Copy
to all the residents of Ward-17 Janak Puri
New
Delhi, June 26, 2003
Dear
Valued Resident,
As
you are very well aware, ever since I was elected MCD
Councillor from Ward-17 i.e. Janak Puri and subsequently,
was appointed as the youngest Chairman of the Wards
Committee (West) for the year 2002-2003, I have tried
my utmost to discharge my duties to the best of my ability
and capabilities. Whether I have been successful in
my this endeavor or not, it is for the people to judge.
But I will always strive to prove my worth by dint of
hard, sincere, efficient and selfless service to the
residents of my ward.
My
bonding with Janak Puri is more emotional than professional.
Because ever since I have emerged victorious from here,
the love and affection which I have received from the
residents of Janak Puri is un-paralleled.
It
gives me great pride in announcing that out of a total
of 134 Municipal Councillors in Delhi, I am the only
Councillor who has spent more than Rs.5,40,82,121/-
from MCD funds for the development of Janak Puri as
well as Uttam Nagar, that too in such a short span of
15 months.
Before
I was elected as Councillor from Janak Puri, I had certain
dreams for Janak Puri, and which are not directly linked
with MCD. But again, I can proudly say that my this
vision for Janak Puri is taking shape in the form of
a DELHI HAAT, A COMMUNITY WEDDING MART, COFFEE HOME
& OLD AGE TRANSIT HOME, for which, DDA has principally
agreed on allotting lands for these dreams to take concrete
shape. (press Clippings enclosed _ Annexure I)
Also,
the steps initiated by me for Improvement of Electricity
Distribution system in Janak Puri is known to one and
all. I do not wish to elaborate on them.
Apart
from above, I organized two House Tax Collection
Camps for the benefit of the residents of Janak
Puri as well as organized a Servant/Tenant Verification
Camp which too was appreciated by everyone. Moreover,
an Interactive Session each was organized by
me with Shri Ajay Maken _ Hon'ble Minister for Power,
Transport & Tourism; a similar Interactive
Session was organized with Shri Shadi Ram _ Vice Chairman
DJB & Shri L.N. Kapoor _ Chief Engineer DJB,
an Interactive Session with DCP West & DC MCD
West Zone, an Interactive Session was also organized
with Chairman of The Standing Committee of MCD as well
as Secretary _ High Power Technical Committee on Unit
Area Method Of House Tax Collection in which elaborate
information about Unit Area Method of House Tax Collection
was given. A large number of representatives of various
RWA's of Ward-17 as well as Ward-18 attended these sessions
and appreciated my these initiatives, which were taken
for the very first time.
As
you are also aware, a large number of Senior Citizens
reside in my constituency, who are retired and who have
already made a valuable contribution towards our society.
I feel that the simplest way in which they spend their
free time is by visiting Parks in their vicinity. It
is my earnest belief that TO SERVE THE ELDERS IS EQUIVALENT
TO SERVING GOD. I have made a small but significant
effort to give practical shape to this thought of mine
by spending Rs. One Crore (RUPEES TEN MILLION) which
includes the annual budget of Rs.65 Lacs under the Councillor
Head on the development of Parks of Ward-17. This
too makes me the only Councillor in Delhi to spend this
much amount on the development & beautification
of parks, the matter persued by you and your team on
regular basis through regular meetings and representations
forwarded by you . (Please find enclosed a list
of developmental works to be carried on shortly in various
parks of your Block _ Annexure II.)
This
does not mean that I am totally devoting my funds and
energy towards the development and beautification of
Parks. I am equally devoting my time, energy and funds
on the development works of Janak Puri and Uttam Nagar
whether it is the construction of Drains, Improvement
of Lanes, Dense Carpeting of Roads etc. To prove my
this point, I have been successful in getting
a Fund of Rs.2,95,000,00/- sanctioned in the first phase
for the year 2003-04 from MCD for these developmental
works. (Sanction Letter/Budget Slip enclosed _ Annexure
III)
There
are three un-authorised colonies in Uttam Nagar area
of my Ward-17 namely Jeewn Park, Mahendra Park and Chanakya
Place. The developmental work of these colonies is undertaken
by DSIDC. After my meetings/correspondence with Hon'ble
C.M. and Hon'ble Urban Development Minister _ Govt.
