DETERIORATING LIVING STANDARD

Sir
Sub: Deteriorating standard of living in the capital city.
Through the columns of your reputed magazine, I wish to express my views on the deteriorating standard of living in the capital city of Delhi.
What does the standard of living actually mean? Does it mean possessing expensive goods of comfort and beauty, living in posh bungalows or, the overall decent and
peaceful living conditions including health and hygiene, pollution-free environment, and above all, a value-based society.
Considering all these, the living conditions in Delhi are really appalling. Dumps of garbage, heavy traffic congestion on the roads, growing atmospheric pollution, high levels of noise pollution, overcrowding at public places, etc., throw ample light on the deterioration in the people’s standard of living. Our lungs are hungry for fresh air and green belts.
The large number of immigrants, from other states to Delhi, put tremendous pressure on the resources of the city. The housing problem is growing rapidly with lack of civic amenities. The life is so busy that there is little interaction among neighbours. Hurry and worry is what best describes the life in the capital city. With growing consumerism and rising prices, the disparity between rich and poor is increasing day by day. Something judicious needs to be done to remedy this situation. More green belts and ‘silence zones’ should be created. The unrestricted inflow of people to Delhi should also be checked. Only then the standard of living can be improved.
Yours truly

Sir
Sub: Water crisis in Kavi Nagar
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities towards the problem of water scarcity in our locality.
It is still early summer and the residents are already facing acute water shortage in the area. The supply is cut off at 8.30 a.m. in the morning and is restored only for half an hour in the evening between 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Since the timings are erratic, many people, especially, the working couples are unable to store water. Frequent complaints to the Jal Board haven’t yielded any result as the authorities express their helplessness saying that one of the tanks of the Hyderpur Water Treatment Plant is under repair and has been shut down for a month or so thereby affecting the water supply in the area. But it is nearly one and a half months since the problem began, yet there is no respite to the residents.
The Jal Board should, in the meantime, make provisions for water tankers at different horns of the day. Also, measures must be taken to expedite the repair work.
Yours truly

Question 3:

Sir
Sub: Terror caused by illicit liquor and anthrax
The recent deaths due to the consumption of illicit liquor and the fear generated in the minds of people on account of anthrax is a matter of great concern.
We often hear or read about people dying due to the consumption of illicit liquor, but never come to know about the follow up action or the punishment given to the guilty. What a tragedy! Families get ruined, children orphaned but the illegal trade continues unabated. Why is our government so apathetic towards this social curse or maybe, keeps the eyes closed deliberately because the custodians of law have their palms greased through these means only.
However, we, the awakened citizens, must raise our voice against this evil. We must try to educate not only the children but adults also. Responsibility can also be given to the Gram Panchayats and the best village or Panchayat should be awarded if they Eire able to eradicate this menace from their villages.
Another problem, I need to address is the problem of global terrorism. The people have yet to recover from the trauma of the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers when they are confronted with a still more dangerous and threatening problem—the problem of bio terrorism. Prominent personalities in different countries are being targeted through the
deadly bio-chemical like anthrax sent in letters. Is man degenerated to such an extent that he can kill another human being using such means? The US government has taken strong steps to check this deadly act. However, if the guilt is proved on anybody, the person(s) must be given exemplary punishment to eliminate this heinous crime completely. I am sure that the contents shared here express the views of many. In the hope that sanity may prevail among people some day.
Yours truly,
Hemant

Sir
Sub: Widespread fear of terrorism
Through this letter of mine, I wish to express my concern over the widespread fear caused in the minds of people because of growing terrorist activities all over the world.
Terrorism as a method to achieve political aims has become a worldwide phenomenon. However, the shameful and hideous terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in the USA has given terrorism a new dimension. The daring assault on the dignity and prestige of one of the largest democracies of the world has shattered the faith of people completely. What is worse, it has left religious fanaticism behind as its offspring. The widespread communal riots as a fallout of these terrorist activities in India has instilled a great fear in the minds of common people. As it is, in the cross fire of political game, it is always the common man who suffers the most.
Stringent methods must be taken to restore peace and harmony in the country. One must keep the interests of the nation above the interests of the community or the individual. Sanity must prevail at all costs.
Yours truly

