Talking Point with B S Vohra; Why RWA forums are against Delhi Governments parking policy?

They just want money without providing any services.

RWAs are not against the Traders, instead, against the unwanted & undesired modifications being approved by the DDA, in the MPD-2021.

Just think that how they can approve the rampant commercialization of the city by allowing the basements for commercial purposes, by enhancing the workforce, by increasing the electricity load, by allowing the additional FAR, and a lot more, without any change, even in the basic infrastructure?

They don't have any check or control on the encroachments, no workforce or work plans to manage & control the traffic, no serious steps to check & control the Pollution levels that have become the cause of scores of untimely & unwanted deaths in the city. 

They just want money without providing any services. 

1. Why don't we ask them that how the Conversion charges were hiked from Rs 6,136 per sq mt to Rs 89,090 per sq mt in the A class markets, by the DDA? 

2. Shockingly, even after the reduction, these rates are still at Rs 22,274 per sq mt. Don't you think that it is a huge burden on the traders?

3. Why the traders are being forced to pay One Time Parking Charges, along with the Conversion charges, for those roads, where there is absolutely no parking facility anywhere?

4. Don't you think that Authorities cannot charge the Traders for the services, that they can not provide? 

5. Do you think, that rampant commercialization of the city is the only solution to stop the sealing? 

6. Can't they reduce the Conversion charges to a reasonable level to give a relief to the Traders?

7. Can't they approve the valid policies & mechanism to boost the city status, along with compatible infrastructure, to check & control the unauthorized growth?

8. Where is the money collected by them in the name of Conversion charges & One-time parking charges, in the last few years?

9. What steps they have taken to remove the encroachment from the streets in almost every corner of the city?

10. What steps they have taken to check & control the Traffic jams, Potholes, WaterLogging, Garbage, pollution levels, health facilities, social security?

Shockingly, it is not the end of such instances as under the Draft Parking policy, they now want the Parking charges, for parking your own car, outside your own home.  The crux is that, they just want money without providing any services and if the Draft Parking policy is approved, soon residents will face the sealing drive for Non payment of Parking charges for parking their own car in front of their own home, alongwith penalties & interest.

RWAs hail SC move; traders want a Bill to stop the sealing: The Hindu

DDA cannot allow rampant commercialisation: residents

The Supreme Court order staying any further proceedings by authorities to amend the Master Plan for Delhi 2021 was welcomed by the residents’ welfare associations (RWAs), while dismayed traders’ associations said the Centre must now introduce a Bill to provide relief to them from the ongoing sealing.

“The master plan is a sacred document that cannot be modified without application of mind and its purpose is to make Delhi a world-class city. The SC has rightly ordered in the matter to save Delhi,” said Chetan Sharma, secretary general of the Confederation of NCR RWAs (CONRWA).

‘Need correct policy’

“The government must plan a correct policy for traders,” read a joint statement by CONRWA and Save Delhi Campaign.

President of the East Delhi RWAs Joint Front Federation B. S. Vohra said: “The stay by the SC on any amendments to the master plan is on expected lines. We are not against traders but the Delhi Development Authority cannot be allowed to approve rampant commercialisation of the city without adequate infrastructure.”

‘Centre must take steps’

Traders’ associations, however, expressed “dismay” over the stay. “Since there is no other way left, the Centre should immediately formulate a Bill in the current session of Parliament to issue a moratorium on sealing in Delhi, looking at its repercussions which will destabilise the trade and economy of Delhi,” said Praveen Khandelwal, secretary general of the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT).

The traders also urged Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to pass a Bill in the Delhi Assembly to stop the ongoing sealing drive.

Senior DDA officials said that the final decision lies with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.

“Our responsibility was to approve the amendments which we did. Now the file is with the ministry and they have to take the final call and issue notifications. The DDA has nothing more to do” said a DDA official.

Since last December, the civic bodies along with the Supreme Court appointed monitoring committee have been carrying out a sealing drive in the Capital.

In a bid to provide relief to the traders, the DDA on February 27 had approved amendments to the city’s plan, including introduction of a uniform Floor Action Ratio for both residential and commercial plots.

