Lungs check up camp at Anand Vihar / Jhilmil - RTI says MOST POLLUTED !
'East Delhi RWAs Joint Front', will organise a Lungs Check up Camp at Anand Vihar as well Jhilmil ( Partap Khand ) on 14th September 2014. The camp is being held to check the actual status of Pollution in these areas after the RTI by the Joint Front, revealed the areas as most polluted.
What can pollution do?
Different kinds of pollutants can hurt our bodies in different ways. However, some dangerous health effects come from the most common air pollutants. Here are a few:
- Premature death,
- Shortness of breath and chest pain,
- Wheezing and coughing,
- Increased risk of asthma attacks, and
- Increased treatment or hospitalization of people with lung diseases, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Who is at risk?
Someone in every family is likely to be at risk from air pollution. Does someone you love belong to one of these vulnerable groups?
- People with lung diseases, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema;
- Children and teenagers;
- People who work or exercise outdoors ;
- Adults 65 years old and older;
- People with a cardiovascular disease;
- People with diabetes;
- People with low incomes; and
- "Responders" – otherwise healthy individuals who feel the impact of air pollution at lower levels of exposure than the average person.
Details of the Camp vide a pamphlet will be uploaded soon on the Blog. Those willing to get the lungs checked may feel free to mail us at the earliest. They may also contact Sh Balu ji, Sh Vinod ji, Sh Vinod kumar ji in the respective areas.

Cause of air pollution !
Out of order DTC buses on FLYOVERS lying for several minnutes are the main cause of increase in pollution level.The buses are not removed from the flyovers leading to long jams & increased production of toxic airpollutants.Buses are repaired on site by mechanic who have to come from the specific depot to which the bus belongs.It takes along time.This process must be improved.
Other cause is mismanagement of traffic signals by inadequately trained personnels.The signal is turned red when many vehicles are still to cross without any logical reason.Once the vehicles have started & are in motion ,it will take only few more seconds for many of them to cross.Maximum numbers should be allowed to cross when it is green.The signal lighting system should be managed in a way which gives maximum benefit to the people & causes least air pollution.
Pot holes just ahead of crossing & on the crossing slows the speed of clearence of vehicle & should be immediately repaired.Nearby RWA members should take up this responsibility.Bhagidari can publish the name of rwa supervising a purticular crossing.If each crossing is supervised by members of one rwa ,the traffic problem & the resulting loss of man hours ,increased air polution can decrease

Polluting & Unparked Delhi !
There is no doubt that both these issues are making DELHI as non living city. However if we analyze these problems to find out how is responsible then I find that the residents are most responsible.
1, Who built buildings without the provision of proper parking eg SANT NAGAR SOUTH DELHI
2. WHO misuse parking spaces for living (car garrage in residential units for living) basements for storage/ shopping / offices etc- violating rules.
3. not testing vehicles for pollution, using mixed fuel, parking without caring for planned parking lots close to own shops/ residences
4. NOt providing sufficient no of parking spaces as each space costs more then car cost
5. permitting mixed land use with following all norms and use streets for parking.

Polluting Status of Delhi !
Everyone is shocked on viewing the Polluting Status of Delhi, vide our RTI, published in Hindustan Times on 2nd of September, 2014. The covered areas included : R K Puram, Mandir marg, Punjabi bagh, Civil lines, IGI Airport, Anand vihar, Pitam pura, Siri Fort, Janakpuri, Nizamuddin, Shahzada bagh, Shahdara, ITO & 3 more locations with incomplete data i.e. Sarojini nagar, Mayapuri Indl Area & Chandni Chowk - Town Hall.
Most polluted was the Anand Vihar. Therefore, on next sunday we have a plan to check the Lungs of the residents of the Most Polluted Anand Vihar & nearby Jhilmil - Partap Khand areas, to understand the exact situation. We will move further to other polluted locations of Delhi soon. More details will be updated on the blog at the earliest possible.
Those living in the Anand Vihar, Jhilmil, Partap Khand & nearby areas may contact Sh T K Balu ji, Sh Vinod ji & Sh Vinod Kumar ji in respective locations. You can also mail us your contact number in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,

Comments : Pollution levels in Delhi.
Dear Mr. Vohra,
It is not surprising! However, Anand Vihar - means the entire east Delhi - has hit the headlines for something unwanted and undesirable! You know fully well that 1/3rd of Delhi's population is from our East Delhi. Is it not yet an another record! The number of vehicles and industries are ever-increasing in size and dimensions extensively. Will they not create all the pollution? Parking of vehicles has become the biggest problem, more than anything else, leading to skirmishes, manhandling and even physical combat with weapons culminating sometime in death etc. We have lost our balance, consciousness, friendliness and become most selfish and self-centered throwing all our ethos, culture, tolerance etc. we learnt over a long period of time from scriptures etc. Our children have become more intolerant and indisciplined and even their parents cannot control or even reprimand! Unless we reduce the number of vehicles drastically and use public transport extensively, the present piquant situation, which we made, cannot be overcome by any legislation or force!
With regards,
TK Balu/Anand Vihar
