ट्रॅफिक जाम की वजेह से लोगों का जीना दुश्वार !
| ||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
ट्रॅफिक जाम की वजेह से पूर्वी दिल्ली के कृष्णा नगर, लाल क्वॉर्टर, झील, गीता कॉलोनी आदि इलाक़ों मे लोगों का जीना दुश्वार हो गया है. कभी भी अचानक भारी जाम लग जाता है जिससे लोगों को भारी दिक्कतों का सामना करना पड़ता है.
इन अंदर के इलाक़ों मे ना तो कोई ट्रॅफिक लाइट्स हैं और ना ही कहीं आपको ट्रॅफिक कॉप्स नज़र आएँगे. लोग आपस मे ही लड़ झगड़ कर बीच बचाव कर लेते हैं लेकिन इस ट्रॅफिक जाम के कारण किसी भी समय कोई बड़ी घटना घट सकती है.
ईस्ट दिल्ली RWAs जॉइंट फ्रंट की टीम ने कई बार ट्रॅफिक डिपार्टमेंट को ट्रॅफिक लाइट्स लगाने की गुहार लगाई है और कुछ स्ट्रॅटेजिक लोकेशन्स पर ट्रॅफिक कॉप्स लगाने की माँग भी करी है लेकिन अभी तक कोई हल नही निकल पाया है.
ईस्ट दिल्ली RWAs जॉइंट फ्रंट की फरियाद पर ईस्ट दिल्ली के MP महेश गिरी ने भी LG साहिब को और ट्रॅफिक पोलीस को एक खत लिखा है, और इलाक़े की समस्याओं से अवगत कराते हुए, संज्ञान लेने की बात करी है.
ईस्ट दिल्ली RWAs जॉइंट फ्रंट के प्रेसीडेंट, बी एस वोहरा का कहना है कि कई बार इस ट्रॅफिक जाम मे फायर ब्रिगेड की गाड़ियाँ या फिर साइरन बजाती हुई आंब्युलेन्स भी फँस जाती हैं जिससे बड़ी गंभीर हालात पैदा हो जाते हैं. उनका कहना है की इस सब का कारण इलाक़े मे ट्रॅफिक लाइट्स का ना होना और ट्रॅफिक कॉप्स का अभाव तो है ही, इसके साथ साथ, सड़कों पे भारी एंकरोचमेंट और बेतरटीबी से पार्क की गई गाड़ियाँ भी हैं.
यक़ीनन इलाक़े की समस्या बड़ी ही गंभीर है और वक़्त रहते अगर सही कदम ना उठाए गए तो किसी दिन कोई बड़ा हादसा हों सकता है. कृष्णा नगर मेन रोड पर कम से कम आठ से दस बेंक हैं और उनके कस्टमर्स की आवाजाही के कारण ढेर सारे स्कूटर और कारे वहाँ लगी रहती हैं. क्यों नही ये सभी बॅंक मिलकर कुछ लोगो को डिप्लाय करके, कम से कम अपनी रोड को ट्रॅफिक जाम से मुकत कराते. इसी तरह से अगर पर्शासन और इलाक़े के लोग मिल कर कुछ इलाक़ों को वन वे घोषित कर दें और उसका सख्ती से पालन हो तो समस्या को सुलझाया जा सकता है. ट्रॅफिक पोलीस भी अगर चाहे तो कुछ लोकेशन्स पर ट्रॅफिक लाइट्स लगा कर और ट्रॅफिक कॉप्स को खड़ा करके, समस्या को सुलझाने मे मददगार हो सकती है. ईस्ट दिल्ली RWAs जॉइंट फ्रंट की टीम इस बारे मे ठोस कदम उठाने के पर्यास मे सामने आई हुई है.

True friendship !
I never knew about the real friendship till I met a reporter of a Top News channel. He came
to me for recording my Interview and left after doing the news story. Next day
he again called me for my opinion on another issue & soon it became a
routine. We started calling each other regularly and he started discussing
almost every news story with me.
We never knew that with the
passing of time we had become friends and that too so close that we started
missing each other if we had no talks even for a single day. It was a pleasant
surprise for me and my family when, a day before Diwali, he visited us with
Gifts for all. We too visited him on the day of Diwali and it became a routine.
Probably that
was the beginning of a real friendship between us. Though I was a very reserved
type of person, he was of a very joyful nature. He always had a smiling face
and always encouraged me to speak boldly on various issues concerning the
general public. He even added my name as the contributor to the data shared for
the Documentaries that he made for a corporate house.
Soon he
became a family member for all of us. He used to call my wife – Bhabiji and
always boosted my daughters to speak in public. Though both of us were married,
we used to attend various marriages together and celebrated the festivals and
family events together.
All this
continued for a few years and we were becoming closer by the passing of every
day, but probably fate had a different story in the process. On a fine morning,
he called me and told that he will reach me in an hour for doing some story,
but after almost half an hour I got a call from a common friend that he had met
with an accident.
We rushed to
the hospital and yes, he was there, lying in a pool of blood, covered with a
white bed sheet. He was no more. He was dead. I was shivering like a hell, but
nothing was in my hand. I cried, shouted at him, but probably he had to do some
story with the God almighty and so he left in a hurry. Even now while I am
writing these lines, my eyes are full of tears which reminds me the true
friendship between us.

