In 20 Mins, Get That Heathrow, Hong Kong Ride

Trains From Spain Have Landed At Mundra In Gujarat, On Way To Capital; Promise Comfortable And Novel Experience

In five months from now, Delhiites can bid adieu to unending jams on the way to the airport and harassment by cabbies.

They will reach the airport from Connaught Place (CP) in specially engineered super luxury Metro coaches, which promise a noise-free ride in a plush ambience, in all of 20 minutes.

The first lot of new trains arrived at Mundra port, Gujarat from Spain on Friday and are on their way to the Capital now. The special coaches have specially been designed for the showcase Airport Express Line, which is scheduled to open in September this year.

The new trains are very different from the existing ones running on the Delhi Metro network. These will have seating for all passengers and the seating is transverse commuters will face the direction of movement of the train for added comfort.

The interiors of the trains have been designed keeping commuter comfort in mind. The lighting is diffused, the seats upholstered, and each coach will have LCD screens for entertainment, which will double up as flight information boards for convenience of air travellers.

Even as the trains zip past the city at a speed of about 120 kmph (the designed speed is higher at 135 kmph), one will not feel any discomfort inside the coaches.

The trains are engineered to reach near-zero noise levels and all the components flooring, insulated walls, windows have in-built noise reduction features. The wheels too have added lubrication for less noise and better riding comfort. The train doors are plug-and-shut type, which shut after sliding out a bit and then move back into original position.

Preet vihar area bhagidari meeting on 23rd April 2010 at DC office

Invitation letters have already been issued regarding above meeting. The already discussed items have been itemised and now it becomes easiers to chase up.

Unfortunately for us residents of Madhuvan...none of items already discussed and part of agenda in 2009 and 2008 (but remaining pending) are not appearing in agenda. I hope this is an honest ommission and I am therefore placing on record so that these are followed properly.

NAGRAJ MUNI MARG : From T point of patpar ganj ..vikas marg to preet vihar near durga mandir...it is impossible to walk along foot path. House owners have ZIGZAGGED IT, CONVERTED IT TO A PARKING LOT and no space for pedestrian, because taxi stand, dhaba and fruit permanent stalls occupy foot paths.At couple of places, concrete benches have been made to block 100% foot path. Easiest solution was to raise foot path level as has been done along sharpur side road. Already this item was minuted and responded by traffic police.

Clearance of PUBLIC NUISANCE CAUSED BY UNIVERSAL PUBLIC SCHOOL PREET VIHAR NEW DELHI 110092 BY REMOVAL OF BLOCKAGE OF MADHUVAN 15 ROAD . This item remained on agenda for more than four years. In fact honourable LT.GOVERNOR DELHI ALSO SOUGHT REPORT. DDA chief engineer in one report admitted of this encroachment in one of his report which is part of bhagidari records. Public Grievance Commission also heard this matter....OP RAI SECRETARY DOCHBS LTD VS MCD SDM PREET VIHAR WAS DIRECTED TO TAKE COGNISANCE AND REMOVE THIS ENCROACHMENT OF PUBLIC ROAD OF MADHUVAN. Action is still pending and public is deprived of use of this public road despite follow up with various authorities from 2005 on ward till date.

HOPE THIS MATTER OF PUBLIC INTEREST IS DECIDED AND ROAD RESTORED FOR PUBLIC USE.There are other items, like installation of CCTV CAMERAS, REMOVAL OF TRAFFIC BOTTLENECKS AND HAPHAZARD PARKING OF VEHICLES ALONG SERVICE ROAD FROM NIRMAN VIHAR TO LAXMI NAGAR METRO STATION.

Respected vohra ji....kindly consider to submit memorandum to chief minister regarding blogged items so that authorities are made to act.

Dirty, smelly water in F Block, Krishna nagar

Now a days, the residents of F Block, Krishna nagar, are suffering from the Stomach Ailments. Some have extreme gastric problems & some others have loose motions as well stomach pain. All this is due to the dirty, smelly water being supplied in the Taps by the Jal Board. Some times the water is so dirty that you can match it with nullah. When it is not so dirty, it is so smelly that even after Filtering it, it is not drinkable.

Yesterday, we spoke to Mr Kapil Kapoor, a local resident. He said, " its better for the kids to drink Cold drinks instead of the Tap water as water quality is really bad, even though, the cold drinks are no good for health". Mrs. Raj Rani Ahuja from the same area, exhibited a glass of dirty water. Mrs. Pooja Dhawan said that we can not drink this water, even after properly filtering.

