We have one big Public park maintained by MCD in vicinity,named “neighbourhood park ,which is priviously Developed by DDA,now taken over by MCD for maintance .It is maintained beautifully and lot of grEenery and new benches were added recenty.But it has no supply of electricity in the evenings at all.it is mostly picthc dark in the evenings and night.
We need the continuous supply of electricity for the tall lights and the lights on inner periphey for people who utilise this park for evening health walks/sitting peacefully in the evening.Bothe the tall lights are not working for last many months or may be 2 years now and periphery lights are interitantly or seldom switched on .
There is a weekly Tezbazari bazar on Thursday on its outer periphery towards Swami ngar.so on Thursday , Garden becmes a thoroughfare for all the 5-6 surrounding localities (sheikh sarai-I,II,chirag Delhi,Swami nagar and savitri nagar (all surrounding colonies ) and it is very degerous for women and children and even elders to go through this park in Pitch dark to purchase vegetabes etc.otherwise also crime rate is high in SHEIKH SARAI AREA,SO MORE LIGHT IS A NECESSISITY.
I request MCD to look into this matter urgently.
Thanks & regards,

Finnish expert links cell phones to cancer
NEW DELHI: Finnish scientist Dr Dariusz Leszczynski has criticised India-born oncologist Dr Siddhartha Mukherjee’s claim that there was no link between cell phone radiation and cancer.
Dr Leszczynski was part of a global team that labelled cell phone radiation as carcinogenic in 2011.
“I don’t know how he said this. I don’t know how well he is read and how much of expertise he has in cell phone radiations. I don’t think he read the hundreds of studies on cell phone radiations. He is an oncologist and I don’t know how much of research he has done on cell phone radiation,” said Dr Dariusz Leszczynski, who is also chief editor of ‘Frontiers in Radiation and Health’ and an adjunct professor, department of biochemistry and biotechnology, Helsinki University, Finland.
“Extensive use of cell phone for more than 30 minutes a day for 10 years could increase the risk of brain cancer. There is enough evidence from studies to substantiate it,” he said.

Lungs check up camp in East Delhi !
Today, we had Lungs check up camp by CIPLA at two places i.e. Anand
Vihar & the Vishwakarma nagar – Jhilmil. Two tests that were done today included the Peak Flow Meter Test & the Spirometry Test as below :
1. Peak
Flow Meter Test :
A Peak Flow Meter (Breathe-o meter) is a simple, affordable, hand held device which helps diagnose breathing problems and asthma in children and adults. It is also used as an instrument to monitor your progress when you are under treatment for asthma.
Just as you have a BP instrument to check blood pressure and the Glucometer for diabetics, the Peak Flow Meter (Breathe-o meter) is like a thermometer for asthma. As a patient, you will have to blow into the mouthpiece of the device, and the reading will be taken to check your lung power. Most doctors have the device in their clinic but it is also available at most leading chemists if you want to keep your asthma in check.

2. Spirometry
Test
A Spirometry Test is a more sensitive and sophisticated test which detects the signs of asthma early. The Spirometer is used to measure how much air your lungs can hold and how efficiently the air moves into and out of your lungs. In other words, it gives a good indication of your lung power and gives you accurate details about your breathing capacity. The lab or the doctor conducting the test will give you a printed graph of your reading, just as you get a graph when you do your ECG test.
Both the Peak Flow Meter (Breathe-o meter) and Spirometry tests are used to diagnose asthma and also help you measure your progress when your asthma is under control.
However, since these tests are not recommended for children below six years of age, you as a parent have to work together with your pediatrician, to make sure that your child’s asthma is diagnosed early and correctly, by paying close attention to your family history and triggers. You will also be required to visit your doctor regularly so that together you can monitor your child’s progress.
