[h=1]20km Pink Line stretch to open soon[/h] TNN | Updated: Feb 21, 2018, 01:43 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63005508,width-400,resizemode-4/63005508.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: The [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Majlis-Park"]Majlis Park[/URL] to [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Durgabai-Deshmukh-South-Campus"]Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus[/URL] stretch of Delhi Metro�s [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Pink-Line"]Pink Line[/URL] is going to open next month. The safety inspection of the 20.6-km section is going to be carried out at the end of February and after a safety go-ahead, the stretch would be opened to public. [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-Metro-Rail-Corporation"]Delhi Metro Rail Corporation[/URL](DMRC) had recently completed the trials and testing on this section of the Pink Line (Line 7) of Phase III. The Majlis [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Park-Durgabai-Deshmukh-South-Campus"]Park-Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus[/URL] will be the first section of the Pink Line (Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar) to be opened. The Pink Line, one of the longest in [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-Metro"]Delhi Metro[/URL] network, will function like an arc connecting north, northwest, west and south Delhi. The rest of the 58.59-km corridor would be completed by June this year, except for a 1.5 km stretch between Trilokpuri and [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Mayur-Vihar"]Mayur Vihar[/URL] Pocket-1 due to a land issue at Trilokpuri. A DMRC spokesperson said that the section would be inspected by the Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) from February 26 to 28. After a green signal from the CMRS, the section can be opened for commercial operations. This section has 12 stations, including three interchange stations � Azadpur, Netaji Subhash Place and Rajouri Garden � apart from interchange facility with the Airport Express Line at Dhaula Kuan. The metro will also cross Dhaula Kuan at a height of 23.6 metres (as high as a seven-storey building) to reach South Campus from Majlis Park, which is the highest point ever reached by the Delhi Metro. Starting from Majlis Park, there would be an interchange at the next station itself � Azadpur � where the Pink Line will connect with the Yellow Line (Samaypur Badli-HUDA City Centre). The next interchange station on the route is Netaji Subhash Place of Red Line (Rithala-Dilshad Garden), after which the next interchange is at Rajouri Garden, where commuters can interchange with the Blue Line (Dwarka Sector 21-Noida City Centre/Vaishali). The last interchange of the section would be between Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus and Dhaula Kuan station of the Airport Express Line. The two stations are located at a distance of about 1 km and would be connected with a walkway that would have walkators for the comfort of commuters. At present, the Airport Express Line sees a daily ridership of about 50,000, which DMRC believes will go up substantially as the high-speed corridor would now be connected to west Delhi, thanks to the Pink Line. While the existing Delhi Metro corridors are designed as radials spread across NCR, the Pink Line is conceptualised as a large ring that will connect all these corridors.

[h=1]Metro Matters: Not Master Plans, it�s the authorities that messed up Delhi[/h] [h=2]The three Master Plans gave broad direction for planned growth in Delhi, but the civic authorities and the government failed to complete the cycle by drawing up local, zonal plans and operational strategies.[/h] Updated: Feb 19, 2018 13:21 IST Hindustan Times [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/rf/image_size_960x540/HT/p2/2018/02/19/Pictures/shahjahanabad-walled-city_c79c94fc-153d-11e8-80b7-5f600041ef82.jpg[/IMG] Traffic chaos in Shahjahanabad at Fatehpuri in New Delhi.(Sanchit Khanna/HT PHOTO) Put on the back foot by the revival of the Supreme Court-monitored committee on sealing and demolition, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is yet again seeking to sidestep the crisis through the regularisation route by tweaking the Delhi Master Plan. While the Authority is yet to justify such attempts before the Apex court, the expiry of the current Master Plan in 2021 gives it an opportunity to hasten the redrafting exercise. The changing realities of Delhi may indeed require updating the Master Plan, but the current crisis was not caused by any lack of vision in planning. Instead, it is the persistent failure of the authorities to implement successive Master Plans since the 1960s that have created the urban mess in Delhi. Drawn up 56 years ago, the first Master Plan identified the need for developing �ring towns� around Delhi to absorb the future growth. Prescribing only a �modest growth� for Gurgaon �which was handicapped for want of good water sources,� the planners asked for the development of Delhi Metropolitan area to include Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Bahadurgarh, Ballabhgarh and Loni. Narela was singled out for its potential with adequate water, a wholesale food market and manufacturing units. By the time the urbanisation of Delhi was to reach its optimum limit in 1981, the planners recommended that the Narela Township would be �an ideal place for suburban living�. While Gurgaon became a boom town, the DDA�s township in Narela failed even to take off. Thanks to population pressure and unabated construction of high-rises, Gurgaon�s groundwater levels have plummeted dangerously low and its citizens are living on borrowed water. The [URL="http://m.hindustantimes.com/india/dda-spruces-up-narela-sub-city-waits-for-metro-to-enter/story-aYvYoBTKgipaBQbKyuMWML.html"]Narela township remains a ghost town[/URL], rejected by buyers in the absence of transport connectivity. The planners also mandated setting up of �urban villages to �strengthen the rural economy� and recommended �comprehensive master plan for the villages indicating various kinds of land uses.