Fw: Poor Maintenance
Col. (Retd.) Bharat panwar
Dear Shri Solanki,
With reference to my mail below, I find very little progress in the work. Some work of removal of the debris and bushes has been carried out on the side road linking Ramphal Chowk Plot 12,13,14,15,16 and 17 of sector 7. After removal of debris and the bushes there is at least movement of light traffic but not without danger to human lives. I mention likely dangers to as under:-
1. Some unmarked man- hole covers on the road are missing. Since this area is poorly lit, these open holes may cause accidents.
2. The 1.5’x6’x6’ raised unmarked platform constructed covering more than half the road with electric poles on the other side of the road covering little portion of the road making it a dangerous spot.
3. Right next to Sargodha (Plot 13) on this side road, there is a underground water regulator which is covered by an iron sheet. The cover of it missing for the last 6 months and has been a source of accidents and threat to human lives.
4. The foot path on the drain passing in front of Plot 12 to 17 is not maintained at all. Some time back the work of widening the bases of the tree was undertaken by the DDA. The work has been carried out in a shabby manner; heaps bricks and stones are left on the foot path over the drain, the tree bases have not been done up properly, the slabs on this foot path are missing but I find some layers of cement have been put on the sides of some of the slabs to permanently fix them but while walking on them the slabs still remain loose. Despite my repeated requests to Shri Sharma, no action has been taken. He puts entire blame on the contractor as if DDA has nothing to do in this.
After the removal of the bushes and debris from this side road, we observed that for next 2-3 days some 3-4 laborers were working to remove the left over soil/debris. This, instead dumping so manually collected soil/debris in the vacant plot right next to the road or ferrying it to some other suitable site, was put on the edges of the foot path/pedestrian walk on both side of this service road. This muck was allowed to stay there for 10-15 days by which time most of it fell back on to the road or disappeared into the green area or the main road. On my repeated requests, Shri Sharma did arrange to remove some of this soil but some of it is still left on the foot path in front of the Societies (Plot 16 & 17). Despite my repeated requests to Shri Sharma, nothing has been done. He only puts blame on the Contractor for delay and poor work. When told to have him removed, he says he has nothing in his hands, only senior officers can do some thing and then he washes off his hands.
No work has been undertaken to do the side road on the other side of the Road 202 except some garbage truck had lifted the garbage partially from the dump right next to the main road next to the missing side road where DDA sign posting is placed.
I am sure you will issue instructions to accord ‘PRIORITY’ to this area have the above attended to.
With warm regards and Happy “New Year”- Col (Retd) Bharat Panwar, President, Nehru Cooperative, Group Housing Society Ltd (Arunachal Apartments), Plot 16, Sector-7, Dwarka, New Delhi 110075, Mob 9811856730.
