Officials apprised the L-G of measures taken to prevent mosquito breeding and create awareness among citizens about vectorborne diseases.

Jung asked deputy commissioners( revenue) to visit private hospitals to ensure patients from the economically weaker sections(EWS) get proper treatment.

“A report on the same is required to be submitted to the division al commissioner and the L-G’s office regularly,” said a press statement released by the L-G office on Monday.

BYPL's largest transformer at Krishna nagar, Delhi

BYPL's largest transformer at Krishna nagar, East Delhi !

LARGEST EVER power transformer being installed in Delhi by BYPL at a new power grid at Lal Quarter in Krishna nagar. But how DERC allowed it in this very crowded n congested locality is really the cause of concern. We the residents spent a HORRIBLE night without electricity, without any intimation, while the transformer was being transported to the designated site. We can just hope that this biggest ever transformer will bring an end to the power woes of entire area.

MOST NOTORIOUS place for mosquitoes of dengue & chicken gunya are the PARKS in colonies

To All RWAs : 

These mosquitoes bite in day.They can be breeding in a drain in front of a house or in an open water tank in a house under construction or in any other ditch /collection of water from what ever source.Mosquitoes need blood for their meal for which they  fly upto 200 meters in morning  to reach people from the site of breeding.Since maximum numbers of stationary  people are available only  in parks,maximum numbers of these mosquitoes can be seen hovering around people sitting in parks .In the parks they are seen more on people sitting under a shade then those sitting in unshaded areas of parks as they avoid direct sun light.They are seen both in morning & evening.

The site of breeding is nearest to the place where they are seen in maximum numbers in  evening because it is this time that they emerge from the site of breeding & later spread  all over.

These mosquitoes are not in thousands but are in small numbers like 2-10 at a place & are small ,move with rapid action & most of them are already sitting on some portion of people already sitting in the area  which makes it difficult to see them if one is not aware.To find them one has to actually glare people all around them for which one should take their prior permission  by a simple question.

May I see if there are dengue mosquitoes biting you as they bite in day time?.

If all portions of all parks of a colony are free of dengue mosquitoes in morning & evening,one can say that the colony is safe.

It is necessary to practice to see dengue mosquitoes  & show it to people in park as well as to people living around parks so that they can take measures to prevent flow of excess  water in drains  or in pots & take measures to kill larvae.

One does not have to fear dengue  mosquitoes but has to detect them,detect breeding site & eliminate the breeding for the safety of all people including one,s own family members/friends. Before going to park,cover your body with thick cloths,apply odomos on uncovered portions & take a good mosquito racket with you.It is just a ten minutes job to finish them for ever  safely.

Asingle breeding place in a colony can give hundreds of dengue mosquitoes to whole of colony continuously  but initially there may be many such sites.

Fogging does not reach the breeding places whilelittle kerosene/petrol/diesel spreads  over the surface of water killing all larvae.

For any suggestions/quarries  please do email.

Dengu - Chikungunya Drive by DM East !

OBJECTIONS - Municipal Ward Delimitation 2016 ....... LAST DATE 24-09-2016

To

The State Election Commissioner,

State Election Commission (SEC), Delhi,

New Delhi.

Sub.: MCD Ward Delimitation - Death Knell for Planned Developed Colonies

Sir,

At the outset I wish state that SEC’s Ad. Does not give E-Mail Id for filing of Suggestions, also the ‘Principles of Delimitation’ as posted on the website have not been followed properly:-

A. Maps of newly demarcated Constituencies have not been posted for citizens to see if Clauses 2 and 3 of ‘Principles of Delimitation’ have been followed.

B. Contiguous Areas of a colony have been randomly placed and in no specific order making it difficult to spot Omissions and Commissions.

C.  NEHRU PLACE - We notice Part of Nehru Place is in Greater Kailash Ward 086-S and a part that was earlier in Ward 192 (GK) has been placed in Kalkaji Ward 090-S both now under two separate Assembly Constituencies.

D. SHAHPUR JAT – a small section of 347 votes of Shahpur Jat has been placed in Chiraag Dilli, while the Major part has been shifted to GK.

E. EAST of KAILASH - Various areas and Blocks of East of Kailash are listed under three Constituencies ie. GK, Srinivas Puri and Kalkaji spreading across two separate Assembly Constituencies.

F. FINALLY: The question is, why have all attempts to streamline MCD come to naught? Doubling of Councillors and Delimitation in 2007 and Trifurcation of MCD in 2012 ...... were experiments carried out to achieve a POLITICAL STRANGLEHOLD RATHER THAN TO ACHIEVE EFFICIENCY.

The latest attempt at Delimitation of MCD Wards on the basis of Population is again aimed at Political Hold over the most Vulnerable section. No one is against development of deprived sections of the city but tilting the balance of Political Power on the basis of Population alone will create animosity amongst fellow citizens.

TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE NO SOCIAL / FINANCIAL AUDIT HAS EVER BEEN CARRIED OUT TO FIND OUT THE OUTCOME OF ALL PREVIOUS EXPERIMENTS MENTIONED ABOVE ...... WE NEED ANSWERS.