Of NCT Of Delhi, a sum of Rs.1,40,000,00/- was sanctioned
for the development of these colonies (Correspondence
/ Meeting Notice / ATR with Hon'ble C.M./UD Minister
enclosed _ Annexure IV). I have also been successful
in getting an amount of Rs.19 Lacs for Dense Carpeting
of the road adjoining Pankha Road Drain starting
from JJ Colony Pankha Road and going till Sagarpur.
In addition to this, I have also successfully obtained
an amount of Rs. 38 Lacs for construction of two
bridges on this drain linking E, F & C blocks of
Jeewan Park. This work has been possible due to
the support and co-operation of Shri Haroon Yusuf _
Hon'ble Minister of Food & Civil Supplies, Rural
Development and Flood Control and who also happens to
be my friend from the days of my Student Politics. But
when these works were on the verge of taking shape,
SOMEONE ELSE TRIED TO TAKE CREDIT AND UNDUE POLITICAL
MILEAGE FOR THE SAME. (Correspondence/ Meeting Notice
with Hon'ble Minister for above mentioned works are
enclosed _ Annexure V)
But
it is most unfortunate and regrettable that the above
mentioned achievements of mine are giving SOME PERSONS
SLEEPLESS NIGHTS and they are unable to digest this
bitter truth that MY ACHIEVEMENTS & ACTIONS ARE
DOING THE TALKING, rather than myself speaking on them.
These same vested interests have stooped to the lowest
level, which shows their Frustration as well as Desperation,
the recent example of which is _ That as a result of
my continuous efforts, Five LA Road Schemes were prepared
and approved by the High Power Technical Committee of
MCD under which, the Dense Carpeting was to be done
on 40' as well as 60' Roads in A-1, A-2, A-3, C-1 and
C-2 Blocks of Janak Puri. Similarly, Storm Water Drains,
Side Brums, Footpath, Road Sign Boards etc. were also
to be constructed under these Five Schemes in these
blocks. The cost of these 5 schemes was Rs.12 Crores.
After these kinds of schemes are approved by the High
Power Technical Committee of MCD, they are sent to Hon'ble
Lt. Governor's Office for Administrative Approval. The
similar 218 schemes for overall Delhi for the year 2002-2003
were approved by the Hon'ble L.G. For these 5 schemes
of Ward-17, the funds were also available with the Delhi
Govt.and these Schemes were strongly recommended
by Hon'ble C.M. of Delhi, Hon'ble Mayor of Delhi as
well as the Chairman of the Standing Committee of MCD
to Hon'ble L.G. But
unfortunately,
these schemes for Ward-17 were unable to get the necessary
Administrative Approval from L.G."s Office. I do
not wish to jump the gun but it is for the people to Judge
that why these schemes could not get the final approval
from L.G.'s Secretariat?
(Press
Clippings enclosed _ Annexure VI)
I
am well aware that the water problem is going on in
Janak Puri for a long time. But this problem is being
faced by the residents of Whole Delhi and not by Janak
Puri residents alone. Although, DJB does not come under
the preview of MCD, I have been taking up this matter
with DJB untiringly for the last one year and it gives
me pleasure to state that there has been some improvement
in the Water Situation in Janak Puri. As a result of
this initiative taken by me, many water pipelines in
various blocks were changed, some remedial actions are
in the pipeline and in many blocks, where there are
Underground Water Reservoirs, I am getting the water
supplied to these reservoirs through Water Tankers of
DJB. In various blocks, where no such reservoirs are
there, the water is being supplied through water tankers
on regular basis. But I am aware of the problem faced
by DJB Officials as there is a greater demand for water
in whole Delhi but supply is far less. The Govt. of
NCT of Delhi is also making continuous efforts on priority
basis to get more water for the residents of Delhi.
I
am enclosing the photocopies of my correspondence with
Hon'ble C.M., Hon'ble L.G., Vice Chairman and CEO _
DJB in this regard, for your information _ Annexure
VII.
Apart
from the above mentioned developmental works, I have
also been actively involved in various Social Events
and the example of which is the SAUBHAGYAWATI MELA _
which was the first of its kind to be organized not
only in Delhi, but in JanakPuri too, for Womenfolk on
the eve of Karva Chauth. This shows my token of regard
and respect for the womenfolk in my constituency.
