Proprty Tax Issue : Must view & Revert

property tax and citizens

We must jointly submit response to arbitrary increase in property tax
it is necessary to expose the lax mcd on collection of taxes from only9 lacs properties as against existing 30 lacs.So if existing properties are brought in tax net,there may be even surplus money.
Perhaps it may be worthwhile to post salient features on blog so that constituetns or others could post comments quickly.

MCD - Property Tax

Dear Mr. Vohra ji,

You must have seen the 'Public Notice' relating to the interim report of the MVC and the recommendations of the MCD, copies of which are available at Citizens Service Bureau counters in Assessment & Collection (HQ), Lajpat Nagar on payment of Rs.50/- per copy and comments/representation thereon have to be filed within 30 days from the publication of the 'public notice' dated 2nd Jany.11. This is a very important matter grossly affecting everyone as the property tax has been enhanced to over 50% the existing rates. This is a very serious matter warranting urgent attention. You may please draw the attention of all our members and seek their comments which may be consolidated and presented to MCD, as required for their consideration. This is an urgent matter and please take immediate n/a, as you may deem fit!

With our renewed best wishes for the New Year,

TK Balu
Secretary/RBECHS/Anand Vihar

Delhi Police Plans To Name Drunk Drivers On Its Website

It could well be a 'Hall of Shame' on the website of Delhi Police if its plans to make public the names of those jailed for drunken driving in the national capital come through.

 

The move comes in the backdrop of its plan to clear the Delhi roads of traffic violators and educate people against the dangers of drunken driving.

"We are mulling the possibility of putting the names of those convicted for drunken driving on our website. We don't think that there could be any problem as it is a list of people who were jailed by courts," Satyendra Garg, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic), told PTI.

Last year, over 10,800 people were fined for driving under the influence of alcohol. Out of this, driving licences of 580 were suspended while 710 people were imprisoned upto ten days.

In 2008, a total of 7,579 people were prosecuted for drunken driving while the next year saw a steep increase in challans on this front to 12,109. The figure in 2007 for the same offence was 3,748.

RWAs now 'empowering' local politicians

NEW DELHI: The idea was to empower the local resident and help him or her highlight issues concerning the common man. Yet, a decade after the Delhi government decided to step in and set up the Bhagidari cell - an interface between the government and resident - the RWA movement, feel many Delhiites, seems to have turned into a beehive for local political agendas.

While some RWAs look for a political identity - by participating in polls like in Gurgaon, in Delhi, self-styled RWAs leaders have gone on to join mainstream politics. Even those that remain within the fabric of the movement are exposed to individual agendas, say various RWA members. The reason is not hard to find. In a city that prides itself on who knows whom or the ubiquitous "jugaad", the RWA has become synonymous with entry into the local political circle.

The RWA gets nominal financial funding from the government as part of the "My Delhi I Care Fund". This amount, Rs 50 lakh, is given to each district - there are nine districts in Delhi. The DC in turn, can distribute the fund to projects approved by a core committee headed by a SDM  provided the project is not worth more than Rs 5 lakh. In cases where the cost of work exceeds Rs 5 lakh, the sanction of the divisional commissioner is needed. The core committee evaluating the projects consists of members of local RWAs headed by the SDM. Government sources however, admit that while Rs 50 lakh is the fund provided, in cases were more funding is needed, a case can be made and the government will make provisions.
