Re: [IAC#RG] PUBLIC GRIEVANCE: DMRC - 00001

There have been several PILs on this all the way up to Supreme Court.
http://delhihighcourt.nic.in/dhcqrydisp_o.asp?pn=184573&yr=2011

All of them lost :-) DMRC has very good PR and network.
So those kinds of arguments won't work.
So I am taking a different approach.

Hi Sarbajit - good cause, let us follow it up?

The case we can make is this:-

1) Delhi Metro is a "Public Authority" not deniable.
2) The right to fresh air and sweet/drinking water as per below is enshrined and ipso facto becomes incumbent on all public authorities to ensure provision of same (read both together, not separately)
3)Therefore ALL public authorities are bound by the Constitution to provide fresh air and sweet water.

Now, is this free or is this at a price?

Is fresh air priced? No, it is free.

Therefore, sweet potable drinking water also has to be free.

With a little tweaking, this can become an electoral issue.

I will also search the Railway Act for this?

Best/Veeresh


Here's some ammo:-



India                        

The Supreme Court has ruled that both water and sanitation are part of the constitutional right to life (Article 21). The Court has stated that  'the right to access to clean drinking water is fundamental to life and there is a duty on the state under Article 21to provide clean drinking water to its citizens' A.P. Pollution Control Board II v Prof. M.V. Naidu and Others (Civil Appeal Nos. 368-373 of 1999).

PUBLIC GRIEVANCE:

On behalf of the citizens I am constrained to complain as follows:-

1) That there is apparently no provision to provide free drinking
water to citizens at well marked and easily accessible locations in
the controlled ares of DMRC network/stations.

2) I am constrained to say this on the complaint of  some police
officers to me at Rajiv Chowk Metro station who were discussing the
situation whereby they are denied drinking water facility and have no
place to even sit / conduct interrogations because DMRC has let out
the area marked for  their Police Post in Rajiv Chowk Metro Station to
a well known coffee chain where water is sold at about Rs. 45 per 1
litre bottle.

3) For example, I am given to understand that the juvenile
offender/accused pickpocket "Pappu Kumar" age about 10 years
apprehended at about 8:00 PM at Rajiv Chowk was without drinking water
till about 11:45 PM after he was booked at Raja Garden Metro Police
Station, because there is no free drinking water available in the
controlled areas of DMRC for the Police to provide to him. This is
surely a human rights violation of citizens, seeing as how the
interrogation of the offender was conducted in the main control room
of Rajiv Gandhi Metro Station (where there is no drinking water either
to provide the offender/accused or the police).

4) Being greatly surprised at the information from the Delhi Police, I
conducted my brief initial enquiry and could confirm the same.

Kindly look into the matter, as I am given to understand that the
control/supervision of  design and operation of DMRC stations also
falls under your mandate.

Kindly acknowledge this email by return indicating a time-line to
resolution by your office.

[IAC#RG] Fw: Awaken and Arise 750 Million EWS to Start Questioning Bad Governnance

Dear Honorable IAC Members,

We need to get our 750 million EWS to start thinking that unless they too become an integral part of the development as the middle class started doing it in 70s, 80s, 90s and are still doing, when they actively participated in the global software and later the telecom revolution in the world and brought up the nation to this state and themselves became a strong 450 million plus, their own future is no less than the slaves of yesteryears of US.

Now is the turn of the 750 million EWS also to join this 450 million people and start bringing up the domestic economy by coming out on the streets, roads, villages, towns, and cities to demand jobs and do jobs, earn their bread and despise any subsidies, yes even food subsidies. Go back in the evening and light up their chulhas with their daily earning. They need to be educated that no one can make them beggars by putting subsidies, yes even food subsidies, as alms in their katoras and in return buy their votes only to be deraded as the slaves or street beggars who are given blankets, food, rice, kerosene, mobiles, laptops, TVs etc by the politicians and shamelessly televised also for the whole world to see how Indian politicians are making these 750 million EWS crippled and slaves.  

Most of us feel that this is the only way and the need is to bring up these EWS through jobs and work and let them cross over to the orbit of 450 million middle class to make it bigger and bigger and thus count their votes and not sell their votes.

IAC can play the most crucial role in this.

Mr Sarbajit can share his views as also of the managing committee of the IAC as to what do they think of this and how do they intend taking this ahead.

Jai Hind.
 
With warm regards,

Col Mahesh Khera

Dear Friends,

All of us want India to become No 1 in the world and claim its rightful place. Our 400 million middle class though very good but is very rightly too busy in its own progress and comes together only when  catastrophic incidents take place or any well meaning movement starts. After some time, their protests peter out and opportunistic government heaves a sigh of relief.

750 million EWS are never truly part of the protest against unjust policies. They are not informed and hence are not awakened because the people who should be keeping them informed i.e., panchayats, corporators, MLAs, MPs etc inform them only those things which ensure their votes for them. Media also largely is seldom neutral. Under these situations, how to awaken and arise 750 million EWS to add the real people power to 400 million middle class so that the protests against governance which is at the lowest ebb today  is effective and having a bombshell impact on the government to just accede to the collective will of the people. Of course leaders will still play the most crucial role.

We all know that India's telecom story of having 900 million mobiles is a lie. We have 900 million SIM cards in service. The ratio of SIMs per person in India is 2.1 as against the world average of 1.29 or so. It means India has around 450 million people who actually use mobile phone for voice, SMS, e-mail and Internet put together. 750 million people in India do not have phones. Even if we take out 185 million young children who may not need phone today because they are small, we still have 565 million people without any phone. These 565 million people, nearly half of India do not have ready access to vernacular voice, SMS, e-mail and Internet. These people are never awakened with truth.

We need to equip these 750 million people with phone for voice @ 50/- per month and Internet @ 30/- per month, both are highly possible if the government really wants it. It requires true policy, regulatory and technology decisions from that government who is real well wisher and social developer of the people and not the governments who want 100,000 Cr Food Security Bill to make these 750 million even more crippled from awakening and arising. 

Imagine with the combined power of 1.2 billion people, no government can afford to relax for five years and enjoy the fruits without acceding to the genuine people power for quickly protesting the bad governance. Vernacular voice, SMS and e-mails are most powerful today and go beyond the power of the state or the king.

If we all agree, IAC should also include this as the first item in its manifesto. A glimpse of it, we saw when IAC rapped the TRAI for its slip shod OHD on media holding.

Jai Hind.

Col Mahesh Khera

PUBLIC GRIEVANCE:

2) I am constrained to say this on the complaint of some police

situation whereby they are denied drinking water facility and have no
place to even sit / conduct interrogations because DMRC has let out
the area marked for their Police Post in Rajiv Chowk Metro Station to
a well known coffee chain where water is sold at about Rs. 45 per 1
litre bottle.

3) For example, I am given to understand that the juvenile
offender/accused pickpocket "Pappu Kumar" age about 10 years
apprehended at about 8:00 PM at Rajiv Chowk was without drinking water
till about 11:45 PM after he was booked at Raja Garden Metro Police
Station, because there is no free drinking water available in the

surely a human rights violation of citizens, seeing as how the
