CM Arvind Kejriwal,
Subject: Human lives are MORE important in a city 1. with a huge population of Senior citizens with comorbidities; 2. with insufficient health infrastructure to look after a huge population.
Dear Sir,
Human lives are MORE important. We just can't let the markets remain all open for the sake of the economy & let the people die in a city, where there are lakhs of 60+ senior citizens with comorbidities. We must impose certain restrictions for their safety. We just can't turn Delhi into Lombardy in any case.
There are lakhs of citizens in our city who just can't get the treatment as we don't have sufficient infrastructure. With just 2353 ICU beds & 1362 ventilators, we can't take care of the economy of Delhi, instead can easily turn it into a burial ground.
Moreover, the most polluted capital, facing the severe surge of Coronavirus pandemic can't be left on its own, while people don't want to wear even a mask, rest aside the social distancing as you yourself had announced that चिंता करने की कोई बात नहीं है।
Please note, each & every life is precious for their family members & you just can't put these precious lives at stake at the cost of your revenue.
You must understand that it's the responsibility of your Government to check the Coronavirus Pandemic Deaths in the city & it is the responsibility of your Government to provide suitable health facilities for all.
But Deaths have risen significantly in Delhi, & your Government hospitals are not at all capable to offer the Quality treatment to the patients. People are forced to sell their valuables for treatment at various private hospitals.
Human Lives are more important CM Saab, & in case you still don't want to impose a LockDown, you must impose much stricter restrictions on the Markets & all the commercial activities, to safeguard the lives of the residents of Delhi.
You must also provide for the Free treatment of all the Corona patients at all the Private hospitals, and you must compensate the residents suitably, for each & every death in the city, as we have elected a Government Of The People, By The People, For The People.
With best regards,
B S Vohra

Mr. M K Malhotra: Now the residents of Delhi are very much concerned about their lives in this city especially senior citizens like me and thinking of moving out of town for some days. Delhi govt has not taken any concrete steps in Nov but busy in spending on advertising and praising on its own.
Mr. Chandarmohan Dewani: Shocking aspect is that the government is more concerned with revenue collection than human life so people should work collectively and should not depends on the government.
Mr. Vipin Mahajan: Now people are not important in their view because this is not election time?
Subject: #Delhi requires many more #COVID19 ICU Beds & Ventilators, immediately.
Dear Sir,
#Delhi has ONLY 1342 #COVID19 ICU beds with ventilators & ONLY 161 vacant at this minute as per your App.
#Delhi has ONLY 2184 #Coronavirus ICU beds without Ventilators & ONLY 248 vacant at this minute as per your App.
#Delhi is now getting 7000 to 8000 cases a day presently, due to #Corona surge & the number of ICU Beds & ventilators is quite insufficient.
#Delhi may get many more cases if RT-PCR tests are doubled, to combat the #pandemic, as announced by Home Minister Sh Amit Shah.
Therefore, Delhi immediately requires MANY MORE ICU beds & ventilators to save the precious lives of citizens else the fatalities may go up significantly.
Please look into it & arrange the suitable numbers immediately.
#Delhi breathed 34 times of PM2.5 and 25 times of PM10 Last Night amidst the #Corona scare. Must look into these figures of high levels of PM2.5 & PM10.
Is it possible for humans to breathe at such levels of #AitPollution in #Delhi?
How risky it can be, to breathe at the #AQI @ 2426, PM2.5 @ 2040 and PM10 @ 2530 ?
दिल्ली के अंदर कोविड-19 के बढ़ते मामलों और यहां मेडिकल इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर की समीक्षा करने के लिए आज एक उच्च स्तरीय बैठक की।
मई 2020 में मोदी सरकार ने दिल्ली की जनता को कोरोना से बचाने के लिए दिल्ली सरकार के साथ विभिन्न कदम उठाये थे जिनके सकारात्मक नतीजे सभी को देखने को मिले थे।
आज बैठक में विभिन्न निर्देश दिये।
1) सर्वप्रथम दिल्ली में RT-PCR टेस्ट में दो-गुना वृद्धि की जाएगी।
2) दिल्ली में लैबों की क्षमता का अधिक से अधिक उपयोग करके, जहां कोविड होने का खतरा ज़्यादा है, वहां स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय तथा ICMR की मोबाइल टेस्टिंग वैनों को तैनात किया जाएगा।
3) दिल्ली में अस्पतालों की क्षमता तथा अन्य मेडिकल इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर की उपलब्धता में वृद्धि की जानी चाहिए।
इसी दिशा में मई में बनाए गये धौला कुआं स्थित DRDO के कोविड अस्पताल में 250 से300 ICU बेड और शामिल किए जाएंगे, जिसे गम्भीर कोविड रोगियों का वहाँ इलाज किया जा सके।
4) ऑक्सीजन की सुविधा वाले बेडों की उपलब्धता बढ़ाने के उद्देश्य से छतरपुर के 10,000 बेड वाले कोविड सेंटर को और सशक्त किया जाएगा।
5) MCD के कुछ चिन्हित अस्पतालों को हल्के-फुल्के लक्षण वाले कोविड-19 रोगियों के उपचार के लिए डेडिकेटेड अस्पतालों के रूप में परिवर्तित किया जाएगा।