Meeting with the Monitoring Committee of Supreme Court - NBT

Meeting with the Monitoring Committee on the modifications in the MPD-2021

Our observations on the Press Release - MoUD - Dated 26th February 2018

Our observations on the Press release issued by the MoUD on 26^th February 2018. We will be waiting for the official notification to get a clear picture.

1.
Permissible FAR : Uniform FAR (Floor Area Ratio) on shop-cum-residence plot/complexes of pre-1962 & post-1962 shall be as permitted for respective size of the residential plotted development as applicable on mixed-use/commercial streets.

>>>>> 

Rationalisation of various charges

Synchronization and fixation of charges (i.e. use conversion charges, additional FAR charges, parking charges, compounding charges, penalty etc.)

OBSERVATION – 1:

What do the additional FAR charges mean? Does it mean that by paying the additional FAR charges, one can enhance or regulate the existing FAR? If yes, then why the term Uniform FAR was used above? What will be its impact on the infrastructure?

2.
The permissibility of basements for commercial /professional activities is being allowed in shop cum residential plots/complexes as already applicable for mixed use /commercial streets.

OBSERVATION –  2:

If the above was already applicable to the mixed-use/commercial streets, how the Sealing of basements was being done till date?  If it was not already applicable and being allowed now, what has been done to check its impact on the infrastructure?

3.
One time parking charges shall be paid by the owner as down payment or maximum in four installments within a year. 

>>>>> 

In the absence of any land for the parking in the vicinity, such complexes/street shall be declared as “Pedestrian shopping street/areas”.

OBSERVATION – 3:

If after collection of One-time parking charges, they declare certain streets as the Pedestrian shopping streets, where there is no space for parking, will they refund the already collected one-time parking charges for such streets? Don’t they have the data to declare such streets as pedestrians in advance, to stop the harassment of the trading community? Please check the Delhi Gazette Notification dated 15^th September 2006, which says, “The pedestrian shopping streets identified by the Corporation in each municipal zone are as mentioned in Annexure-C-l to C-10 to this notification.”

4.
Increase in the number of workers as well as the load from 5KW to 11 KW in household/non-polluting service industries subject to statutory clearances from Labour and Industries Departments & Delhi Pollution Control Committee.

OBSERVATION – 4:

Don’t you think that by hiking the electricity load from 5KW to 11KW, they are putting additional load on the infrastructure? Moreover, have they done any assessment that what kind of commercial activities for the residential areas, require the enhancement of load from 5KW to 11KW?

5.
Local body in consultation with traffic police shall conduct traffic assessment and prepare traffic management plan for these areas. 

OBSERVATION – 5:

Does it mean that Local bodies and traffic police have not yet done any such traffic assessment, even for the critical areas & that’s the reason of severe traffic jam & congestion on almost all the roads of Delhi? If they have done any such assessment, why don’t they start implementing it immediately, instead of going for yet another assessment, that will waste a lot of time & manpower?

6.
Restricted entry/exit in shop-cum-residence plots/complexes towards the residential areas/service lane.

OBSERVATION – 6: How it will be implemented? They will require additional manpower to regulate it. Do they have that?

7.
Restaurants, clubs, pubs shall not be allowed in the residential premises as part of mixed use.

OBSERVATION – 7:

What will be the fate of the small hotels (Pakode wala, Samose wala, Dose wala), on the mix land usage that cater to the local residents? If these have such a big impact on the localities, how they have allowed Basements for the commercial purposes?

8.
Amount collected on account of various charges will be credited in an Escrow account to be used exclusively for augmentation of infrastructure facilities/amenities (parking, public toilet, water supply, etc.)

OBSERVATION – 8:

But what’s about the money collected by various agencies till date? Who will guarantee that the money collected after this notification, will be very strictly used for the purposes mentioned above?

Thanks & with best regards,

B S Vohra

Press Release - MoUD - Dated 26th February 2018

Press Release

New Delhi, 26^th February, 2018

·       The sealing against the unauthorized construction on mixed use/commercial street and other establishments running in the residential areas was taken up in 2006 by the Monitoring Committee appointed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. 

·       In September 2006, Government notified mixed use regulation as part of modification in Master Plan of Delhi 2021 and accordingly, 2183 mixed use streets and 355 commercial streets were notified.
