New Delhi: People living in the capital want Delhi Development Authority to address the issue of parking in residential colonies in the revised master plan of Delhi. At the third open-house meeting called by DDA on Tuesday, residents demanded multi-level car parking in residential areas. Though the civic agencies in the city have taken up several parking projects, all have been planned at commercial sites.

Who is to be blamed for water scarcity during summer months? Are the developers making necessary arrangements for rainwater harvesting? These are very important questions and deserve serious answers

New Delhi: After Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) failed to keep the city clean, south Delhi RWAs have taken upon themselves to make things work. Now, residents of Green Park have decided to introduce the concept of model ward — when residents monitor the condition of the ward — in their area.

Campaign Against Bad Streets, Overflowing Garbage
New Delhi: ‘No Water No Vote’ — this is the message the residents of Dwarka want to convey to the political parties. Deprived of basic civic amenities for years, residents of the fastest growing residential hub in the capital have decided to come out in large numbers to drive this point home. The joint front of Dwarka residents welfare associations — Dwarka Forum — has planned an extensive campaign to ensure 100% voter turnout in MCD polls in April.

The works committee of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) today gave approval to various schemes of Rs 100 crore. The chairman of the committee, Jagdish Mamgain, said the scheme includes permission for construction of roads and drains in 24 unauthorised colonies listed in 1,639 unauthorised colonies.
The colonies include Sai Baba enclave Najafgarh, Jal Vihar Ph-II Dichau village, Ugarshen Park, Neel Kanth enclave in Najafgarh, Mahender Enclave at Khaira road, Prem Nagar Z-Block at Paprawat road and extended Abadi Dhansa village.

Several Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) and activists have strongly criticised the Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's recent statement on another power tariff hike in the Capital, terming it totally anti-people.

The festivities like Dussehra, Durga Puja and Divali will serve another purpose this year apart from celebrations as they will be used by the Resident Welfare Organizations (RWAs) to stage protests against the power tariff hike.

The main features of the festivals will include showcasing Durga killing the demons of DERC and discoms, fast running meters, blackouts, etc. These will be presented at the pooja pandals, most of which are set up in Chitranjan Park, Mayur Vihar and Dilshad Garden, said PK Roy, secretary, Federation of Chitranjan Park RWA.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has dismissed the plea for shifting of proposed solid waste treatment plant at Jhuriwala in Panchkula.

Resident Welfare Association of Sector 26 and Vijay Bansal, President of Shivalik Vikas Manch and INLD leader, requested relocating the proposed site for construction of solid waste management system far from residential areas as per the Municipal Solid Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000.

Fuelled by the Delhi government’s move to allow a CAG audit of power discoms, protests by the city’s Residents’ Welfare Associations (RWAs) against the hike in power tariff have been growing. On Sunday, the Delhi RWA Forum organised two meetings, in Jama Masjid area and Paschim Vihar. A day earlier, a ‘mahapanchayat’ of RWAs convened by the United Residents Joint Action held a meeting at Jantar Mantar.

According to Sanjay Kaul, chairperson of URJA, over 350 RWAs passed a unanimous resolution on Saturday on a set of issues that are sure to gain importance in the coming weeks.

Around 60 Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) across south Delhi and east Delhi have decided to force Delhi Electricity Regularity Commission (DERC) and Delhi government to roll back the recent 22 per cent hike in power tariff. They are not going to pay the increased charges in the coming billing cycle.