6) कोविड-19 संबंधी मेडिकल इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर की उपलब्धता तथा मरीजों की भर्ती की स्थिति के इंस्पेक्शन तथा पहले लिए निर्णय के अनुसार, बेडों की उपलब्धता की सही स्थिति को स्पष्ट रूप से दर्शाने के लिए, डेडिकेटेड बहु-विभागीय टीमें, दिल्ली के सभी प्राइवेट अस्पतालों में जाएंगी।
7) पहले शुरू किए गए सारे कंटेनमेंट उपायों की समीक्षा हो, जैसे कंटेनमेंट जोनों की स्थापना, कंटेक्ट ट्रेसिंग तथा क्वारंटीन और स्क्रीनिंग।
विशेषकर वह लोग जिन्हें कोविड होने का खतरा अधिक है उनकी लगातार समीक्षा की जानी चाहिए ताकि रोकथाम उपायों को लागू करने में कोई कमी ना रह जाए।
8) केंद्रीय सशक्त पुलिस बलों ने कोरोना से लड़ने में देश और दिल्ली की जनता का बहुत सहयोग किया है।
मोदी सरकार ने दिल्ली में स्वास्थ्यकर्मियों की कमी को देखते हुए CAPF से अतिरिक्त डॉक्टर और पैरा मेडिकल स्टाफ देने का निर्णय किया है, उन्हें शीघ्र ही एयरलिफ्ट करके दिल्ली लाया जायेगा।
9) आज की बैठक में यह भी निर्देश दिए कि कोविड-19 के होम आइसोलेशन में रह रहे रोगियों की ट्रैकिंग रखने तथा तत्काल मेडिकल सुविधा की आवश्यकता पड़ने पर उनको तुरंत कोविड अस्पतालों में शिफ्ट करने की जरूरत पर विशेष रूप से बल दिया जाए। जिससे अधिक से अधिक लोगों के जीवन को बचाया जा सके।
10) गंभीर कोरोना मामलों में प्लाज्मा डोनेशन और प्रभावित व्यक्तियों को प्लाज्मा प्रदान किए जाने के लिए प्रोटोकॉल तैयार करने के निर्देश दिए।
डॉ. वी के पॉल, निदेशक एम्स और महानिदेशक ICMR के नेतृत्व में एक उच्च स्तरीय समिति इसपर जल्द ही रिपोर्ट देगी।
11) दिल्ली में अधिक से अधिक लोगों की जान बचने के लिए केंद्र सरकार दिल्ली को ऑक्सीजन सिलिंडर, High Flow Nasal Cannula व् अन्य सभी जरुरी स्वास्थ्य उपकरण उपलब्ध करवाएगी।
12) सुरक्षा ही कोरोना का एक मात्र उपाय है, इसलिए लोगों को COVID-19 Behaviour के बारे में बताने तथा लंबे समय में मेडिकल और स्वास्थ्य मानदंडों पर इससे पड़ने वाले नकारात्मक प्रभाव के बारे में जानकारी देने के लिए दिल्ली में ठोस संवाद कार्यनीति होनी चाहिए। इसके लिए भी निर्देश दिए।
This is what we breathed last evening in Delhi. PM2.5 at 1058 instead of the maximum allowed 60 & PM10 at 1418, instead of the maximum allowed 100. PM2.5 was at 18 times while PM10 was at 14 times, while it is not yet Diwali:
And this is not the first time it happened here with us. It has become a routine for the last many years. We keep on Emailing, Tweeting to Authorities, but no one responds. We keep on waiting for the CHANGE, but it never comes, and this was the Status of Pollution in Delhi & around in the year 2019, as below:
This was the status of Delhi in November 2018, while on Diwali Day PM 10 Touched 4659, i.e. 47 Times of the Maximum allowed. And PM2.5 touched 3201, i.e. 53 times of the maximum allowed:
If not mistaken, this was the HT news in September 2017 - Breath Delhi Air, Die Early, which clearly showed the pollution status of our city, Delhi, The National Capital of India:
This one of my video on Air Pollution in November 2017 was widely shared by Yahoo News, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Movies, Daily Motion, Telegraph, etc., worldwide exhibiting a severe medical emergency in Delhi:
The Notification Dated 12th January 2017, about Delhi, in the Gazette of India, on Page number 7/24 clearly said,”As air quality analysis shows that most of the days during winter, between October 15 and February 15, fall in the AQI categories of Very Poor and Severe, it is appropriate to implement the measures that have been proposed for the AQI categories of Severe and Very Poor all through the winter, to prevent the occurrence of severe or emergency situations”.
Chicago University says that the residents of Delhi & NCR are losing up to 6 to 9 years of their life due to Pollution. CSEsays that every 3rd child in Delhi has a lung problem. UNICEF says that pollution is having a very bad impact on the brains of our children.
We tried our best to raise the issue regularly on every platform, be it Newspapers, TV Channels, or the Social Media, i.e. via our Facebook, Youtube, Twitter & Blog. We had even demanded a special fund from the Finance Minister of India for Delhi to control the pollution - B S Vohra, Environment Activist
We had even organized a meet of RWAs to discuss the Air Pollution issues in Delhi with Ms Anumita Roy Choudhury. A large number of RWAs & Experts participated in this meet along with Local Member of Parliament:
We keep on filing RTIs on the issues concerning the masses of our city, and one of our RTI was published in Hindustan Times on the Air Pollution issues, long ago in 2013 - 14, when we had organized several Lung Check-up camps also along with CIPLA:
The situation has worsened even further. It has become much more difficult to breathe in this severely polluted air and that too amidst the fear of deadly coronavirus. Just can not understand, why no stringent measures are taken by the authorities & why the residents have to breathe in the deadly air, year after year, for the last many years. Can only say:
इस कदर मुश्किल हुआ, जीना मेरे शहर मे,
साँस के हर घूँट मे बस, जहर निगलना पड़ता है!
May we request you to please look into it very seriously & take the stringent measures to SAVE DELHI from Air Pollution.
