Reg: Inefficient & Corrupt Road Inspection in Dwarka.
Sir,
After not getting proper response to our RTI application dated 23 Sep 2014 we filed an appeal on 7 Feb 2015. In appeal to prove our point that there is no regular road inspection we attached more than a dozen photographs cetifying our point beyond any doubt.
Now after six months Surintending Engineer First Appeallant Authority CC-2 vide letter no. 2203 dated 24 Auv 2015 has stated “Inspection is carried out in routine and no record of inspection is made, all the field staff has to take visit his jurisdiction regularly….”
Is SE joking with Dwarkite, is he getting salary to cover shabby wok done by staff and himself. What does he wants to covey by saying that no record is maintained. What about more than a dozen photographs we supplied? Is there no dutiful & honest officer left in DDA? If despite so called regular visit this is the condition what would happen if no inspection would happen. By saying so FAA has only certified his incapability to handle the post. If civil department does not maintain road inspection report – what else they do? It is evident non-maintenance of road inspection report is the shield used to cover the carelessness/corruption.
If regular road inspection is happening and despite that there is encroachment – then it’s a clear cut case of open corruption. How can there be encroachment/obstruction on footpath? How can there be unrepaired potholes for years? How can there be un-authorised speed breakers? How can there be long open dug up places? How can there be uprooted tiles lying for months? How can there be broken boundary walls? How can there be unauthorized duming of malba? How can there be open main holes?
If learned Engineers of DDA functions of such logics, it is better that DDA should shut its shop and go out of Dwarka as soon as possible.
We hereby strongly demand that till the time road maintenance is with DDA proper road inspection records should be maintained in an online manner which are accessible to pubic for review - otherwise it would only promote inefficiency & corruption. All the JE must inspect the road at least once a week with following issues come on record:
a) Whether any kerb stone/tile is uprooted on central verge or footpath,
b) Is there any low level footpath allowing vehicle to climb it?
c) Whether any pothole is visible - if yes where and about what size?
d) Is any patch on road is about to convert into pothole?
e) Is any portion of footpath/road caved in?
f) Is there any open man-hole?
g) Is there any falling pole, railing, wire, overhead sign board, tree branch, dead animal lying on road etc?
h) Is there any obstruction on footpath creating problem for pedestrians?
i) Is there any dug up space on footpath or road inadequately barricaded or lying unattended for many days?
j) Is there any unpainted zebra crossing or speed-breaker?
k) Is there any encroachment on road or footpath?
l) Is entry & exit points of footpath have appropriate poles fixed so as to prevent climbing of vehicles on it?
m) Is there any water logging, construction material, debris, damaged vehicle or any other kind of material lying on road?
n) Is there any damage to any kind of street furniture?
o) Any other issue, as per common sense of concerned field staff,
Besides helping public, this will ultimately help DDA itself by reducing their workload in long run. Please note that earlier also we have stressed to maintain the road insection vide our letter no. SKG/DDA/268 dated 22/Mar/2015 addressed to CE.
Please acknowledge.
Yours faithfully,

Reg: First Appeal under RTI.
Reg: RTI Application SKG/DDA/257 dated 23 Sep 2014
Sir,
We had wide our letter no. SKG/DDA/257 dated 23 Sep 2014 sought following information:
Engineering Department
(i) In Dwarka more & more footpaths are being seen encroached & non-maintained, vehicles parked, caved in patches, obstructive sign boards, pucca encroachment, staking of construction material, improper entry & exit etc. Apparently it seems that no field staff has been entrusted with the duty of inspecting them regularly. Please inform in detail the systems & procedures in DDA-Dwarka about maintenance of footpath and frequency of its inspection to keep them free from any damage & encroachment. Detailed reasons for lapse in maintaining obstruction free footpaths may be provided? Please note that any unauthenticated reply shall be challenged on facts.
(ii) It is understood that a lot of DDA flats in Dwarka which have allotment life of even less than 10 years have got damaged due to falling roofs. It’s a serious matter that in such a short span of time this is happening. It is understood that DDA is also spending several crores on its repair. In this back ground please inform whether while carrying out repair any samples of material are collected/or other steps taken to ascertain the quality of work done earlier?
(iii) In Dwarka we find that many commercial buildings have put the space meant for parking to alternate use and are openly violating building by laws, As a result the parking is happening on roads creating chaos. Please inform whether any inspection has been carried out by building department in Dwarka? If yes the details thereof & if no the reasons thereof?
(iv) Please inform the disposal status of letter no. letter No. SKG/DDA/252 dated 20/Jul/2014 addressed to CE-Dwarka sent by post & email.
(v) We had wide letter no. No. SKG/DDA/247 dated 07/Jun/2014, inter alia, sought the information about who can order conversion of extra road space available in sec 12A & 18A to green area, in response SE(HQ) vide letter no. CE(Dwk)10(25)14/RTI-2729/DDA/5477 dated 8 Aug 2014 responded that there is sufficient green area available in this pocket. We repeat our query for a proper response.
