C & D Waste: In spite direction from Commissioner on 9th
Feb 2010 & 17th Mar 2011 by Addl-Comm Engineer the collection
& cleaning of C&D waste is not happening from Dwarka Sub-city.
It always remains blame game between MCD & DDA.
|
|
รผ
Decision: The DC asked the engineering department to clean what ever
C&D waste on MCD areas and handed over areas by DDA. The DC informed that
those areas and roads which are with DDA this can not be taken as it is still
with DDA. The DF argued that even the Commissioner agreed earlier on this and
a joint meeting with MCD will be held organised by DF to sort out this
matter.

waste from Dwarka resulting often burning them. Other zones have dedicated
trucks for collecting the green/dead leaves and horticulture waste.
|
|
Decision:
รผ
The Horticulture department of MCD informed they clear all the green
leaves and dead leave waste for areas/pockets handed over to MCD. However
roads on which central verge is with DDA, DDA need to clean. DF presented

The SE Project & EE assured that the Cremation ground will be
completed soon and handed over to Health Department. The creamation ground is
still with Project Team. There is no specific budge or allocation for this
cremation ground resulting temepoary budget used to meet requirements. The DF

funds for the creamation ground to make more facilities. The MCD informed no
pundits or NGO appointed by MCD to this cremation ground, who so ever
currently at the site is without permission and without authorisation..
|
|
c.
There is not a single Urinal/Toilet project in Dwarka Sub-City.
While MCD claims it is DDA who own the land or road and reason for not
executing. While MCD allow shops, carts and even allow license of Handicaps
shops etc on footpaths but not urinal and toilets on corner spots available.
We appreciate a joint meeting with DDA & MCD to sort out this issue
meanwhile MCD take lead.
|
|
รผ

and land for the same. The DF countered when the kiosks and other permission
can be given by MCD for footpaths why not portion be used for Urinials at
least in Markets and Park areas? The MCD informed NO KIOSKS given permission
by MCD including that of Sector 9 Metro station etc.
|
|
4.
Building Department of MCD:
|
|
a.
The Dwarka Sector 7 Ramphal Chowk comes under MCD Building
which approves the plan , completion certificate etc. The major problem is
compliance to MPD2021. There is not a single parking found in any of the
building. The basement are used as showrooms.

Health Trade issues:
|
|
a.
The DHO have provided the list of restaurants' with license and take
away. Which duly shared with RWA & Citizen. However a large number of
Takeaway actually operate from ground floor shops as full fledged restaurants
which not only inconvenience but also serious SECURITY Hazard.
|
|
รผ
Decision: The DC asked the Health Trade staff the status. The staff
informed time to time raids conducted. However no concrete results. The DF
suggested those who violates more than one be withdrawn their license and
seal the shops. Those who are without health trade and operate, be
immediately be sealed. The DC directed the staff to conduct immediate raids
and seal those and those to be withdrawn license for violation if any without
any failure. DC and DF desire the
safety of the citizen is paramount and illegal operation must be stopped in
the markets of Sector 4/5/6/10/11/12/7/21/22/23.
|
|
b.
The DF have been objecting to giving any license to Chef Carts/Chinese
vans etc. We appreciate MCD will keep this status quo and not allow common
public land to be used for any kind of health trade.
|
|
Decision: The
MCD informed that the matter is in the court as DF aware. The MCD have no intention
to give license till the NOC form Traffic and DDA not received. The staffs
are not update on the stand taken by MCD, so the DHO/MHO will update the same

Mr. Meena,
representative of Private Contractor informed that they have put 405 dustbins
and have replaced 45 bins which were broken and the remaining broken bins would
be replaced by 30th November. He also
informed that they have 7 trucks to carry the garbage to the disposal sites. On
demand of the Forum, Dy. Commissioner told the contractor to increase the
number of bins as per actual requirement and replace the wrecked bins. He warned that if this work is not completed
within the deadline, MCD will take stringent action including penalty on the
contractor. He ordered his staff to
visit Dwarka every week and if negligence is found, proposal for the penalty
should be put up to him. He said that
Dwarka is a ‘zero’ tolerance zone and zero tolerance means zero tolerance. He ordered to Asstt. Commission for giving a
report about the working of DSDLSW on every third day. Mr. Rejimon, President, DF suggested that
bins should have serial numbers and DIMS representative, Mr. Meena told that he
will be able to commit any thing on this after discussing it with his
office. Dy. Commissioner ordered that
the garbage from the bins should be lifted daily and to clean the 25-metre area
around the bins and asked his staff to report on this on alternative days. Rejimon raised the issue of cleaning within
the boundary wall, (Pl. elaborate this aspect) to which DC told that he will
take up this issue in the meeting which will be held in Dwarka itself. Anoop Rohera raised the issue of cover on the
bins and the disinfection of bins on regular basis and said that all bins
should have covers.
It was also
informed that the total number of Safai Karamcharis are 361 but all are not
working and though their duty is for 8 hours, they work for much lesser hours.
DC ordered his Sun Inspectors and ASIs to take strict action against such
workers. DC also told that 5200 more
karamcharis would be allotted soon for all the zones in Delhi.
DF raised the issue of shelter for the Karamcharis and DC ordered the
staff to send requisition after finding the suitable locations and sought the
co-operation of DF also in finding the locations.
DC made it clear
that the all roads are to be swept by the MCD whether they are with the DDA or
PWD or with some other authority.
However, MCD is responsible to remove Malba (construction waster) from
its own roads only and not from the roads belonging to the DDA or MCD.
He also said
that all the roads above 60-metre will be swept mechanically. He said that burning of green leaves and
shrubs is not allowed and the Horticulture Department of DDA should lift these
material which can be used in converting this into fertilizer. He also said that the Market Associations are
undertaking the sweeping of the markets like markets at 5, 10, 4,5,11 and 12
sectors. DC told that entire area
including market and pedestrian foot paths are to be swept by the MCD.
(Contradiction - please correct the position).
DC told that the
handing and taking over of the cremation ground at sector 24 is pending and it
will be done after the work of the ground is over. He ordered to send the requisition about the
pending electric work by next week. Mr. Garg,
DC also agreed to share the list
of DDA pockets which have been transferred to the MCD. He informed that the drawings are under
preparation for the five community centres in sector 22,23, 12 and two sectors
in sector 17 and hoped that in the next two months, tenders will be floated for
their construction.
About the
problem of urinals in markets, he sought the co-operation of the DF also in
identification of spots for them so that MCD can construct them. There was some
ambiguity about the allotment of KIOSKS in Dwarka, while DC said that they are
allotted by the DDA, Rejimon cited a case of sector 9 and said that this has
been allotted by the MCD. DC told his
staff to give me clear picture on this issue. He also sought help from the DF
for the parking space at Ramphal Chowk so that a proposal may be forwarded to
the head office.
DF raised the
issue of traffic jams on Dwarka
Link Road due to the parking in front of farm
houses. DC ordered that Farm Houses
should not be unauthorisedly used for commercial purpose and they should provide
parking space inside the farm house and directed the staff to take stern action
on this.
On health
related issues, on the complaint of encroachment of common areas by the
restaurants, DC told that the restaurants working unauthorizedely should be
sealed and he will check after a week.
He informed that the permission for the Chinese food vans is granted by
zonal level after getting NOC from the Traffic Deptt and for this purpose, the
licence from DCP Traffic is a must.
Health Deptt. informed that the fogging is on and it takes a month time