Sub: Nuisance created by the stray animals
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities of the Municipal Corporation regarding the plight of the residents of Bow Bazaar. While going to school at 8.50 a.m, I notice many stray animals wandering here and there on the busy market roads. The position is almost the same a repeat performance in the afternoon. Sometimes these animals cross the roads in a long unending array, thus causing traffic blocks as well as accidents. These animals create a health hazard too by urinating everywhere. Huge heaps of dung are lying here and there. Flies hover over them and insects breed inside them.
We have already written to the concerned authorities but no action has been taken so far. The authorities are requested to depute officials to catch these stray animals and send them to the police pen. If unclaimed, these might be auctioned. It is hoped that an early action will be taken by the concerned authorities.

Sub: Problems of Saraswati Vihar
I want to highlight the problems of Saraswati Vihar—a Housing Cooperative Society to which I have shifted recently. I request you to give them wide publicity to attract the attention of the officers concerned.
- The colony has electric poles but there is no provision for street light. There is complete darkness when there is a breakdown in domestic power supply.
- The roads have uncovered manholes over the sewerage lines. These have caused a couple of accidents. An eight year child was saved from death only yesterday.
- The garbage disposal system is very poor. Perhaps the municipal authorities do not take cognizance of the existence of this Housing Society at all. It is only once in a blue moon that a truck visits the area to collect household refuse. May I hope that the authorities will pay attention to the genuine difficulties of the residents and take effective remedial action?
I do hope you will champion our cause.

Sub: Traffic congestion on Rajaji Road
Through the columns of your newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities to the appalling condition of the road leading upto Bharat School. The entire stretch is narrow, congested and covered with numerous pot holes. This often causes a traffic jam and inconvenience to students and staff of the school. A lot of time is wasted both in the morning and afternoon when the school buses have to leave.
The school has filed several complaints to the local authorities but they seem to have fallen on deaf ears. The situation worsens during the monsoon. It can also become dangerous threat to pedestrians. On behalf of the school students, I request the authorities to take immediate action to rectify this condition.
The improvement in the condition of the road will ease traffic congestion and ensure the safety of the citizens.

Through the columns of your newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the concerned transport authorities regarding the plight of Mayur Vihar residents. As you are aware Mayur Vihar is a large colony on the outskirts of Delhi. The residents of Ankur Apartments are facing the brunt of isolation as there is no bus stop within a radius of 2 km. Since the bus connection is unavailable, other modes of transport like the autos and taxis also do not have a stand nearby. It becomes extremely difficult to commute from the place except in one’s own vehicle.
It is proposed that the bus service should be provided at the earliest so that the inconvenience being caused to residents presently is permanently removed.
Looking forward to an early action by the concerned authorities.

As you are aware, Mayur Vihar is a large colony on the outskirts of Delhi. The residents of Adarsha and Ankur Apartments in Phase I are facing the brunt of isolation as there is no bus stop within a radius of 2 kms. Since bus connection is not available, other modes of transport such as autorickshaws and taxis also do not have a stand nearby. Under these circumstances it becomes extremely difficult to commute from the place except in one’s own vehicle. It is therefore suggested that the city bus service should be extended to this colony so that the inconvenience being caused to the residents now is removed for ever.
Looking forward to an early action by the authorities concerned.

