Most Urgent: Striking Sanitation menace of East Delhi

Dear Mr. Arvind Kejriwal,

As informed earlier, today we met EDMC Mayor & she is saying that they have paid the salary up to September 2017, Paying Bonus, Agreed for CashLess & sent for approval, BUT DON'T HAVE Rs. 2000 CRORES TO PAY THE ARREARS. 

Does it mean that residents of East Delhi will have to face this striking Sanitation menace permanently?  Can we meet you to understand your point of view on this very serious issue?

Please revert. With best regards,

EDMC workers go on indefinite strike over non-payment of dues, people suffer

New Delhi [India], October 12 (ANI): The East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) sanitation workers went on an indefinite strike on Thursday over non-payment of dues.

The workers held protests against EDMC Mayor Neema Bhagat, outside her office in Delhi's Geeta Colony.
The protestors shouted slogans against the Delhi Government and the Centre. They also made an effigy of Mayor Bhagat, and took turns to blow kicks at it.
Meanwhile, the strike has caused inconvenience to the public, which complained of heaps of garbage lying at various spots in the city.
"We are facing a lot of problems due to the garbage; cases of Chikungunya and Dengue are on the rise. Workers don't come to clean, and neither drains nor the roads are getting cleaned. There are heaps of garbage at so many spots," Delhi resident Vijay Kumar told ANI.


"The problem has been continuing for two-three years now. There is always a strike for one or the other reason. We completely sympathize with the sanitation workers, but we'll also question our elected government, the mayor, and the MPs. What are they doing while the people are living in such unhygienic conditions?" said another resident, B.S. Vohra. (ANI)

बस अब और नहीं, पूर्वी दिल्ली का बहुत कचरा हो गया

पूर्वी दिल्ली मे सफाई करंचारियों की एक बार फिर से हड़ताल. सड़कों से कचरा उठना बंद. जगह जगह कचरे के ढेर लगने शुरू. ढलाओं मे भी कचरा भरना शुरू. फिर से वो ही गंद और बदबू का आलम. 



आख़िर चल क्या रहा है? कौन ज़िम्मेदार है इन हड़तालों के लिए, जो कि पिछले कुछ सालों से लगातार होने लगी हैं? क्यों सरकारी एजेन्सीस इन हड़तालों को रोकने मे नाकाम हो रही हैं? क्यों सफाई करंचारियों को उनके पैसे नही मिलते?

क्यों लोगों की तकलीफ़ों का हल नही निकलता? क्यों लोगों को इस कचरा राजनीति के चलते, खुद कचरा होना पड़ता है?  क्यों ये सब कुछ सिर्फ़ पूर्वी दिल्ली मे ही होता है? क्यों हमे इस सड़े बदबूदार कचरे के साथ जीने को मजबूर होना पड़ता है?

किधर हैं हमारे वो नेता, जो चुनावों से पहले तो बड़े बड़े वादे करते हैं, बड़े बड़े दावे करते हैं, और जीतने के बाद, सिर्फ़ दोषारोपण करते हैं? कब तक उनकी नाकामियों की सज़ा लोगों को भुगतनी पड़ेगी?

बस अब और नहीं, बहुत कचरा हो गया. अब इस कचरे को सहना मुश्किल है. अब इस कचरे मे जीना मुश्किल है. अब इस कचरे मे साँस लेना मुश्किल है. अब उन नेताओं को सहना मुश्किल है जो सिर्फ़ कचरा करते हैं.

दोस्तो आवाज़ उठाओ. अपने चुने हुए नेताओं को सोती नींद से जगाओ. उनको बताओ कि हम अभी जिंदा हैं. और जिंदा इंसान कुछ भी बर्दाश्त कर सकता है, लेकिन धोका नहीं, अन्याय नहीं. बस अब और नहीं, पूर्वी दिल्ली का बहुत कचरा हो गया.

This is to inform you that Navrachna Cooperative Group Housing Society is registered Society. In 1990 due to non visit by Registrar Cooperative Society & DDA representative the Society conducted self draw because the member were poor and can not afford to Pay Rent and Installment. The Registrar Cooperative Society has Cleared only 44 members in 1998 and No reason were given for not clearing the remaining members..

Residents oppose clause in proposed parking policy : The Hindu

The East Delhi Residents’ Welfare Associations Joint Front on Wednesday said it opposed a clause in the proposed parking policy that will charge people for parking their vehicles on roadside outside their houses.
The collective submitted an appeal to the Delhi government’s Transport Department and to the East Delhi Municipal Corporation.
The appeal said that the government can fix as high a charge in commercial hubs, markets, multilevel parking lots and on roadsides, but to charge a fee for parking vehicles outside houses will come as a jolt to the common man.
President of the RWA collective B. S. Vohra said that they will “vehemently oppose” this clause of the new parking policy.

Tax burden

“We are against any parking fee for parking our own vehicles outside our own houses. First the government charges us income tax then we have to pay as much as 28% as GST and other taxes for taking our vehicles out on the road, said Mr. Vohra.
“Apart from this, they charge us road tax and house tax. The government does not want to give us services in return for all the taxes they suck out of us but want to keep charging taxes,” he added.
“Each charge should come with a service in return. Just like if we pay for the parking in designated lots, then it is the operator’s responsibility to keep it safe. So, if we are paying the government for a parking spot outside our houses, will they guarantee that the cars will be kept safe? Will they ensure 100% compensation for each instance of vehicle theft or damage?” Mr. Vohra asked.
He added that the government should also in such case ensure that there are no potholes or waterlogging on roads outside houses where the cars are parked.



‘Explain decision’

Manohar Joshi, a resident of Patparganj and a member of the local RWA, also demanded that the idea behind the implementation of this charge be explained to the people of the city.
“We have asked for an appointment with the special commissioner (transport) regarding charging a fee from residents for using the space outside their own houses. What purpose will it serve? How will it decongest Delhi, and how will it bring down pollution? We just want to understand what purpose does this serve,” he said.
