​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:

To,

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,

Rajeev Suri

​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