There
is a large number of youngsters residing in my constituency
who are like my brothers and sisters. These youngsters
are least bothered about the politics and developmental
works but they enjoy life to the hilt and are career
oriented. For this segment of younger generation too,
two Pop Shows were organized by me in Janak Puri in
which, Punjabi Pop Superstars such as MIKA and ASHOK
MASTI enthralled them with their performances.
Apart
from providing them with entertainment, I made an attempt
to link these youngsters, who have attained the age
of voting, in the process of Nation Building by sending
them a letter containing information in the form of
a Prescribed Form alongwith a List, where these youngsters
could get themselves enrolled in this procedure.
I
also conveyed my best wishes to all those youngsters
who have successfully completed their Senior Schooling
by virtue of a congratulatory Letter.
I
earnestly believe that The Physically Challenged People
are also a part of the main stream society and it is
the moral responsibility of all the elected representatives
to create such an atmosphere in the society so that
these people can get their due share of respect and
a sense of belonging which will boost their confidence.
I prepared an action plan for all such physically challenged
people and I feel proud to say that on my recommendations,
Dept. Of Tourism, Dept. Of Social Welfare, Dept. Of
Transport, Govt. Of NCT Of Delhi, DDA, MCD and DMRC
accepted my suggestions and these suggestions are in
the process of implementation.
In
my ward 17 , in Possangipur village an NGO by the name
of PRERNA NIKETAN SANGH was undertaking the noble cause
of rehabilitating Physically Challenged Street Children.
This NGO was provided with a temporary shelter in a
Mandir, which they were asked to vacate at a very short
notice and these children were on the verge of coming
on the street. With my efforts, a shelter was alooted
to them at Basti Vikas Kendra cum Community Center,
E Block, Phase III, Sector III, Dwarka, Pappankalan,
New Delhi. This has been a record of sorts as it
is for the first time in the history of MCD that an
accommodation has been allotted to an NGO within a short
span of Three Months. I treat this achievement of
mine as the biggest SPIRITUAL ACHIEVEMENT and my pleasure
goes beyond words that the Almighty has made me the
medium to perform this noble deed. (Photocopy of Appreciation
Letter from President _ PRERNA NIKETAN SANGH is enclosed
_ Annexure VIII)
Under
my stewardship as Chairman _ MCD West Zone, west zone
became the first and only zone in Delhi where Terminal
Benefits are paid to the retiring teachers of MCD Primary
Schools on the same day of their Retirement (Press Clippings
enclosed _ Annexure IX).
It
is the result of my continous efforts and persuations
with the Hon'ble C.M. and Hon'ble Health Minister of
Govt. of NCT Of Delhi that the work of a 300 bedded
SUPER SPECIALITY HOSPITAL (With Dept. of Oncology) in
C-2B Block Janak Puri, which was held up for the last
5 years, has started. The Foundation Laying ceremony
of this Hospital took place on 23rd April 2003 (Copies
of my correspondence to get this project started is
enclosed - Annexure X).
To
honor the feelings and desires of the residents of my
constituency, two Parks in Janak Puri were named as
SHRI RAM VATIKA and SHRI LAXMAN VATIKA respectively
and a Road in Uttam Nagar has been named as GURUDWARA
KALGI DHAR SINGH SABHA ROAD. There are few other parks
in Ward-17 whose names has been finalized as SHRI KRISHAN
VATIKA, MAHARISHI DAYANAND VATIKA, SHRI RADHA KRISHAN
VATIKA, KAILASH VATIKA, BAJRANG BALI PARK, JHULELAL
VATIKA etc. and they are in the final stages of process.
But
here I wish to place on record that this is not the
end of developmental works for my constituency. Rather,
this is just the beginning and your blessings and best
wishes will keep on giving me more zeal, strength, stamina
and inspiration to do better and better with each passing
day.
Whatever
I have penned down above is HARD CORE TRUTH AND NOTHING
ELSE and it is open to be cross checked for its authencity
at any point of time.
Here,
I also wish to categorically reiterate that POLITICS
IS NOT MY PROFESSION BUT IT GIVES ME UTMOST SATISFACTION
TO SERVE THE PEOPLE AND SOCIETY.
Yours
sincerely,
Sanjay
Puri