We request to our Area MLA Dr Harshvardhan as well MCD Councillor Dr. Monga, to please look into matter in an urgency.

Property tax form for 2010-11

It is a pity that the MCD's Property tax office located in Geeta Colony does not make available requisite number of forms requested for by the RWAs. The residents are willing to pay the tax much in advance of the target date but the MCD is loathe about it. We had requested for a camp at our society's office and make available the necessary number of forms but lo, silence prevails and they don't reply to any letters unless and until you visit their office a large number of times and meet babus and beg for the camp and no. of forms.

We can't understand why when residents are readily willing to pay in advance, the MCD Property tax office sit idle till June and hurry up to make collection. Our simple request is to arrange to hold the camp at the earliest in Anand Vihar Society's office where requisite facilities will be provided and make available the requisite number of forms requested for. Or make it available on the website so that we could download and get them printed for our use. Form available on the website pertains to 2009-10. Last yeat too considerably delay took place in making available the forms and holding the camp.

We trust you could help us which will be of immense assistance to each and every RWA!

Few questions about Cell Towers to be asked from MCD

1. Do you agree that the cell towers remit radiation ?
2. If yes, what are the prescribed safe remission limits ?
3. Do you have any track record of all the cell towers of Delhi that what is the actual level of radiation remitted by each one of them ?
4. If yes, how many of these were remitting radiation over & above the prescribed safety lavels ? Please give us a list.
5. It is said that the proportion of newly developed cancer cases was three times higher among those who had lived during the past ten years at a distance of up to 400m (about 1300 feet) from the cellular transmitter site, compared to those living further away. Do you have any data or track record of percentage of cancer patients in the areas as above ?
6. It is said that, “People who are living near mobile tower 400-500 metres should get their houses tested for radiation and use anti-radiation devices to prevent diseases”. Have you taken any steps in this regard ?
7. If not, WHY ?
8. Do you think that instead of caring for the lives of Delhites, just raising the Fees from 1 Lakh to 5 Lakh is the step in the right direction ?
9. Do you think that snatching the right of RWA’s to refuse to install the cell towers in residential areas of Delhi is in the right direction ?

TOWERS FOR MOBILE PHONE SERVICES

Kindly recall eariler messages appearing in this blog. Please vohra ji, advise if all messages published on a particular subject could be viewed at one place and one after the other.
In this way, views already expressed and now being amplified could have a better effect.
On this very subject TOWERS OF SHAME my message would be relevant.
In europe, america,gulf countries and in egypt, towers like minare kulalumpur or like our tv tower pritam pur in north delhi are erected and utiised for wireless services including mobile phones.
What was the back ground (except cost cutting) to allow such towers in residential colonies need to be spelled out. NOT ONLY LEGAL BUT ILLEGALLAY ALLOWED AND FUNCTIONAL TOWERS ARE ADMITTED BY MCD.
MORE THAN 2900 OUT OF 5000 TOWERS ARE ILLEGAL.
The officers allowing such financial loss have gone scot free.
Right from commissioner down below to dy.commissioner heading zones need to be made answerable and recovery made from their salary. The area councillors whether in power or in opposition also must share their valuable thoughts on this matter.
It is common knowledge that nothing illegal can come in their constituencies unless it has their tacit or otherwise blessings.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR US AND FORTUNATELY FOR THEM..public memory is short.
This issue has already been raised and CIC ORDERED appropriate action. Orders are available on their web site.
Citizens group must unite and follow up.
LET THIS BLOG GIVE A LEAD.

RTI on details of mobile towers spreading radiation ?

We must file an RTI for details of Cell Towers which are remitting radiation. The fear of radiation can be seen by the emergence of COBALT 60 in the Mayapuri Scrap Market. But whats about the spread of radiation by these Cell Towers directly in our homes which is responsible for the spread of cancer.

Views of our members, subscribers & visitors are being awaited.

Impact of mobile towers spreading radiation in residential areas

This is the Impact of radiation being spread by Mobile towers on Rats, who never use the mobile phones. Just imagine the impact of these mobile towers on human beings, who never leave the mobile phone. Ever thought about the LEVELS of radiation spread by these mobile towers ? You will be shocked to find that in majority of cases, the radiation being spread is over & above the normal level & almost touching or even above the alarming leval. We are allowing this radiation in our residential areas, in our homes and it is one of the major cause for the spread of CANCER.
