Letter to the President DCWA

​To,

The President 

DCWA

The Gumbad,

Defence Colony

New Delhi 110024

Dear Mr. President,

Sub: Utter neglect of the colony, market and its environs​

Kindly find herewith a few photos of the amphitheater park next to Mother Dairy, within the market (the Association of which you are President) and 30 meters away from the Gumbad, the office of Defence Colony Welfare Association (DCWA) off which too, you are President. As such you have the good fortune of being President of both organisations; you Sir, thus hold a very exalted position in Defence Colony. 

There are some issues that are crying for your attention; and are located right in your backyard, so to speak; the attached photos display the utter and complete neglect of maintenance of public utilities and common spaces in the Market. Areas abutting and contiguous to the Defence Colony Market are the show windows of our colony; to the colony residents and visitors, it should be an example of upkeep and maintenance. On the contrary, it has become a cesspool of muck, green areas neglected, abandoned cars, generators on pubic land, drug addicts, sleeping guards and angry disrespectful parking attendants.

You Sir, are in the fortuitous situation as the 'Authority' to command the vast resources at your disposal 4 fold: (1) The resources of the Market as an Association, (2) The resources of the DCWA as the Colony Association (3) The Executive Committee body of the DCWA, (4) The many volunteers of the colony waiting to be harnessed, willing to step forward to assist in upkeep efforts and (4) The Civic Agencies.

Since the hygiene standards of our colony have been deteriorating, and continues to decline sharply, I request you as the President with all executive powers of Defence Colony, delegated to you by a democratic election, to deploy the resources elucidated above to: undertake the following: (respectfully requested)

1. Clean up the muck in the Market & Colony,

2. Clear Gumbad area and Moolchand Complex of unauthorized parking by trucks, commercial vehicles, non resident parking.

As residents, we look forward to a time bound schedule emerging from your Presidential Offices (DCWA & Market) by which date you can get the above issues resolved.

Yours sincerely,

Rajeev Suri

Request to Delhi Police (Traffic) for action against parking Mafia

​Dear Sir,

Sub: Re Illegal parking in Defence Colony; Mafia controlling public land.​

A few days ago I wrote to you regarding the menace of illegal parking in Defence Colony. The email is shown below, for which unfortunately, you have failed to take any action:

DCP Traffic

Sir,

Re: Parking Mafia and parking in service lanes

I bring to your attention the growing trend of vehicles (Tempo Traveler's, Inova's taxis, private cars of offices, such as ICICI wealth in D 58 ) being parked in the service lanes of Defence Colony, which are essentially meant for service vehicles, Fire Brigades, Sewage Cleaning vehicles, SDMC services, and other utility services. By parking vehicles in these service lanes, the colony is being deprived an essential route for emergencies and civic services.These vehicles are mostly non resident vehicles, being parked in this colony due to a lax vigilance on the part of the implementing agencies, the Welfare Association and residents. By way of this mail I'd request all groups in coordination with each other implement a strict policy of "No Parking" in the Service Lanes of Defence Colony.

By this email, I specifically request the following authorities for their active intervention:

1. Delhi Police, with DCP Traffic (South) as the competent authority with ACP Defence Colony acting as Nodal Officer. ( Please consider clamping / tow away of such vehicles). Our earlier email re commercial parking at the 'Gumbad' has met with a feeble response, and a drive to clear the areas is essential.

2. President Defence Colony Welfare Association (DCWA) to ensure no vehicles, park in back lanes, and no trucks, commercial vehicles and non resident vehicles park in the 'Gumbad' of  Defence Colony.

3. Secretary, Defence Colony Welfare Association (DCWA) to ensure implementation of the above.

Further,I request Dy Commissioner SDMC Central, to use all resources at their disposal to prevent such activity, to revisit parking contracts granted by their RP Cell parking contractors, to book them / cancel contracts for a blatant misuse of their limited jurisdiction, having now become a Parking Mafia terrorizing residents.

Yours faithfully,

​I now attach photos of trucks, commercial vehicles non resident cars parked in areas essentially meant for residents to park their cars whilst visiting market places. However his has been taken over by the parking mafia.

We the residents of Defence Colony now raise a charter of demands on yourselves, as representatives of the Law and Order forces of this city:

1. Remove unauthorized parking from our colony

2. Prevent vehicles from parking in back lanes

3.Stop trespass of vehicles through the colony to avoid traffic signals.

Please inform us a time bound schedule of implementation of the above three point charter.

Yours Faithfully