� More than five decades later, Delhi�s 135 urban villages are still missing on the civic map. With most buildings built in violation of municipal norms, these are also the city�s worst death traps. While pollution had not made it to the parlance of planning, the first master plan did call for stopping sewage overflows into the Yamuna. It also underlined the importance of keeping residential areas free from �smoke, noise, odour and other nuisances.� The plan also mandated shifting hazardous industries and redeveloping vacant plots or dilapidated structures as community facilities in the [URL="https://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi-news/in-walled-city-suburbs-ambitious-delhi-master-plan-collapsed-due-to-inaction/story-OJJcFwb0m7uSpbFF2ATIFL.html"]walled city and its extension areas[/URL] such as Sadar Bazar, Paharganj, and Karol Bagh. To decongest the roads, it floated ideas such as staggered work hours to distribute peak traffic load over the day. None of these recommendations were adequately implemented. If the first master plan failed to provide for the conservation of Delhi�s physical heritage, safeguarding against the ecological threat and allowing mixed land-use, the next two prescribed course correction and prioritised all three. The present master plan has identified six heritage zones and designated three archaeological parks for protection. But [URL="https://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi-news/three-master-plans-50-years-same-old-delhi/story-u0hiX5hAbS7hIrxfTCEdQM.html"]Shahjahanbad, one of the largest designated heritage zones, witnessed a civic collapse[/URL]. Without any sanctioned plans, floors have been added to dilapidated heritage buildings and warehouses were built to stock dangerous chemicals. The present master plan also notified 2,183 roads for mixed land use. But in the absence of local planning and enforcement to ensure that the properties switching to commercial use were provisioning for parking, not encroaching on public land or violating building norms, these stretches are some of the most congested commercial spaces in the city today. While the master plan gives a broad direction, it is the responsibility of the DDA to subsequently draw up zonal plans. The MCD has to follow up with local area plans or operational strategies based on ground realities, and the Delhi government has to ensure that services are delivered. Much of Delhi�s urban mess is the result of the failure of authorities to complete this chain. In 1962, Delhi required a master plan � to quote from the opening line of the document � �to check the haphazard and unplanned growth� following the partition.� After more than half a century, the master plan faces the same challenge. This time, the authorities have only themselves to blame.

[h=1]After rap from SC panel, corporations seal 130 units[/h] Paras Singh| TNN | Updated: Feb 21, 2018, 01:56 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63005570,width-400,resizemode-4/63005570.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: Sealing drive reached South Extension-I on Tuesday when the local shopping complex in D-block of the area was targeted for misuse of properties as per the directions of the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/monitoring"]monitoring[/URL]committee. As many as 30 units in the form of basements and upper floors of properties in the local shopping centre were sealed for �misuse and non-payment of conversion charges,� the members of building department undertaking the action said. With over 130 units being sealed across Delhi every day, the drive has picked up pace after a recent [URL="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/rap-media-ltd/stocks/companyid-6209.cms"]rap[/URL] from the monitoring committee that had ordered the corporations to speed up the process that had slowed down since Republic Day. Many people in South Extension complained that they have been rendered homeless despite using the properties for purely residential purposes. �I was in office when I was informed that our house is being sealed. We lived there for 10 years,� said Arjun Singh, a resident of D block. The owner of [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/VAG-InfoTech-institute"]VAG InfoTech institute[/URL] in D-42, [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Vineet-Gupta"]Vineet Gupta[/URL], said that over 400 students of the institute will be affected from its sealing. �I have been paying conversion charges since 2008 under commercial category but they�re telling me now that a rate of Rs 22,000 per sq m is applicable on it. I was not informed earlier,� said Gupta. Avneesh Mittal, a trader working in the computer repair field said that he and his six employees were suddenly on the street. Another 10 properties in Janakpuri West were sealed by SDMC. The action taken report stated that these properties were sealed because of commercial activities there. The focus remained on targeting violations related to stilt parking in the north corporation. �Teams from building headquarters of four zones � Sadar Paharganj, Rohini, Keshavpuram and Civil Lines � sealed 76 stilt parking spaces. One basement was sealed too,� a spokesperson of north [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/corporation"]corporation[/URL] said. According to the action taken report, 12 stilt parking spaces were sealed in Ram Nagar and Daryaganj; 40 in Sector 8 and 11 of Rohini, Sunder Vihar and Paschim Vihar. Additionally, 12 stilt parking units were sealed at Shalimar Bagh, Jawahar Nagar and Bungalow Road, and 12 in Mukherjee Nagar and Malka Ganj. In east Delhi, 14 properties were sealed in areas including Surajmal Vihar, Surya Niketan, Pushpanjali, Shyam Enclave and Sharad Vihar in Shahdara south zone.
