As Jesus Christ ascended into heaven at the completion of His mortal ministry, two angels declared to His Apostles, “This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11).
When the Savior comes again, He will come in power and glory to claim the earth as His kingdom. His Second Coming will mark the beginning of the Millennium.
The Second Coming will be a fearful, mournful time for the wicked, but it will be a day of peace for the righteous. The Lord declared…..
PROFITEERING AT THE EXPENSE OF IDIOTS (like me, who still think that RULE OF LAW shall Prevail) ……. Has now become a MATTER OF RIGHT for the Law Breakers who now QUESTION …… Why were they allowed to break the Law by the Authorities ???
SUPREME COURT must take the blame also for sleeping over the Mess Delhi was hurtling into for the past decade ….. they slept 10 times longer than a KUMBH KARAN Sleepover. SC must be reminded that Citizens cannot be sedated into inertia …….. Life has to move on. The Arms of Governance meant to uphold SC’s Dignity and Rule of Law miserably failed them.
Other than the Judges, no one was fooled into believing the Authorities. Finally, the SC has woken up and has Ordered Restoration of the MONITORING COMMITTEE. Things have gone almost beyond redemption and whatever semblance of Order that can be restored will be at great cost to Citizens and the Exchequer. Delhi is already reeling under an Environmental Disaster and the Solutions Regulators like EPCA can think of are ODD/EVEN or HIKING PARKING FEE.
I had on 9th Nov. 2017 in the wake of the worst Smog had posted the following on Facebook ….. “#OddEvenBack unbridled MIGRATION; Ever Increasing Dwelling Density; 82 flights/hour DO NOT POLLUTE because they fetch VOTES.”
All the Ails that Delhi today suffers from are the result of ever-increasing Dwelling Density that DDA keeps introducing to the MPD-2021, which anyway is just a piece of paper that no one implements. DELHI IS AT THE POINT OF IMPLODING, with DDA Feeding on the GREED of Citizens’ keeps on relaxing norms to accommodate more and more Construction and Commercialization.
Delhi is a nonstop Urban Jungle with INTERMINGLING OF HABITAT & LIVELIHOOD (both Industrial & Commercial) and unplanned Rickety Structures, in Seismic Zone IV. DELHI IS SUFFERING DUE TO A FLAWED MPD-2021 that has ignored the following:-
1. INFRASTRUCTURE – Traffic Jams; Parking; Water; Power; Drainage; Sewage; Waste management
2.TRANSPORT – Bursting at Seam Buses/Metro; Unverified Fleecing Autos/Taxis/Ola/Uber; Road Rage
3.SOCIAL FABRIC – Disturbed, where strangers lurk; Eve-Teasing
4.SECURITY/CRIME – Rapes; Snatchings; Criminals commit crime and melt into the Crowed
5.ENVIRONMENT – Smog; Untreated Sewage in the Yamuna; Noise Pollution; Depleting Water Table
6.HEALTH – Overloaded Hospitals; Fleecing Private Hospitals & Path Labs; Dengue; Asthma
7.SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE – Encroached Parks; Few Playgrounds, Inadequate School & College Seats
8. PUBLIC SAFETY – Encroached Footpaths; Unsafe/ Insanitary/Dark Underpasses and Over Bridges; Disabled Non-Compliant
9. AESTHETICS – The less said the better ….. Non-stop Slum
The recently rejuvenated Monitoring Committee has again started the Sealing Drive and the Shopkeepers are up in arms. Political Parties are doing what they do best ….. POLITICKING …… instead of thinking for Delhi’s survival they are pandering to Vote Banks. YES, there will be some Genuine Sufferers who were misled into their decision ...... WE MUST DEMAND ACTION AGAINST DELINQUENT OFFICIALS.
Today on Christmas Day I wish to say, Jesus may not choose to come but this Monitoring Committee is our LAST CHANCE TO SAVE DELHI …… Please come forward in Solidarity with a Just Solution.
Warm Regards and Happy Gurupurab & Christmas,
RAJIV KAKRIA
PS: HAPPY GOOD GOVERNANCE DAY …… A Gentle Reminder to the Government....... :)
