Why don't we elect the representatives on the qualitative lines ?
Life goes out of gear at almost every downpour in the city. The so-called sewer lines, that were laid some 40 years ago have become choked & hence null n void. But there is none to care for the national capital and residents face severe hardships every monsoon with knee-deep water, potholes, etc. It is the most Polluted city. It is the most congested city. Encroachments all over. Traffic Jams have become a part of the life. Large uncontrolled Landfill sites and open Dhalao in every locality are responsible for the woes of the residents.

If this is the status of Water Logging in Delhi, Can you guess which Civic Agency is working for the City, seriously?
The question is that how long this will continue? When the voters will come to their senses to elect the representatives on the qualitative lines.

TOI: Moderate rain creates ugly splash, again
BS Vohra, who heads the East Delhi Joint RWA Forum, questioned the claims of civic officials and demanded accountability. “These scenes are repeated every few days. Do the civic bodies have the right then to collect taxes?” he said. “We pay penalties when we don’t pay taxes. Similar treatment should be meted out to the officials if their work fails to meet expectations.”

Meeting with the Power Minister of Delhi
Today, we had a meeting with the Power Minister of Delhi at his residence along with Mr. Rajiv Kakria and Mr. Saurabh Gandhi. Though we discussed all the issues concerning the Fixed charges of Electricity but seems it will be difficult to crack the nut so easily. You too will have to join us in the efforts to raise the issue.
Please note, we are paying the Fixed charges of Electricity on the Total Sanctioned Load of 22,876 MW, while the Highest Ever Peak Load of Delhi is just 7,115 MW. We are regularly raising the issue since March 2018 onwards, when DERC had announced a massive hike in the Tariff of Fixed Charges.

Why don't you join us in our efforts and send a mail or a tweet to the Power Minister of Delhi asking,"why we have to pay the Fixed charges of Electricity on the Total Sanctioned Load, while the Highest ever Peak Load of Electricity is much lesser ?".

Load reduction of Electricity ?
Discoms had sent a Notice for the Load reduction along with your Electricity bills after March 2018. Please check all those bills and if any such message is there, you can move forward. Though for the Sanctioned Load of up to 5 kW, they had done it automatically, those having a Sanctioned Load of above 5 KW, consumers had to go to the Discoms office to get the Load Reduction.
Similarly, those having Lifts in the home with 11 kW sanctioned load had the opportunity to get the Load Reduction. It was converted into 3 kW or 5 to 6 kW at different periods of time. Please check your bills after March 2018.
Load reduction of Electricity ?
Grateful to the Forum for taking-up the common cause reg. woes faced by citizens reg. Sanctioned Load. I too am a victim of unreasonable & unprecedented hike in electricity bills taking the magnitude of the sanctioned load as the benchmark.
Meanwhile, I want to get my "SANCTIONED LOAD" reduced from BYPL by 'online' mode to get immediate relief.
KINDLY GUIDE ME BY RETURN MAIL: HOW TO GET THE LOAD REDUCED FROM BYPL 'ON-LINE'

DDA-Delhi Destruction Authority..... Issues Notice to Relax Norms for Industries in Residential Areas
Not Satisfied with the Supreme Court calling it ‘Delhi Destruction Authority’, DDA now actually wants to live up to its GIVEN NAME. On 25th July a few days after DDA Vice Chairman and SDMC Dy. Commissioners were made to appear before the SC for going slow on Sealing, DDA came up with another Public Notice inviting Suggestion/Objection to Relax Norms for running Industries in Residential Areas.
Sad but such are the tough times we are living in, there is no hope of Political Support coming as NOTE BANKS matter more both as voters and pandering to Migrant Voters who are here only to make a living. ‘SAVE OUR CITY’ Campaign (SOC) was launched by concerned RWAs, NGOs & Activists and have presented their concerns over the deteriorating Environment, crumbling Infrastructure and general Quality of Life.
SOC is Grateful to the SC-appointed Monitoring Committee which has diligently placed the concerns of Citizens in the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Suggestions/ objections were earlier invited by DDA regarding Modifications in MPD 2021 in Feb. 2018. However Petition of SOC was in most part ignored and no explanation given, in the absence of a Speaking Order.
We expected that after Five Months of SC Hearings and umpteen oral and recorded Observations of the Hon’ble Judges, DDA will factor in the issues that have been flagged therein. DDA did not include even those Points that they had promised in their earlier Affidavit to the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
The bizarre changes being contemplated by DDA in the Proposed Amendments in MPD-2021 to Relax Norms to run Industries in Residential Areas will make it impossible to retrieve the sorry state Delhi has been rendered into. All Residential areas being turned into Shopping Complexes; Trees being Chopped by the Thousands to create more commercial space in the guise of Housing for Babus; Industrial Norms being Relaxed to accommodate Industries that were supposed to have been relocated ...... WHERE WILL THE MADNESS END........ WILL THE CITIZENS RISE???

Delhi CM Kejriwal tearing up report on CCTVs a political gimmick, says Opposition
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday tore a report on CCTVs prepared by a special committee constituted by the L-G and said that his government would start installing the cameras without a licence from the Delhi police.
Lieutenant governor Anil Baijal’s office issued a statement on Sunday evening saying that some misconception was being spread about the draft rules for regulation of installation of CCTVs after chief minister Arvind Kejriwal tore a copy of the draft rules and said the government was going to go ahead with the cameras without seeking licences. The Opposition too criticised the chief minister’s “mega meet” and called his act of tearing the report a “political gimmick”.
“It is reiterated that the draft rules put out for public suggestions/objections/feedback by the committee have only prescribed a reporting mechanism not a licensing mechanism....The rules have been put out in public domain for suggestions so that a proper framework for installation of CCTV in the city can be evolved,” the statement said.
The L-G office said that in the past there have been instances of misuse of CCTVs for intrusion and for invading the privacy of individuals and stressed the need for a framework for installing and operating the cameras.
Kejriwal, late on Sunday night, replied to L-G in a tweet and said “Sir, we r not putting cameras in people’s bedrooms. I fail to understand what purpose wud be served by making police license mandatory for CCTV cameras?(sic).”
Sir, we r not putting cameras in people’s bedrooms. I fail to understand what purpose wud be served by making police license mandatory for CCTV cameras? Height of license raaj.
Leader of opposition at Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta too said that tearing the draft report was a “political gimmick” and the meeting was a “political rally”.
“In the last three-and-a-half years, the government has failed to govern and not delivered promises like WiFi, Lokpal, Swaraj Bill or CCTV. On one hand Kejriwal tears the draft report but on the other hand Satyendar Jain writes to L-G to extend the last date seeking comments on the report,” he said.
East Delhi RWAs Joint Front, president, BS Vohra said that the event seemed like a”political rally.” Vohra said volunteers were ferried in buses from different areas. “The CM just spoke what he wanted. There was no one to one communication with RWA as what they wanted,” he said.
