UN has designated July 12 as "Malala Day"

May I ask the reason from Delhi Traffic Police ?

We have made dozens of complaints to DTP to look into the Traffic Jam position in Krishna nagar, Lal quarter, Jheel, areas. Many a time we got visits from ACP or TI in the earlier months to look into our problems. Many a times we uploaded vids of real traffic jams on the DTP site to exhibit the gravity of situation. Many a times we raised the issue at the Bhagidari meets at the DC office monthly meetings. But no action is ever taken & we were told that the staff crunch is the reason. We were told that almost 50% of the staff has to go to the VIP duty everyday. We asked for tow away vehicles to ease the traffic jams in the area but DTP could not offer us even a single round even in months as they said they have to maintain the Vikas Marg.

But strange the same DTP has enough staff to tow away the vehicles from the areas where there is no traffic jam, where the parked vehicle is not hurting anyone. Sometime ago I went to deposit the school fee of my kid at GHPS hargobind enclave & on coming back found my car towed away. Today I parked my car for few minutes to take away some papers from typist near the DC office & again my car was towed away. These are the areas where there is no rush, no traffic jam and nothing of that sort.

Strange the areas mentioned above don’t have the NO PARKING Sign boards & when I asked the DTP personal, his answer was that there is not even the PARKING Board.

IndiBloggers meet, that changed smelly to smiley !

Though I get regular messages from indiblogger, I never took much interest as first of all I don’t like to go alone n secondly, can’t really adjust in the ho halla that’s expected  in such kind of meets. 

REASON ? 

I am a different type of person. A Blogger but with a social cause. Wanna serve the society. Wanna chat n discuss about our meets with DERC so that the power tariff could come down in Delhi. Wanna chat n discuss about the DJB, about dirty water being supplied, about waterloging in the city, potholes, sanitation, power outages, RWAs, FDI, inflation, politicians etc. etc. & ofcourse about our RTIs on various issues and you can find me on various TV channels on various social issues.

Donno how, i decided to visit the Ambipur meet, filled the participation forms n reached the spot alongwith Sonia - my wife who is also a very active Blogger with our SikhsIndia Blog. 

The meet started with Nihal and OMG what was that ? All the bloggers were just laughing, banging their heads….OMG.....it looked like a MAD MAD MAD House or a mad mad mad world.

But very soon I realized that it was not a mad house instead a fun filled event where youngsters had ample opportunities to express. It was not just a promotional event of P&G for Ambi Pur, instead it offered us to meet a wide variety of bloggers from the city as well NCR region with different causes, interests, technicalities & so on. They were from different age groups, from the mere 13 years old to the grown ups & matures, all there, under the single roof, laughing, shouting, enjoying the fun filled event.

All the Bloggers actively participated in various activities & expressed themselves in the best possible manner. And lastly the skits, though promotional in nature, again offered ample opportunities to the audience. They were divided in 8 teams & given few minutes to not only to make a promotional skit but also to perform it on the stage. Great fun indeed ! All the teams performed well, with their own themes, their own stories, generated there itself, in few minutes with all the born n natural actors. Good job ! Great efforts ! I just sprayed AMBI PUR to convert the smelly ones into smiley ones.

And finally, i had to change my opinion, atleast about the indiblogger meets. Instead of mere Ho Halla, it was a great experience, a great opportunity to meet all lot of friends from various cultures, different fields, different age groups but with one thing in common. Yeah, we all were INDIBLOGGERS.

Definitely three cheers for the entire indiblogger team, that was quite friendly and thanks from my wife to all there as she really enjoyed a lot. Thanks to Ambipur as it changed the smelly to smiley in a short span. 

And one thing is sure that now onwards i would like to attend all the indiblogger meets in Delhi & around (subject to my time restraints), and in case i could not reach the spot due to my other social activities, my wife will definitely be there, in the indiblogger meets as a co blogger. In that case, please don't forget to meet me at the link below : http://www.youtube.com/user/RWABhagidari/videos

RWAs views on the announcement made by CM :

I would like to clarify regarding the doubts created by some RWAs regarding the authenticity of one lakh to be given to RWAs.  In the Bhagidari meet at Talkatora Stadium on 7.7.2013 the CM announced this amount for the betterment of the working of the RWAs.  I would request to kindly go forward and send your estimate for sanction.  Thereafter we can comment whether it is false or true.  Accordingly we could clear our doubts and trust the statement of the CM.

This is really a fabulous news, but as there is thick layer of cloud of uncertainty is covered as yet to know what is the formalities to procure it is not cleared, so is it a kind of political stunt in view of upcoming election in Delhi, it will better clear in near future.

