[B]Cash-strapped civic bodies yet to use swachh funds[/B] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-AlokKNMishra-479248959.cms"]AlokKNMishra[/URL]| TNN | Updated: Feb 14, 2018, 03:01 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-62908159,width-400,resizemode-4/62908159.jpg[/IMG]Representative image NEW DELHI: A major part of Rs 87-crore [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Swachh"]Swachh[/URL] Bharat [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/funds"]funds[/URL] given to north and east [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/corporations"]corporations[/URL] remain [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/unspent"]unspent[/URL]even though these two corporations are cash-strapped and struggle to generate funds for even the basic expenses. According to a Delhi government report, north corporation had utilised only 22% of the Rs 46 crore as on December 31, 2017, while the east corporation spent 53% of its share of Rs 41 crore. The funds had come from both the Centre and the Delhi government. "For spending on building toilets, and creating awareness and capacity building, the corporations needed only planning and execution and nothing else," said an official. However, for solid waste management, the corporations needed to make 56% contribution to the funds. The corporations haven't bothered to create awareness about the sanitation mobile applications they had launched on December 29 last year. That's why these continue to be extremely ineffective. Both north and east corporations had recently claimed an open defecation-free status. But rampant open defection continues and officials of both corporations are aware of this. Yet funds weren't spent on creating awareness. Officials in both corporations, however, claimed that by December 31 last year, funds had been earmarked under different heads. "Around 80% funds have been utilised recently, but utilisation certificates haven't been shared with the government. We will do that soon," said a north corporation official. East corporation also claimed that it has spent around 75% of the funds and would submit a report to the government on it soon. Unspent Swachh funds are transferred.

[h=1]As Jamia turns 150, its founder's grave almost vanishes into history[/h] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-Mohammad-Ibrar-479245494.cms"]Mohammad Ibrar[/URL]| TNN | Updated: Feb 14, 2018, 02:35 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-62908127,width-400,resizemode-4/62908127.jpg[/IMG]Freedom fighter Hakim Ajmal Khan is buried near the Hasan Rasool slum compound on Panchkuian Road. NEW DELHI: Inside the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Hasan-Rasool-slum-compound"]Hasan Rasool slum compound[/URL] on [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Panchkuian"]Panchkuian[/URL] Road lie several closely packed houses. In their midst is a mausoleum of the Sufi saint after whom the settlement, which probably came up after Partition, is named. But also buried nearby is [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Hakim-Ajmal-Khan"]Hakim Ajmal Khan[/URL], the co-founder of [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Jamia"]Jamia[/URL] Millia Islamia and a pioneer of [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Unani-medicine"]Unani medicine[/URL]. "He was a philanthropist, a famous hakim, and a freedom fighter who was a contemporary of Gandhiji and took part in the Khilafat Movement. But today his name is hardly heard except for a road and a park in central Delhi named after him," said Masroor Ahmed, Khan's great grandnephew who lives in their heritage haveli in the Walled City's Ballimaran area. Ahmed is among the few of the family who stayed back in India; the rest migrated to Pakistan and established a Unani medicine business there. "His relatives from Pakistan continue to come here regularly and pray at his grave," said Mohammad Imran, who lives in a house adjacent to the grave. The grave is in a terrible shape and has nothing but a headstone bearing the name of Khan. "It were the Pakistani relatives who came here and put up iron grilles to make the grave distinct as this whole place is filled with many graves," Imran said. Ahmed however said the people who live around the graves are encroachers. "It's my family graveyard and several of my ancestors lie there," he said. He also blamed the government for not doing enough. "For all these years, the grave was in a shambles. No one from the government or the Waqf Board ever bothered to save it. The stature that my great granduncle had, he deserved a beautiful mausoleum, much like the Zakir Hussain monument at Jamia," Ahmed said. Historian Rana Safvi, however, blamed it on the family for the state of the grave: "The family could have done more for the grave. They should go there regularly and perform prayers." Meanwhile, Jamia celebrated its 150th anniversary on Monday. "When I came here, there was nothing on his name to pay respects. It was then that we decided to initiate programmes on his name and have inaugurated an exhibition at the university's Premchand archives," vice-chancellor Talat Ahmed said, adding that the university would now have PhD and diploma courses on Unani medicine.

[h=1]CBI files 2 FIRs in govt land transfers[/h] TNN | Updated: Feb 14, 2018, 02:39 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-62908130,width-400,resizemode-4/62908130.jpg[/IMG]Representative image NEW DELHI: The [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/CBI"]CBI[/URL] has filed two FIRs to probe alleged [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/transfer"]transfer[/URL] of about 30 acres of prime [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/government-land"]government land[/URL], worth hundreds of crore, in south Delhi's upscale Saket area to private individuals through alleged tampering of records. The gram sabha land, under the control of Delhi government in Asola village, was transferred to private individuals in connivance with revenue department officials, CBI claims. It is alleged that some officials of the revenue department tampered the land records to insert the name of one Mahesh as the land owner (Bhumidar) of these government properties. Mahesh later sold these properties to a woman, Raman Mehra, at prices which were alleged to be just a small fraction of prevailing market rates, CBI said. After the scam surfaced, an inquiry was ordered by the office of LG Anil Baijal. "Since, Mahesh is the main beneficiary as he received Rs 1.40 crore from Raman Mehra by selling 10 bighas gram sabha land, he is also responsible for this conspiracy out of the said tampering," the inquiry report said. The report was cited by Ankita Chakravarty, the then SDM (Saket). Mahesh allegedly sold 10 bighas of gram sabha land to Mehra for Rs 1.40 crore, the report said.

