Why don't we seek a Performance Guarantee ?

We ask for a Guarantee or a Performance Guarantee while purchasing anything & everything, BUT WHILE CASTING OUR MOST VALUED VOTE, WE JUST DO NOT CARE. WHY? Why don't we seek a Performance Guarantee for every vote casted by us?

Conversion of a horizontal Vote Bank ?

Conversion of a horizontal Vote Bank into a Vertical Vote Bank at the cost of the honest Taxpayers. Don't you think that it will attract more n more persons to Migrate to avail the benefits causing more n more hardships for the locals?

Pollution control day

pollution control day - Be a part of the Solution and not pollution - but only on the Social media - as there is no outcome in reality. Change does not begin with you, instead, it begins with me and us.

Air Pollution - Shockingly, the situation is very grim in Delhi !

Delhiites faced the worst ever Air Pollution crisis on the Diwali Night and there was none to utter a word on this mega failure of the concerned agencies. We Tweeted the details to our elected representatives on that very night itself. We forwarded the figures to various Air Quality experts who are regularly visible on the media, for the guidance over such a severe crisis. But we got no answer from anyone. Probably to keep mum is the better option, when the things are visibly out of control.

Please go through various screenshots embedded below, to understand the gravity of the situation on that night in Delhi:

Anand Vihar

PM 10 - 3744

37 times of the permissible limits

Ashok Vihar

PM 10 - 4184

42 times of the permissible limits

Dwarka

PM 10 - 1896, PM 2.5 - 1241

19 & 21 times of the permissible limits

Jahangir Puri

PM 10 - 4499, PM 2.5 - 3201

45 & 53 times of the permissible limits

Nehru Nagar

PM 10 - 3316, PM 2.5 - 2698

33 & 50 times of the permissible limits

Okhla Phase 2

PM 10 - 2974, PM 2.5 - 2555

30 & 43 times of the permissible limits

Patparganj

PM 10 - 2160, PM 2.5 - 1922

22 & 32 times of the permissible limits

R K Puram

PM 10 - 2925, PM 2.5 - 2301

29 & 38 times of the permissible limits

Rohini

PM 10 - 2688, PM 2.5 - 2348

Vivek Vihar

PM 2.5 - 3388

56 times of the permissible limits

Wazirpur

PM 2.5 - 4659

78 times of the permissible limits

Isn't it SHOCKING that while Delhiites were forced to bear the Pollution levels of up to 78 times of the PM2.5 & up to 45 times of the PM10, our Elected representatives are mum over this very serious issue? Moreover, while we are shouting here over the pollutants of Extreme levels of PM10 & PM2.5, we don't even know the exact figures of the pollutant PM 1, which is not being measured or at least not being shared by any of the official agencies, though it is much more dangerous & much more harmful for the humans.

Shockingly, the situation is very grim but we are not yet serious over the issue.

Proposed ban on non-CNG private vehicles will bring Delhi and suburbs to standstill, say residents

According to Delhi residents, the proposed ban on non-CNG private vehicles is not feasible given the lack of public transport options and poor last-mile connectivity from Metro stations.

Delhi residents and commuters from the National Captial Region are worried by the proposal to ban non-CNG vehicles as an emergency measure to check pollution levels. Calling the proposal “impractical” and “non-feasible”, they said if implemented, it would bring the national capital and its suburbs to a standstill.

The SC-appointed Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority (EPCA) has proposed a complete ban on non-CNG private vehicles in the wake of deteriorating air quality in the region.

According to residents, the proposed ban is not feasible given the lack of public transport options and poor last-mile connectivity from Metro stations.

B S Vohra, president, Federation of east Delhi RWAs, said the city would come to a standstill if all non-CNG vehicles are banned.

“How will people commute to work when buses are fewer than needed and the Delhi Metro is already overcrowded? It is best that the government declares a state holiday if such a measure is imposed and it has to be successful,” Vohra said.

Also, commuters said during winter, the streets are mostly deserted in the evenings and, hence, it is unsafe for women who work late hours.

Isha Malhotra, who travels from Greater Noida to Delhi every day for work, said she has odd working hours and is dependent on her vehicle to return home.
