high-mast lights on behalf of the concerned land owning agencies".

Worryingly, BSES claimed there are several other poorly anchored lights. "Recently, in some pockets of southeast Delhi - like Noida Morh, the area near Akshardham, ITO Chungi and Yamuna Pushta - we have found that miscreants have stolen not only the electrical fittings but also the foundation nuts and bolts of high-mast lights," said the BYPL representative.

"It is still a matter of investigation to determine who is responsible for the accident. I am not personally aware of a complaint of theft in this regard. However, in the case of a public utility, theft of bolts should not be an excuse for not maintaining the security of a mast light," said DCP (east) Prabhakar.

Two such light poles fell on the loop from Shakarpur towards ITO during Saturday's squall. Occupants of vehicles following Jain's bike had a narrow escape.
