Smart Health Card must include at least a basic free health treatment, of up to Rs 5 Lakhs at any hospital in Delhi. NO FREEBIES. People can be asked to pay for this Mediclaim Policy, at very nominal rates, to be decided by Delhi Govt., after negotiating with various insurance company's.
BS Vohra, president of, East Delhi RWAs Federation, said imposing a penalty is just not right. “The civic body is ready to levy fines on people without even holding a discussion with the residents. They first need to provide adequate services. When there is waterlogging in the streets and potholes, there is no penalty imposed on the civic body for inconveniencing residents,” said Vohra.

Resident groups said the city’s situation during sharp spells of rain highlighted the apathy of the city’s civic agencies.
“IIT-Delhi submitted its final report on the city’s Drainage Master Plan in 2018. Why has the implementation process not started even after three years? This could have saved the residents from these regular waterlogging woes,” said BS Vohra, president of Federation of East Delhi RWAs.

Is there any agency that is answerable to the public or is a blame game their only strategy?” groaned B S Vohra, head of East Delhi RWAs Joint Front. Like him, frustrated Delhiites took to social media on Saturday to raise a collective sigh of resignation over the failure of the civic agencies in making the city floodproof. LINK
