Recreation-cum-reading Room for Sr. Citizens at Priyadarshini Vihar

Commissioner

Dear Sir,

Re:  Recreation-cum-reading Room for Sr. Citizens at Priyadarshini Vihar

We refer to our letter of 18^th February 2010 (copy attached for ready reference), regarding construction of a Recreation-cum-reading room for the benefit of over 250 senior citizens living in Priyadarshini Vihar, in Shahadra South Zone.  Consequently, a team from your Community Service Department, Civil Line Zone had inspected the three tot-lots lying vacant in our colony as a possible site for constructing the above Centre, in March 2010. 

A letter No.339/SSV/M/2010 dated 28/06/2010 from the Assistant Director, Shahadra North Zone, Community Service Department has now been received advising that the proposed site was a park which came under the green belt of the Horticulture Department (copy enclosed).  As such, a senior citizens’ recreation-cum-reading room could not be constructed there.

In this connection, we have to submit that while we agree and support that greenery is very important to protect our environment from global warming, you will appreciate that it is equally important that our senior citizens are looked after well so as to utilize their knowledge and experience for the benefit of the society.

There are already six parks in our small colony with only 253 houses.  Moreover, by constructing a room in the middle of a tot-lot, no plants/trees will be destroyed.  On the contrary, it would be our best endeavour to grow more flowers and medicinal plants around the recreation room, and perhaps the senior citizens would be able to contribute a lot in maintaining the garden, which would be their own.  As mentioned before, RWA would take the responsibility to manage the functioning of the Centre.  In view of the foregoing, you are once again requested to kindly re-consider our request in the overall interest of the senior citizens of the area. 

Thank you for your kind consideration.

Sincerely yours,

R. N. Gupta

Problems faced by residents of Priyadarshini Vihar, Ward 222.

Dear Madam,

Re:  Some of the problems faced by residents of Priyadarshini Vihar, Ward 222.

We have been pursuing with the Commissioner, MCD (now EDMC) for resolving our following two major concerns without any success.  We now solicit your kind support and recommendation for an early solution:

1.                   Recreation-cum-reading room for senior citizens:  There are about 300 senior citizens in our colony, many of whom are professionals, like engineers, doctors, management consultants and chartered accountants.  Their knowledge and experience can be usefully utilized, if there is a common place where they can meet, relax and interact with people.  This Association has been pursuing for a Recreation-cum-reading room in our colony for the last several years, but nothing has been done by the MCD so far.  A copy of our self-explanatory letter dated 18 February 2010 addressed to Shri K.S. Mehra, Commissioner, MCD is attached for your information.

2.                   Amendments to MCD guidelines for installation of gates for security purpose in colonies:  A copy of our self-explanatory letter addressed to the Commissioner, EDMC is enclosed for information.  It is very important that the guidelines are amended and made people friendly at the earliest.

It would be greatly appreciated, if you kindly intervene and use your esteemed office to ensure that our above legitimate demands are favourably considered.

Thanking you.

Sincerely yours,

R. N. Gupta

We have been slapped with a bill with number of units consumed as 5182, in my entire 42 years of billing with old DESU , and present NDPL/ TATA power we  have never had this level of consumption recorded.

An amount of Rs.28470/- is expected of me , I am a RETIRED SENIOR CITIZEN  over 72 years of age ,with my meager PENSION benefits , this amount is wiping out my basic survival  RESERVES and creating uncalled financial HARDSHIP.

I have already visited INDER PURI customer care centre , they too have numerous cases of ERROR BILLING , since i have ZERO wiring defect ,and the most logical reason seems a case of meter jumping .

I would like to request you to please use your good office to  ensure at this uncalled ERROR  in UNITS consumed and an AVERAGE consumption billing may be initiated.

Please  treat this mail as my FORMAL COMPLAINT  and necessary corrective action  may be initiated at the earliest.

Thanking you in anticipation

Sincerely

DERC penalises Tata Power Distribution Ltd for violations

New Delhi, Aug 26 (PTI) Delhi's power regulator DERC has imposed a penalty of Rs 25,000 on Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd (TPDDL) for committing a number of violations including wrong assessment of a consumer's electricity bill and snapping of supply. The order by Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission came in response to a petition filed against TPDDL by Anita Goel, a resident of Sector-2 of Rohini. When asked, a TPDDL official said the company would fully comply with the DERC order. In the order, the DERC said the connection to the consumer was issued for non-domestic purposes but the same was billed by TPDDL for domestic tariff by "mistake". The company later revised the bill based on commercial tariff instead of domestic rates which was not paid by the consumer. The company had issued a disconnection notice to the consumer for defaulting in making the payment of Rs 57,373 on November 24, 2010. The revised demand was raised pursuant to revision of the tariff category from domestic to non-domestic. Upset over the disconnection notice, the consumer had then approached the Consumer Grievances Redressal Forum (CGRF) which had ordered restoration of the power supply.

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 !
