सफाई अभियान की शुरुआत !
२ अक्टोबर से भारत में एक सफाई अभियान की शुरुआत हो रही है. मुझे लगता है की यह एक अच्छा कदम है और हर एक भारत वासी को इसमे जुड़ना चाहिए. आज के हालात इतने खराब हैं की आप किसी भी सरकारी दफ़्तर में जाएँ, किसी सरकारी अस्पताल में जाएँ, या किसी भी पब्लिक प्लेस में जाएँ, चारों तरफ गंदगी के ढेर मिलेंगे. और तो और, पान क़ी पीक की पिचकारी तो ऐसी चित्रकारी करती है की दीवारों की हालत देख कर रोना आ जाए. सड़को के किनारों को बेशर्मी से पब्लिक यरिनल बना देना तो एक आम बात है.
सबसे ज़्यादा सफाई की ज़रूरत है रेलवे लाइन्स की. रोज सुबह जब स्टेशन से ट्रेन निकलती है तो बड़ों बड़ों को भी बाहर देखने में शर्म आ जाती है क्योंकि इतना बड़ा ओपन, खुला टाय्लेट शायद दुनिया में कहीं भी नही होगा.
इसके साथ साथ, यमुना के किनारों पर जहाँ गुजरात की तरह लोगों को घूमने का आनंद मिलना चाहिए, वहाँ पर झुग्गी झोंपड़ी वाले इतना गंद फैलाते हैं की घूमना तो बड़ी दूर की बात है, वहाँ से निकलना भी हो तो नाक पे रुमाल रखना पड़ता है. इन सब के साथ साथ, यमुना में किसी भी तरह का कूड़ा, गंद, पर्दूषण के केमिकल्स के फेंकने पर रोक लग जानी चाहिए.
गली मुहल्लों के खततों की सफाई की नितांत आवशयकता है क्योंकि सफाई करमचारी तो सुबह अपना काम कर के चले जाते हैं और बचा हुआ कूड़ा सारा दिन उधर रहने वालों के लिए और उधर से गुजरने वालों के लिए मुसीबत बन जाता है.
इस सब के साथ साथ, लोगो की मेनटॅलिटी भी बदलने की ज़रूरत है क्योंकि विदेश जाने पर हम बड़े सॉफ सुथरे होने का ढोंग करते हैं और अपनी ज़मीन पे पहुँचते ही अपनी औकात पे आ जाते हैं. मुझे लगता है की विदेशो की तर्ज़ पे, भारत में भी कूड़ा डालने वालों के खिलाफ सखत क़ानून होने चाहिए.
इस मुहिम में सफलता सिर्फ़ तब मिल सकती है जब हम सब लोग इस मुहिम में जुड़ें क्योंकि ऐसा करने से हम किसी और का नही, बल्कि सिर्फ़ अपना भला करेंगे.
दिल्ली की सभी रेसिडेंट वेलफेर असोसियेशन्स को भी खुल कर सामने आना चाहिए.
धन्यवाद

Contaminated water for the last over 3 weeks ?
Dear Vohra ji,
Our colony has been getting contaminated water for the last over 3 weeks. It is reported that main sewerage system near Madhuban Chowk on Vikas Marg gave way resulting blockage of entire sewerage system towards Laxmi Nagar side. Due to leakages in sewer line as well as water lines caused the entire problem. With repeated vigorous follow up by us and other neighbouring colonies, DJB put some pumps to drain out the sewerage system, but even after three weeks, they have not been able to identify the leakages. Many residents fell sick due to contaminated water. They are using bottled water, but how long is a big question.
DJB has failed to give proper satisfactory reply. This is the state of affairs after paying 60% of the bill amount for "sewer maintenance' plus service charge and other taxes. We request the CEO, DJB and the LG to take immediate strict action against those who are playing with the health of the public. We even approached the Union Health Minister, Dr Harsh Vardan, but no action seems to have been taken from his end as well.

We need the continuous supply of electricity for the tall lights and the lights on inner periphey for people who utilise this park for evening health walks/sitting peacefully in the evening.Bothe the tall lights are not working for last many months or may be 2 years now and periphery lights are interitantly or seldom switched on .
There is a weekly Tezbazari bazar on Thursday on its outer periphery towards Swami ngar.so on Thursday , Garden becmes a thoroughfare for all the 5-6 surrounding localities (sheikh sarai-I,II,chirag Delhi,Swami nagar and savitri nagar (all surrounding colonies ) and it is very degerous for women and children and even elders to go through this park in Pitch dark to purchase vegetabes etc.otherwise also crime rate is high in SHEIKH SARAI AREA,SO MORE LIGHT IS A NECESSISITY.
I request MCD to look into this matter urgently.

Pollutants pose health risk at Anand Vihar : Hindustan Times : B S Vohra

Finnish expert links cell phones to cancer
NEW DELHI: Finnish scientist Dr Dariusz Leszczynski has criticised India-born oncologist Dr Siddhartha Mukherjee’s claim that there was no link between cell phone radiation and cancer.
Dr Leszczynski was part of a global team that labelled cell phone radiation as carcinogenic in 2011.
“I don’t know how he said this. I don’t know how well he is read and how much of expertise he has in cell phone radiations. I don’t think he read the hundreds of studies on cell phone radiations. He is an oncologist and I don’t know how much of research he has done on cell phone radiation,” said Dr Dariusz Leszczynski, who is also chief editor of ‘Frontiers in Radiation and Health’ and an adjunct professor, department of biochemistry and biotechnology, Helsinki University, Finland.
“Extensive use of cell phone for more than 30 minutes a day for 10 years could increase the risk of brain cancer. There is enough evidence from studies to substantiate it,” he said.

Lungs check up camp in East Delhi !
Today, we had Lungs check up camp by CIPLA at two places i.e. Anand
Vihar & the Vishwakarma nagar – Jhilmil. Two tests that were done today included the Peak Flow Meter Test & the Spirometry Test as below :
1. Peak
Flow Meter Test :
A Peak Flow Meter (Breathe-o meter) is a simple, affordable, hand held device which helps diagnose breathing problems and asthma in children and adults. It is also used as an instrument to monitor your progress when you are under treatment for asthma.
Just as you have a BP instrument to check blood pressure and the Glucometer for diabetics, the Peak Flow Meter (Breathe-o meter) is like a thermometer for asthma. As a patient, you will have to blow into the mouthpiece of the device, and the reading will be taken to check your lung power. Most doctors have the device in their clinic but it is also available at most leading chemists if you want to keep your asthma in check.

2. Spirometry
Test
A Spirometry Test is a more sensitive and sophisticated test which detects the signs of asthma early. The Spirometer is used to measure how much air your lungs can hold and how efficiently the air moves into and out of your lungs. In other words, it gives a good indication of your lung power and gives you accurate details about your breathing capacity. The lab or the doctor conducting the test will give you a printed graph of your reading, just as you get a graph when you do your ECG test.
Both the Peak Flow Meter (Breathe-o meter) and Spirometry tests are used to diagnose asthma and also help you measure your progress when your asthma is under control.
However, since these tests are not recommended for children below six years of age, you as a parent have to work together with your pediatrician, to make sure that your child’s asthma is diagnosed early and correctly, by paying close attention to your family history and triggers. You will also be required to visit your doctor regularly so that together you can monitor your child’s progress.

POLLUTION IMPACT :
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.
Please join us at the Lungs check up camp on 14th Sept. at Anand Vihar & Jhilmil. Details already posted on the blog. Next schedule of other areas to be announced soon.
Thanks