[h=1]CPCB told to test ammonia levels at four spots in Delhi[/h] TNN | Feb 14, 2018, 04:33 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-62908172,width-400,resizemode-4/62908172.jpg[/IMG]Representative image NEW DELHI: A day after [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-Jal-Board"]Delhi Jal Board[/URL] ([URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/DJB"]DJB[/URL]) filed a petition in the National Green Tribunal (NGT) seeking reply from the Haryana government over high [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/ammonia-levels"]ammonia levels[/URL] in the Yamuna, [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/NGT"]NGT[/URL] has directed [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/CPCB"]CPCB[/URL] to collect and analyse samples from four major locations to tests for [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/ammonia"]ammonia[/URL]concentration. The plea, filed on Monday, had stated that the river had high ammonia levels polluting the drinking water source. A bench comprising Justice Jawad Rahim and SP Wangdi ordered Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to collect samples to detect the levels of ammonia and other pollutants at four locations — Pajewala in Haryana, Wazirabad water treatment plant, Okhla and ITO barrage. NGT further asked CPCB to submit the findings in the next date of hearing on February 16. On Monday, NGT had served a notice to the Haryana government seeking a reply on the high ammonia levels. "The present application, filed by DJB, seeks direction to the Haryana government to urgently take steps and check dangerous ammonia levels and other consequent pollution in the drinking water source of the Yamuna," said the petition, citing that it has been the cause of polluted water in Wazirabad reservoir. DJB had also contended that the sewage treatment plants were being unable to treat water properly, due to which the pollution levels were extremely high. "Constantly monitor ammonia levels before the water enters into the Wazirabad pond in Delhi from Haryana. Take immediate steps to clean the water and reduce the foul smell," the plea said, adding immediate steps were needed to keep ammonia levels below 0.3 PPM and under no circumstances above 0.5 PPM. A DJB estimate states that nearly 35% of the water supply in Delhi was affected due to high ammonia levels and pollution.

This, however, is only a small step forward in the project. The 3.5km-long elevated corridor is aimed at providing hassle-free connectivity between east and south Delhi. With a gradual increase in traffic on NH-24 and the DND flyway, there is an urgent need for an alternative route to connect the two parts of the capital. Sources say the traffic volume is likely to increase with completion of the NH-24 widening project. PWD had found out about the two plots soon after it started work in 2015, when [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/DDA"]DDA[/URL] handed over land for the project. It had then requested the government's land and building department for acquiring the plots. However, the acquisition process started only in July 2017 with the panel for SIA being notified. This delay has proved costly. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/62907970/Master.jpg[/IMG] Lieutenant governor Anil Baijal assigned the work to Ambedkar University's School of Human Ecology in September 2017. PWD officials say it will take a minimum of one-and-a-half years from the day land is handed over to them to complete the project. And there is a long way to go. [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Ambedkar-University"]Ambedkar University[/URL] submitted the SIA report, which is mandatory under the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, to the district magistrate of southeast Delhi on Tuesday. "We have got the report. The university will now finalise the report after obtaining public suggestions/objections and then submit it to the expert committee of land and building department. The expert committee will submit its final report to the Delhi government, based on which a notification will be issued," said BS Jaglan, district magistrate, southeast Delhi. "We are exploring all options, including direct purchase, to acquire the land," said a government spokesperson. Infrastructure projects did not receive much attention from the government in its first two years. Barapullah Phase-III is being constructed over the Yamuna, connecting Sarai Kale Khan in the south to [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Mayur-Vihar"]Mayur Vihar[/URL] in the east. While work at both the ends is going on, PWD is unable to complete the construction work in the middle. The deadline had been revised to May 2018. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/62907984/Master.jpg[/IMG] However, Sarvagya Srivastava, engineer-in-chief, [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-PWD"]Delhi PWD[/URL], said: "We can't say anything about the deadline. It all depends on when we get the land. We will need at least 18 months to complete the work from the day the land is handed over to us." PWD officials say 45-50% of the work has been completed. The crucial part of the project is constructing a bridge over the river for which PWD has to dig 12 well foundations. While work on eight has been completed, four are stuck due to the land acquisition problem and shifting of a Transco line. "Each well foundation takes nearly eight months," said an official. Meanwhile, it took PWD almost two years to get permission from Delhi Transco Limited (DTL) to start the process to shift its line. "We started the work in January this year and will finish it by May," said a PWD official. [h=2]The villagers of Nangli Razapur who own the two land parcels are willing to sell their land to the government but have demanded Rs 7-9 crore per acre as compensation. "It was turned down by the government as the amount is very high," said an official.

We want the government to pay us Rs 7crore per acre," said one of the farmers, Rajbir Singh Tanwar.

