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