Ground of Appeal: Now, in response to point (i), after more than 4 months a copy of letter has been endorsed by SE (HQ) PIO vide no. CE(DWK)10(25)14/RTI-2853/DDA/576 dated 29 Jan 2015 having annexures issued by Executive Engineers WD 15, 3, 13, 10, 9, 8, 6 all stating that there is no encroachment on any of the footpaths and regular inspection is happening to remove permanent/temporary encroachment & parked vehicles.
It is a matter of grave surprise how bluntely DDA can supply false & misleading information devoid of any ground reality. It seems no inspection is happening and if at all any staff is going to field it is just wandering aim lessly to kill time. As a proof, for example, I am enclosing herewith 14 photographs giving a confirmation that information supplied by PIO is totally false & deceitful. The photos have been mailed to seh...@dda.org.in, ce...@dda.org.in you may take a print. Dwarka is full of examples where footpaths are full of parked vehicles, sign boards, walls, construction material, goods, extremely high level & depressed etc.
Further, I had wide my letter no. SKG/DDA/186 dated 27 Jun 2012 requested DDA following
“On footpath at crossing of sector 4-5-11-12, the footpath at sector 5 side is almost at road level. As a result people have started parking vehicles on the footpath. In similar way the footpath in front of plot 10 sector 12 is also in same condition. You are requested to either fix kerb stone at some height or get boallards affixed there so that vehicles are not able to climb footpath.”
In respone DDA, after six months, wide letter no. CE(DWK)10(25)14/RTI-2853/DDA/399 dated 23 Jan 2013 informed that estmate is being prepared by this office for needful. But now even after more than 2 years nothing has happened, this proves that reply was just forwarded without any sense of seriousness or commitment. On these spots vehicles still continue to park on footpath. It’s a generic problem at many of the cuts to enter service lane from main carriage way road level is as high as the level of footpath.
This is another glaring example to show that there is no seriousness in DDA to look after footpaths. Only ‘paper’ replies are being sent without performing any real job. We take a strong objection to this attitude and demand penalty for supply of this information which is primarily untrue. It’s a serious question mark on the functioning of engineering department which, inter alia, owns the prime responsibility of maintaining roads & footpaths.
Appeal: If this is the condition after so called regular inspection than what is the use of it? The purpose of inspection is to keep footpath in a maintained condition & also to keep it free from any kind of obstacle so as to facilitate unhindered pedestrians’ movement. This unprofessional approach of qualified DDA engineers to handle the issue is very unfortunate. The zeal & enthusiasm to perform duty appears to be totally lacking. It is not understood why DDA engineers are shying away from this basic job?
However in order to substantialte your claim of having performed inspection regularly, please provide:
(i) Schedule of inspections held during last six months along with name of engineer, list of road inspected, copy of report and list of issues which engineers pursue while inspecting.
(ii) Full reasons/facts/file notings/ground reality which prompted PIO to furnish information which is misleading on face of it.
(iii) Pending information pertaining to point (iii), (iv) & (v) of RTI application be provided immediately.
In case no satisfactory disposal of appeal is given within 30 days a complaint with CIC shall be filed under section 18(1)(e) for supply of misleading information.
Thanks.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,
Ref: No. F.103(38)/2014/RTI/CL/2888 dated 1 Dec 2014.
Reference above letter “asking for what kind of information & which
property it relates”
I understand that you are concerned with point III of my RTI
application, which reads as under:
“In Dwarka we find that many commercial buildings have put the space
meant for parking to alternate use and are openly violating building
by laws, As a result the parking is happening on roads creating chaos.
Please inform whether any inspection has been carried out by building
department in Dwarka? If yes the details thereof & if no the reasons
thereof?”
The point raised is our RTI application is very clear &
straightforward. In Dwarka it has been found to be a rampant practice
to put the space, inside building, earmarked for parking to alternate
use. There are many such buildings which have raised construction on
parking space as a result visitor to building are not able to park the
vehicle on designated space. This leads to chaos on main road.
The point is how CLB can allow this to happen? And for what
consideration? Dwarka is already reeling under the problem of short
parking space and now commercial buildings have also started
contributing to this problem by encroaching upon the reserved parking
space. This includes shopping complexes, hospitals & schools. Once
parking space is earmarked in building map how this can be put to
alternative usage? And what action till date has been taken by CLB?
The information sought is “Has till date any inspection been carried
out by CLB in Dwarka to identify such violation of building by-laws
where parking space has been occupied by building owner for some other
usage and forcing visitor to park vehicle outside? Details of all such
inspections be provided? In case no such inspection has ever been
carried out the facts & reasons for such ignorance along with next
scheduled inspection date be informed.
PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE and provide ATR. Thanks
Yours faithfully,
(S K Goyal)