[h=1]Parks, roads, transport must be disabled-friendly: HC[/h] [URL="http://www.thehindu.com/profile/author/Soibam-Rocky-Singh/"][IMG]http://www.thehindu.com/static/theme/default/base/img/author-deafault.png[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://www.thehindu.com/profile/author/Soibam-Rocky-Singh/"]Soibam Rocky Singh[/URL] NEW DELHI, FEBRUARY 14, 2018 00:00 IST UPDATED: FEBRUARY 14, 2018 03:48 IST [IMG]http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-newdelhi/article22747143.ece/alternates/FREE_660/13-DE-Rocky-DelG4D3E1T6F3jpgjpg[/IMG] The Bench directed civic agencies to take up one or more areas in their jurisdiction as pilot projects to make them completely disabled-friendly.File photo: Shanker Chakravarty [h=2]'Entrance of most parks are narrow or have revolving gate'[/h] The Delhi High Court on Tuesday directed the Centre, city government and civic agencies to sensitise public officials on issues affecting people with disabilities. A Bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C. Hari Shankar ordered the government and civic authorities to hold a meeting of architectural and engineering divisions to formulate a training module to sensitise their officials. "There is complete lack of sensitivity to issues concerning disability. This is on account of ignorance towards issues faced by the disabled," the Bench remarked while hearing a plea by Delhi-resident Nipun Malhotra seeking to make public buildings, transport and parks disabled-friendly. Advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai, appearing for Mr. Malhotra, pointed out that most public parks in Delhi lack proper access for the disabled and aged persons due to narrow entry points. [B]'Practical problem'[/B] The Bench said it was a "very practical problem" as entrances to most public parks were narrow or had a revolving gate, making it tough to access for the disabled and the elderly. It directed the civic agencies to take up one or more areas in their jurisdiction as pilot projects to make them completely disabled- friendly. Advocate Naushad Ahmed Khan, appearing for the Delhi government and the Delhi Police, said 22 buildings of the Delhi Police were disabled-friendly, including the police headquarters. The Bench asked if the Delhi Police have lock-ups with disabled-friendly toilets, not just for the complainants but also for the accused. "Are there disabled-friendly toilets in Tihar," the Bench asked. "We cannot tolerate exclusion on any account…on the basis of caste or colour or creed or any other criteria," the Bench said adding even juvenile homes, homes for the aged, or Nirmal Chhaya homes for women and other such establishments need to be made disabled-friendly. The court also expressed disappointment that even after more than two years since the petition was filed, many government departments, including the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, Delhi Development Authority and , South Delhi Municipal Corporation, have not bothered to conduct disability audit of their buildings. The Bench remarked that while under the Accessible India campaign, 50% of all public buildings in the Capital were to be made fully disabled-friendly by July 2018 but many of them are yet to be audited. It directed the presence of Chief Engineer of DDA and the Additional Deputy Commissioner of SDMC on the next date with their respective audit report.

A Bench headed by judicial member Jawad Rahim said: "Since this is more of an assertion than an allegation...the CPCB should collect samples at Pajewala [in Haryana], and Wazirabad Water Treatment Plant, ITO and Okhla barrages [in Delhi] and submit a report by February 16. The report shall contain an analysis report of ammonia and other pollutants in the water." The DJB on February 12 had moved a plea in the NGT stating that Haryana was diverting water containing excessive levels of ammonia. It alleged that the level of ammonia was so high that treatment plants were incapable of treating the water and making it suitable for drinking. The DJB had claimed: "The water which is being received from Haryana is blackish in colour and has a foul smell, resulting in possibility of huge health outbreak in Delhi." The plea had alleged that the primary cause of pollution appeared to be addition of untreated domestic and industrial waste in some areas, including Panipat and Sonipat. Counsel for DJB told the NGT that the level of ammonia in the water is negligible at the point of source in Haryana but the level is very high when the water enters Delhi. Counsel for Haryana contended that shortage of water supply in the Capital was because of inaction on the part of the DJB and not because of the Haryana government.

(Source: PTI) On Valentine's Day today, a group of traders offered roses to passersby near municipal offices in central Delhi to draw their attention towards the issues they are facing because of the ongoing sealing drive in the city. The main demonstration of the traders was held under the umbrella of the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) in front of the civic centre that houses the headquarters of North and South Delhi municipal corporations on Minto Road. The traders held placards and presented roses to passersby. The CAIT had championed the protest as 'My Valentine-My Shop'. "Since there was a holiday today, resulting in absence of officials, we placed a large number of roses at the main gate of the Civic Centre. Similar protests were held at all zonal offices of the corporations," the CAIT said in a statement. The industry body had yesterday urged Chief Minister [URL="http://indianexpress.com/about/arvind-kejriwal"]Arvind Kejriwal[/URL] to bring an ordinance or a bill in the Delhi Assembly to stop the sealing drive that began from the Defence Colony Market in late December. The sealing is being carried out in Delhi at the instance of a Supreme Court-appointed monitoring committee against commercial properties for violation of civic norms. The CAIT said a rally will be held tomorrow at Ghantaghar area in Chandni Chowk.
