Because I'm A Delhiite...

In My Delhi Manifesto, I presented some of the causes maligning Delhi.

Here, I would like to present some viable solutions to the same and hope for the best.

• For improving the situation on the Security front, helpline numbers of hospital, police, fire station etc. should be readily accessible and the officers dealing should have an empathetic viewpoint so that one will not have to compromise with Security issues.
  
• Regarding Traffic Rule Violations, more strict rules for everybody including pedestrians, rickshaw pullers, bikers etc. and not just for cars and heavy vehicles need to be implemented, as many a times the former do not follow rules but traffic personnel do not nab them, or guide them to follow proper lane rules. Hence, even if they are at fault, the latter are made to suffer.Mobile traffic police devoid of corrupt officials should be appointed so that no one can escape by bribing them.
  
•  No one should be allowed to throw garbage and other stuff in the waters of the city - not even in the name of religion - so that crores spent in the name of Clean Yamuna don't go waste.
  
• Commercial vehicles polluting the city air should be checked from time to time and their licence should not be renewed if found unfit. Only heavy vehicles should be permitted to ply on Diesel fuel. Expensive Diesel cars and SUVs  should be banned.
  
• No illegal migration should be permitted in order to prevent messing up with basic civic amenities.
  
• Illegal encroachments must not be tolerated at any cost. Politicians (local MLAs etc.) should not compromise on this just to expand their vote bank.
  
• To keep a vigilant eye on the Mafias operating, proper sentencing and judicial procedures in the scenario of the accused being adjudged guilty must be followed diligently.
  
• Moral education for all levels of bureaucracy and politics needs to be revived from the old - school curriculum to create a sans - corruption environment. Strict & sincere vigilance is the need of the hour.

My Delhi Manifesto

Delhi - our very own "Dil Wallon Ki Dilli" - Why and How it has deteriorated so much that instead of being the pride of the nation (being the capital) it has got labels that no one of us is proud of!

      

So many problems have taken the shape of chronic wounds and Delhi is suffering as a diabetic patient - i.e. wounds are not healing fast or rather not at all. I fear if amputation stage is nearby!

     

  No one wants that certainly. But for that we have to first detect the cause and then the solution.

        

In My Delhi Manifesto, I would like to point out some of the problems we face daily.

So, here's the list of Delhi's Woes :-

• Security of children, women and elderly - both indoor and outdoor is at stake.
• Traffic rule violations committed by all types of vehicles is increasing day by day. Whether it is red light jumping, over speed, rash driving, wrong overtaking, not driving in their lane or no rules being followed by pedestrians, cyclists, rickshaw drivers, carriage autos, buses and trucks etc.
• Water pollution in Yamuna - by the industries or by the people throwing just anything from domestic waste, ashes, religious leftovers, painted idols, and what not into the erstwhile holy waters!
• Air pollution is also spreading at a fast pace. Neither the industries nor the automobile owners are ready to sacrifice their selfish motives for the sake of our environment.
• Illegal migrants from all neighboring states and Bangladesh, in particular are creating major infrastructure problems.
• Illegal encroachments of houses and shops are flourishing, hence destroying the once praised green cover of the city.
• All sort of Mafias - be it tent mafia, land mafia, beggars' mafia or eunuchs at the red light  harass people. Even Police are either hand - in - glove with them or show their helplessness in keeping a check on them. 
• The Root Cause Of All The Problems Is Corruption At All Levels!

Illegal Encroachments: Hard To Find Solution

Read another news with the same title "Illegal Properties Razed in XYZ part of Delhi", which spruce up every few days or months. But I really wonder whether it is going to improve the face of Delhi even a bit! Actually there are many steps in it.

1. First of all it takes years to get the orders for demolition for illegal structures of a particular area.
2. Then it takes months to process the order, thanks to the bureaucratic procedures in the concerned departments.
3. Then when it actually comes to the area, those irresponsible and shrewd citizens who are immoral and shameless enough to encroach the public land are ready to block the procedure and the officers following the orders of the court.
4. Then if by God's grace, all the above steps are cleared, flaws in our law spruce up.

Actually I think court must see to it that whatever property is razed, its owner should be under the lens of the authority concerned to get the material lifted from the place and sent to the designated dumping place. Why should government spend public money to do this which is the outcome of a misdeed of that person. I think when that fellow has to spend money on getting the razed material removed, he would think twice before restructuring the illegal structure (which happens in most of the cases and people rather use the same razed material for restructuring). Many a times they request the authorities not to raze the whole portion and that also helps them in restructuring it. Hence authorities should not show any sympathy to these people at that time and follow the court orders strictly.

Hence it takes years for decision and razing of the illegal property and just a few days for people to reconstruct it. The end result obviously is zero.

Many other honest people would have observed the same in many colonies, crib about it and don't know what to do as people are the sufferers when traffic jams occur on the roads which are wide enough if people don't encroach the land around  their homes.

Whenever the illegal property is razed at some place, that colony area and roads give such a nice picture of open area which we all honest citizens of Delhi want to observe and live in.

Many a times corrupt MLAs also have a role in it. When these immoral people tell them that they have been living in that "illegally encroached area" or doing their business from there for a very long time and hence they should be allowed to use it even now, just to gather their vote bank, MLAs tell them that they can do so and they will deal with the authorities on their own (which is obviously not legal). So these people's representatives who should advise them to follow the law, rather help them in breaking it. In doing so, these type of people have become so self centric that they are not bothered about the deterioration of their colony and the nation who they are supposedly representing.

Please, corrupt citizens and politicians, stir your souls and do the needful for the beloved country you are residing in as a lot of sweat and blood has gone in it to get our Independence. Don't be slaves again - this time of your corrupt minds and intentions.