URGENT REQUEST FOR CLEAN UP OF SOM BAZAAR CHOWK AREA ON JAIL ROAD,AT HARI NAGAR G BLOCK AREA

Dear Sir/Madam,

1..We the residents of  G BLOCK, HARI NAGAR AREA,JAIL ROAD  are approaching you through our RWA for the URGENT clean up of our Residential area as mentioned above. The following population is immediately effected:-

(a) Hari Nagar G Block-                               Approx  20000 residents

(b) Virender Nagar-                                      Approx- 37000 residents

(c) Shiv Nagar-                                                Approx  50000 residents

2.The area measures approx 8000 sq yards and is located at the ENTRANCE to the above mentioned residential areas and adjacent to the JAIL ROAD, opposite Petrol Pump/Omsweets shop and also popularly known as Som Bazar Chowk area. The area is under private ownership and over a period of time has become cesspool of dirt, garbage, parked vehicles, break down vehicles, Generators, dead animals ,human litter and waste, unauthorized constructions, and is used by the unknown people.The area has become not only polluted by all the a/m things but is also a SECURITY RISK as there is NO lighting arrangements and bad elements are often seen around there. It is indeed very RISKY for our daughters ,women and even men to walk through this area at Night.The wastes are thrown by many occupants and the area STINKS all the time and it is getting difficult  to LIVE in this area. Our past Councillors have often promised us for resolution of the a/m issue, but NOTHING has been done as yet..

3.You are requested to kindly use your good offices to prevail upon the owners of this land either to construct a wall all around their land or the GOVT should intervene and  construct or can help them to SELL the land or ACQUIRE/PURCHASE  the land for the public good.

4. We the residents are keen to see a small Park to be built up over here and this would be the boon for all the residents. We humbly pray to you for the immediate resolution of this long pending issue and bring happiness to the residents of these areas.

5.In support of our request we have  the signatures of the residents of these areas  appended.

Sincerely, & On behalf of All Residents of  G BLOCK HARI NAGAR, VIRENDER NAGAR AND SHIV NAGAR

RWAs views on the announcement made by CM :

Dear Mr. Vohra ji, We cannot but commend your consistent efforts on all fronts to look after the interest and welfare of all residents in East Delhi! Your mailing system of uptodate news and views and publicity and keeping in touch with all affiliates etc. are praiseworthy and admirable. Your indefatigable energy and unlimited and boundless enthusiasm in all matters are unexceptionable indeed! These are not mere hyperbole but true to the letter and spirit!! We heartily welcome the munificence of our Hon'ble CM of extending financial assistance to the RWAs which could be very profitably utilized for the welfare and security of the residents without doubt. In fact our Society had taken various steps to ensure the security and safety of residents in the present of adverse atmosphere of insecurity, albeit the subject is more concerned with the Police authorities rather burdening the residents but when the former has no means and wherewithal for the purpose excepting providing the same to VVIPs etc. where 'aam aadmi' are left to fend for themselves, by providing gates and presently engaged in installing CCTVs (the craze of the season on the recommendation of the Police authorities) at all vulnerable points, despite their efficacy which is questionable. All this and more involve lot of expenditure which has to be met on eking out of the sum from all residents who abode in different colonies. This little sum will be of great help to minimize the expenditure to some extent. But this has to be channelized properly in a total transparent manner which is of very vital importance. You may kindly recall that similar announcement was made a few months back at a forum by the Hon'ble CM but nothing concrete has taken shape. We wish and hope that this will also vanish in thin air when the monsoon is in full swing and thus becomes an election stunt to lure the voters! Let's see how this august announcement takes shape and implemented without any strings attached. Pl. follow it up and let all know what procedure to be adopted to derive this benefit by the RWAs. This will be a great service from you in enlightening the RWAs as to how to proceed further and to whom to approach. With best regards, TK Balu/RBECHS/Anand Vihar --------------------------------- Pl guide us. Idea of CM is good but amount is very less to maintain the hole security systems and hi tech facilities . Amount should be depend on the area of the society / colony and facilities required by the peoples.   Ajay Gupta Secretary Pragati Co-op Group Housing Society, Pitampura ----------------------------------------------------- All the RWAs are now requested to kindly take advantage of the announcements of the CM and send their demand for improvement in their colony in getting the assured sum of Rs. One lakh, however kindly inform if possible where to apply,  to the SDM or the Bhagidari Cell of Delhi Govt., it is not clarified.  Your reply will help the RWAs to directly claim for the amount without wastage of time.   R K Nanda ----------- Only God knows if the information regarding one lakh rupees to each RWA is a news item or something in real and  will hold good.  Thanks for the information. Ashok K Bhatnagar Jan Shakti Vikas Samiti, Gandhi Nagar ----------------------------------------- Its an excellent proposal however accessing Rs. 1 Lakh for the society should be simplified. In light of the good governance money could be directly transferred to the society account. Women headed president of the society should be given added incentives. Ms. Vijaya Samal RWA President Divya Jyoti Appartments, Rohini ---------------------------------------------------- Bhagidari is the most prestigious project of Delhi Govt & we the RWAs of Delhi have always appreciated the efforts of Delhi Govt in promoting Bhagidari amongst RWAs of Delhi. In my personal opinion, instead of providing money to the RWAs, Delhi Govt must issue instructions, that, work of RWAs ( of any quantum ), must be done by the authorities at the first go.