1.  CONTENTION: Issue of Bogus / Dual Voters is unresolved.

SOLUTION: Delimitation should be put on HOLD till EC convinces Citizens that there are no Bogus / Dual Voters. (Copy of Full CIC Order dated 13-01-15 to an RTI attached) ...... Extract ...... “Appellant said that because of criterion that MP or Councillor’s recommendation substituting the proof of residence, there are huge number of bogus votes in Delhi constituency which has capacity of rendering the whole process of elections in Delhi into a farce.  The Election officers are trying to delay and deny the information instead of providing as he sought for. When an affidavit by elected members of Parliament or Municipal  Councillors could be the basis of giving a voter card, what action the government would take  in case one single person getting more than one voter card? He said that answers to his questions would lead to detection of bogus voters and their elimination, which is highly essential to protect public interest and democratic process. 

The Commission finds huge public interest in the appellant’s RTI application which should have been answered long ago. It is surprising that the First Appellate Authority issued such an order as if it was without application of mind. In the context of the admission about mistakes and huge bogus votes in Delhi by Chief Electoral Officer of National Capital in a PIL before Delhi High Court, the problem appears to be more serious and complex. It is shocking to know that there are 58000 cases of wrong photo image, including that of a film star on a common man’s voter card, an in-depth inquiry into residential addresses with MP recommendation criterion might reveal more bogus votes. As there is a possibility of correction of voters list, the Commission recommends the respondent authority to examine the issue raised by the appellant and if that could be used to detect the bogus voter cards, such an initiative should be adopted immediately ....... “

2. CONTENTION: The status of Unauthorised Colonies and Encroachments on Public Land is Subjudice / Undetermined.

SOLUTION: Delimitation should be put on HOLD till the Status is Cleared by Supreme Court.                                                                                        

3. CONTENTION: Exponential Population Growth in some wards is not Natural and has A SKEWED MALE/FEMALE SEX RATIO.(Population chart attached)

SOLUTION: Investigate presence of large number of migrants who have obtained Voter Cards in Delhi while they continue to Vote in Native State/Panchayat Elections. A Panchayat / BPL / Ration Card is a Valid Identity Document in other states. The Law is clear that no citizen can Vote in two parts of a country. Start Awareness Drive and Prosecute those having Dual Domicile. Link all Voter I Cards to Adhaar to weed out Duplicate/Bogus Voters.

4. CONTENTION: MPD-2021 places a Legal Bar on number of Dwelling Units, Building Bye Laws prevent exponential growth in PLANNED DEVELOPED COLONIES, while there are NO SUCH CONTROLS over Villages / Unauthorised Colonies / JJ Clusters etc. where each floor has many small ill-lit rooms with no control on number of occupiers or dwelling units, far exceeding MPD provisions.

SOLUTION: Stop exploitation of Migrants for Vote Banks and CREATE LAWS FOR THEM TO AVAIL OF VARIOUS WELFARE PROGRAMMES, without being forced into seeking Duplicate Voter Cards.  (Introduce Green Card Concept)

5. CONTENTION: Illogical Population Criteria for Delimitation, while increasing Geographical Spread.

SOLUTION: A balance of Geographical Spread, Population, Tax Collection, Infrastructure requirement etc must all be given due weightage. Democracy does not mean Majoritarianism, if the same formula were to be applied in Assam / West Bengal / Bihar / UP etc, then many High Density Areas would get many more MLA Wards ....... if such Delimitation is not acceptable there, then why such need in Municipal Wards.

6. CONTENTION: Populism and Discriminatory deployment of funds will be the net outcome of Population Based Delimitation. The Ministers, Mayor, Chairmen of Committees etc will now be from areas with more Councillors. Areas with SIX COUNCILLORS WILL GET DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF LAD FUNDS. Larger Geographical spread requires more funds due to Longer/Wider Road Network, Larger Parks, more Street lights, larger surface area for Sanitation, larger Network of Drains for desilting etc and such areas pay higher Taxes.

SOLUTION: Wide discussion with RWAs, Sociologists and Weeding out Dual Voters must be ensured before delimitation. Due weightage must be given to other factors and not just Population.

7. CONTENTION: Discriminatory towards Law Abiding Tax Payers in Planned Developed Colonies who are already disillusioned with Vote Bank Politics.

SOLUTION: Create Constituencies that balance Equitable Social Development, by ensuring franchise to Genuine Stake Holders and not freebees seeking Captive Bogus Voters.

CHETNA (NGO) and the Undersigned had earlier filed a PIL to end Boothwise declaration of election results, so that absolute secrecy of Vote is maintained to AVOID EXPLOITATION OF POOR AND RICH ALIKE (Law Commission has now cleared the proposal for future Elections). That is when we had discovered many loopholes in the process of making Voter Cards for Political Stranglehold.

These are preliminary submissions, I request you to give an opportunity to elaborate in person along with fellow activists so that our concerns are suitably addressed.

Warm Regards,

Rajiv Kakria