Say NO to Made in China this Diwali !
While our soldiers have done a great Surgical Strike on the Pakistani Terrorists inside POK, can’t we, the residents of India China China China China Pakistan
SC ASKS CM, L-G TO HOLD MEET ON DENGUE, CHIKUNGUNYA
The Supreme Court on Tuesday brought together the Delhi Government, Centre and civic agencies on the talking table to discuss and devise a common strategy to counter the threat of dengue and chikungunya facing the national Capital.
The Court was pained to note that agencies working in the Capital were not working to fight the menace in the city with a spirit of “cooperation” and felt that the need of the hour was to ensure that all agencies shed their differences and work for the common interest of citizens of Delhi.
The Bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and LN Rao said, “In our opinion, for the general interest of the people of Delhi and considering the fact that a large number of people are affected by dengue and chikungunya, it would be appropriate if a meeting is convened by the Lieutenant-Governor on October 5 at 2 pm.”
The said meeting will be attended by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Health Minister Satyendra Jain, Delhi Chief Secretary, Union Health Secretary, Commissioners of North Delhi Municipal Corporation, South Delhi Municipal Corporation and East Delhi Municipal Corporation, Chairman of New Delhi Municipal Council, heads of Cantonment Board, DDA, Metro Rail, Northern Railways along with amicus curiae Colin Gonsalves, who is assisting the Court in the matter.
The Bench told the Delhi Government not to indulge in any blame game in the meeting and urged both Centre and AAP Government to discuss on what is to be done in future than dwell in the past. Further, the Bench added, “The participants should resolve issues relating to the better management of the problems faced by the people of Delhi due to dengue and chikungunya - and other issues, if so advised. The interests of the people of Delhi are paramount.”
The Court listed the case for hearing on Thursday expecting both sides to table a common agreement.
With the toll of dengue and chikungunya cases crossing 2,500 mark in the Capital over two months, the Delhi Government had informed Court that officers were taking orders from L-G office and defying Ministers of the hAAP Government. The Court had imposed a cost of Rs 25,000 on Delhi Health Minister for failing to name the erring officials. On Tuesday, the fresh affidavit filed by Delhi also did not name any officer.
Although Health Minister Satyendra Jain made certain personal remarks against the Health Secretary, the Bench ignored the same. Senior advocate CU Singh who represented the AAP Government urged the Court to waive the cost but the Bench bluntly refused.
Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar who represented the L-G also claimed to represent the Delhi Government indicating that all was not well within the Delhi administration. When the AAP Government chose to flag this issue as the root cause of difficulty, the Bench brushed it aside saying, “You (Delhi) are sitting with a closed mind. There is no difficulty, you are creating the difficulty. Why can't your CM and Ministers sit with L-G. There is no point in blaming anybody and looking to the past is not going to help. Look up to the interest of people of Delhi.”

Foggy impact of fumigation on dengue, chikungunya
The govt and the civic bodies have taken up fogging on a war footing, but experts are divided on its effectiveness in checking the mosquito problem
As the number of deaths from dengue and chikungunya spiked in September, the Delhi government and the municipal corporations responded in the way they do every year when cases of vector-borne diseases shoot up in the monsoon: they ramped up fogging, or fumigation, across the city.
Plumes of diesel and malathion, an insecticide that has low toxicity for humans but can be more dangerous if ingested, soon rose up from the roads and alleys.
On September 14, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Minister Kapil Mishra and BJP MP for north-east Delhi Manoj Tiwari were photographed on bicycles fitted with fumigation devices, spraying insecticide into the air in Sonia Vihar.
Full effort
The government and civic bodies pledged more resources to their respective efforts. Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said 600 more machines would be deployed. The cash-strapped East Delhi Municipal Corporation recently procured 30 new hand-held devices, adding to the 182 it already possessed.
In total, the EDMC, the North Delhi Municipal Corporation and the South Delhi Municipal Corporation have 1,100 hand-held fumigation devices. The three corporations also have 25 vehicle-mounted fogging machines.
‘Minimal impact...’
There’s only one problem.
Experts, municipal officials and councillors are divided on whether fogging is really helping Delhi deal with the mosquito menace.
Councillors and municipal officials have repeatedly said in meetings of Standing Committees that fumigation has minimal impact on controlling the spread of vector-borne diseases as it only targets adult mosquitoes, not the larvae.
‘...but people are satisfied’
But, it works well in one way.
“People are satisfied. I can’t comment on the scientific impact, but the fumigation drive is working,” said Subhash Arya, the Leader of the House in the SDMC.
The SDMC has borne the brunt of the mosquito menace, with 353 of the total 1,692 dengue cases as of September 24 coming from South Delhi — the highest of the three corporations.
Mr. Arya added that while adult mosquitoes are killed through fumigation, the practice can’t lead to total eradication of the disease-carrying insects. However, he said the fogging efforts had been intensified.
Not all residents are satisfied though.
B.S. Vohra, the president of the east Delhi RWAs Joint Front, said that while regular fogging is being carried out, the results are short-lived.
“There is respite from mosquitoes for a few hours or a day at most after fogging, but then the mosquitoes are back. In almost every other household there is a patient of chikungunya or dengue,” said Mr. Vohra.
Apart from questions about its effectiveness, there are concerns about the environmental and health impact. As per the National Vector-Borne Disease Control Programme’s Operational Guidelines for Urban Vector-Borne Disease Control 2016, one part of malathion is to be mixed with 19 parts of diesel.
Last year, when Delhi saw a record-breaking number of dengue cases at over 15,000, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) had said that the fogging drive was ineffective in controlling the disease.
Adding to that, the director-general of the CSE, Sunita Narain, told The Hindu on Saturday that fogging was the “last resort” all over the world.
“It is being seen as ineffective. Over time, it builds resistance and even impacts water sources. What is being done for site management where breeding occurs? Every pothole, every garbage dump is a potential site for breeding,” said Ms. Narain.
Fogging has little impact on controlling the spread of diseases as it only targets adult mosquitoes.
