Mr. Tilak Raj Mongia, SHO,
Police Station Sector-23,
Dwarka, New Delhi.
Subject: Illegal occupancy of pavements, temporary shops and related obstruction to movements which is Against Pedestrian Rights on Dwarka Sect 22 Roads.
Dear Sir,
You may well aware of the illegal encroachment of public land (pedestrian paths) on various paths of Sector 22, Dwarka. Especially the road near Green Valley Junction(along the park) towards Nav Sansad Vihar, Plot No.4. Sect 22. There are a number of Chai wala, Pan wala, STD Booths ,Hair Dresser and others. This creates not just INSECURITY among residents especially ladies and children but also potential meeting place for anti social elements . Over and above they create unhealthy unhygienic environment near the park area, since they do not have waste disposal system and spread garbage in the area of their operation. As is well known these type of shops begin with this temporary placement and then begin to claim permanency. Since these are unlicensed vendors exploiting the vacant pavements we in Sector 22 would like it to be a non pavement hawker zone.
We therefore request you to respect the rights of the Pedestrian and ensuring safety to residents of Dwarka, by removing all illegal establishments on public areas, including pavements and temporary shops operating from inside the broken openings of boundary walls of Societies located in Sector 22 Dwarka as early as possible.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully.

Dear Members,
This is an issue which effects all the sectors of Dwarka. Even the market pavements/public area is full of these unwanted hawkers causing great security hazard for all present there. As we are well aware how badly we are prone to terror attacks. Even in case of fire there is little space left for evacuation. With little/no space for parking left the area becomes a perfect target for terror attack.
Unfortunately the nexus between these hawkers,market associations & police is all about money. There is a regular payment by these illegal encroachers to the nearby shop owners or police. When we compalin to police they merely do an eye wash & these people appear again. It is only during the red alert that these hawkers are removed. Dwarka is a zero tolerance area only on papers. DDA is responsible for removing these hawkers regularly & they should regularly check of these encroachments. When i spoke to the zonal engineer Mr Verma he showed his helpness due to lack of police support which is think is again lack of will power & attitude.
Having said that i do think that we need a proper place for sabzi mandi/market where we can buy daily perishables /merchandise at nominal prices (on the lines of INA market). This market should have adequate parking place, safety measures in case of fire & other modern amenities (toilets, lifts etc). We can pursue DDA for allocating land for this purpose & can ask to release tender for pvt public partnership to construct & manage such a market. This may act as a detterent for reri wallas & other hawkers & in case they do indulge in encroachments then they should be adequately punished. This will also help us to go to one place only instead of going to different weekly bazars on different days which are a complete nuisance in terms of road blockades, traffic snarls & ofcorse safety hazard.
Can we pursue this as a priority? also can we list down issues on priority & delegate some active members to follow up regularly so that work is divided & we can use our time effeciently. I will list down all the issues soon which i think are effecting us & then may be we can discuss them.

Have we read the initiative taken by a flower seller at Hanuman Mandir of Connaughter Place in such case. The seller has shown the path to us.

Illegal occupancy of pavements will cause a major problem. Couple of years back, near the paramount school, we had some six illegal makeshift shops cropped up on the pavements selling milk, bread to atta !! I took up this matter was many people around at that time but no one bothered as there were no markets nearby and these shops were convenient for residents and in fact many residents were happy to see them around (including a telephone booth on the pavement). I used to tell them, this may be a temporary relief, but these guys can become a complete nuisance for the peacful living in future. I told these shop walas to pack off but they didn't listen. I went to the police station and complained (without even getting a written complaint, the policemen came and packed them off). Off late, I see it is re-surfacing.
This is a menace and it has to be tackled at the beginning itself. Vasant Kunj is one classic example of this problem (today the residents there are unable to get them vacated - because the illegal occupants are a group and they develop clout over a period of time).

The story was published prominently probably on page two in TOI within a week. On this
sting carried by the Vigilence Departgment of Delhi Govt. 17 or 18 officers were arrested
by the Police for asking the extortion money from the traders.

Your favourite roadside eatery -the dhaba that offers a quick bite when you need it most-may soon have to shut if its owner does not hold a MCD licence. In a significant direction, Delhi High Court has asked the civic agency to crack the whip on all illegal eateries in the Capital and close them within a month.
Justice Shiv Narayan Dhingra said: "It is directed that all dhabas on that road and for the matter throughout Delhi running without licence must be treated equally and all dhabas which are without license being run in municipal area must be closed down forthwith. "The action of closure of these dhabas be taken within 30 days and an affidavit in this respect be filed in the court along with the names of all responsible officials of each area who are liable to take the necessary action," the order added.
The court's order came on a petition by a Rajiv Tyagi, a dhaba owner, who alleged the MCD was adopting a pick and choose policy while closing "illegal" dhabas in Mandaoli area of East Delhi. The civic agency had cracked down against only six while there were many other illegal dhabas in the area, he alleged MCD said these six served non-vegetarian food whereas the others sold only vegetarian stuff.
Rejecting the contention, Justice Dhingra said: "No distinction can be made out on the ground that one dhaba is serving vegetarian food and the other is serving non-vegetarian food. The distinction can be drawn between licensed and unlicensed ones.
"At first instance, no dhaba should be allowed to run without a licence. There is no reason why these unauthorised dhabas, hawkers, road encroachers should keep encroaching on public land endangering public health by greasing palms of the concerned officials," the court observed.
"If the officials have little care about the health of public and about the encroachment of public land, none of these dhabas, hawkers would come up at the first instance," the order added.

The situation is same every where in Dwarka or in Delhi as it is in sector 22. The order also covers the food vans operating without licences and in second violation, parked on public land, foot paths etc. Let us wait for a month, the time granted to the MCD.
After that, if reqd. will chalk out further course of action.

Mrs. Dua, u r reacting after almost one and half month. Is not it too late? Now, most
of the members are worried about spreading terrorism. No doubt, issue of encroachment has not died down but for the time being, it seems to have been put on back burner under compulsion.