Sub: Plight of press apartments
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to bring to your kind notice as well as that of the authorities concerned to the plight of the residents of Press Apartments.
The colony has three open manholes which have been a source of fear and anxiety to the residents. In fact two little children—aged seven and nine belonging to the nearby slums—have already lost their lives. Moreover since these open manholes lie on the main road leading to the colony, it becomes difficult for the commuters to use the road after darkness prevails, especially in winters. Women and children are the worst affected. They do not venture to move out as soon as it gets dark.
It is earnestly hoped that the authorities competent to redress our grievances will pay attention to our plight and get the manholes covered and also provide street lights to this neglected colony.
Yours truly

Sub: Capitation fee—a curse
I wish to draw your kind attention to the increasing menace of capitation fee which has become prevalent in schools at the time of admission. Although nobody seems to be in favour of this practice it is going on unchecked.
To me it seems nothing short of corruption to seek funds in the name of buildings, facilities etc. Isn’t it a shame that in a country where education was once free, it is now being sold and that too at a price. This unfair pressure on parents is taking a toll and it is high time a legislation is drawn up against this malpractice. Awareness against this extraction of money in the name of donation or building fund should be created. All sections of society including parents, teachers, students and educationists should come up in arms against this system and force the educational institutions to discontinue this evil practice forthwith. Providing quality education is one thing and the misuse of funds under the garb of capitation fee is quite another.
I urge the government to take stringent action against these dealers of education and lay down as well as enforce strict laws to curb this menace.
Yours truly

Sub: Commercialisation of education
I wish to draw the attention of the public in general and authorities in particular to the crass commercialisation prevalent in the good schools renowned for providing quality education.
My son goes to a prestigious public school which admits students after conducting so many tests and charging a hefty amount as various funds. To a casual onlooker the system appears restrictive and selective, but the overcrowded classrooms with 60 to 70 students in the primary section tell a different story. Almost every section of every class is in a similar situation. Even though the school works in two shifts there doesn’t seem to be any respite from the ever increasing size of the class.
The overcrowding of classrooms adversely affects the academic standards. It is very difficult for any teacher, howsoever, resourceful to build any rapport or conduct interactive sessions in such large classes. The curriculum is ‘covered’ in a poor manner. The academic values are brushed aside with nonchalance and the sole factor that governs the school authorities is the money that these large numbers rake in.
Will the authorities look into this sad state of affairs and bring an end to this commercialisation of education resulting in falling academic standards?
Yours truly

(a) Our colony in Gacchi Bowli has more than ten thousand residents.
(b) We do not have basic amenities like post office-cum-telegraph office in our area. We face a lot of inconvenience because of the above and many a time urgent mail is lost due to careless handling. On approaching the sub-post office, we are told that they would not register our complaint. Since ours is a newly established colony, no one is willing to listen to our problem. Our colony is in dire need of a post office.
I am sanguine that the competent authorities will be kind enough to pay heed to our need and open a branch post office in our locality.

Our colony has been in darkness with no street light for the last six months. There are no street lights even on the main road leading to this colony. This road gets so dark after seven in the evenings in winter that the possibility of some major accident cannot be ruled out. Moreover, the crime rate has gone up. In fact, it has now become a serious problem to go out especially in winter evenings. The women and children of the locality are the worst sufferers. Even the playtime of the children has been adversely affected as it is now restricted to sunset time.
On behalf of the residents of the colony I request the authorities to wake up and take immediate steps to ensure that street lights are in working orders so that major accidents are averted.

Dear Sir
Sub: Noise pollution in Janata Nagar
Your paper brought out a special supplement on the state of noise pollution in our city but nothing worth mentioning has been done since then to reduce the level of noise. During peak hours the noise level crosses 100 decibel mark. It is feared that constant exposure to high level of noise for long periods may not only cause deafness but also induce other diseases like headache, hypertension and blood pressure.
Ours is a posh locality situated in a lush green area. It was the most quiet area in the city. However, for the last one year, there has been a steady increase in noise pollution and it has become intolerable. Even at late night one can hear loudspeakers blaring out marriage songs, jagran bhajans or election speeches. Although high pitched noise is no good for any one, its worst victims are the students whose concentration is disturbed and the people suffering from hypertension and heart related ailments.
Will it be possible for you to invite the attention of the civic authorities towards our plight? Will they impose some curbs and restraints on the use of loudspeakers after 10 pm?
Yours truly
Gaurav /Gauri
