[h=1]Arvind Kejriwal writes to Narendra Modi on sealings[/h] TNN | Mar 11, 2018, 02:33 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63251001,width-400,resizemode-4/63251001.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/wrote"]wrote[/URL] letters to Prime Minister Narendra [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Modi"]Modi[/URL]and Congress president [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Rahul-Gandhi"]Rahul Gandhi[/URL] on Saturday, seeking the former�s intervention in introducing a [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Bill"]Bill[/URL] in Parliament to usher changes in law to [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/stop"]stop[/URL] the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/sealing-drive"]sealing drive[/URL] in Delhi and the latter�s help in insisting on such an enactment in the current session of the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Lok-Sabha"]Lok Sabha[/URL]. On Friday, [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Kejriwal"]Kejriwal[/URL] had announced that he would go on a hunger strike if the sealing did not stop by March 31. Acting on the directions of the Supreme Court-appointed monitoring committee, the municipal corporations have sealed a large number of commercial establishments for their failure to pay the land-use conversion charges and for other violations of the norms as set out in Delhi Master Plan 2021. Warning that the largescale unemployment arising from the sealing of shops can impact the law and order situation in the capital, Kejriwal also sought time with the PM and Gandhi to discuss the �very serious� issue in an effort to find a just resolution. In his letter to the PM, Kejriwal stressed on a Bill in Parliament to �remove anomalies in the law� that he said had led to the sealing of shops. Saying it was the responsibility of the Centre to remove such anomalies, he charged the Union government with failing to �take corrective action in time�. He added that the honest and tax-paying traders were facing the brunt of the sealing drive and were suffering. �The traders are on the verge of starvation because each shop is a means of livelihood,� Kejriwal wrote, while warning, �If all of them are rendered unemployed (due to sealing) then it may impact law and order situation.� [h=2]In his letter to the Congress president, Kejriwal said, �This issue needs to be strongly raised in Parliament and pressure should be exerted on the Centre to bring a Bill to stop the sealing.�[/h] Meanwhile, the Confederation of All India Traders has called a Delhi Trade Bandh on March 13 to protest against the sealings. After the Supreme Court restrained the Centre, Delhi government and Delhi Development Authority on Tuesday from giving effect to amendments in the master plan that would provide relief to the traders, the sealing drive has resumed. The apex court had expressed deep annoyance at DDA, the municipal corporations and Delhi government not �bothering� to file replies to the queries raised by the court on the matter.

[h=1]Sealing drive: Ajay Maken offers help to find solution[/h] TNN | Mar 11, 2018, 02:38 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63251159,width-400,resizemode-4/63251159.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: Delhi [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Pradesh-Congress-Committee"]Pradesh Congress Committee[/URL]president [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Ajay-Maken"]Ajay Maken[/URL] on Saturday wrote to the Union minister of housing and urban affairs [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Hardeep-Singh-Puri"]Hardeep Singh Puri[/URL] and Delhi chief minister [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Arvind-Kejriwal"]Arvind Kejriwal[/URL], seeking an appointment with them to provide a solution for the ongoing [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/sealing-drive"]sealing drive[/URL] in the capital. �I can say with confidence that to save Delhi from the sealing drive, many amendments had been made in the Master Plan 2021 and according to the amended Master Plan and the National Capital Territory of Delhi Laws (Special Provisions) Second Act, 2011, no sealing can be carried out in Delhi,� said Maken, in his letter to Puri and Kejriwal. Maken, who has been a Union minister for housing and urban affairs in the past, said that it was very sad, the way in which the Centre and Delhi government were handling the sealing issue. He further said that the situation in Delhi could worsen if the sealing issue was not tackled sensibly in the coming days. �Because of the sealing, not only have the lives of traders and shopkeepers been ruined, but the poor people who work in these establishments are also on the verge of starvation,� added Maken.

[h=1]Traders call for bandh on March 13, ask CM to act now[/h] TNN | Mar 11, 2018, 02:31 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63250991,width-400,resizemode-4/63250991.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: After chief minister Arvind [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Kejriwal"]Kejriwal[/URL] announced on Friday that he will go on a [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/hunger-strike"]hunger strike[/URL] if the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/sealing"]sealing[/URL]issue is not resolved by March 31, traders� associations, while slamming the Delhi CM, said that the government needs to act now. Confederation [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/of-All-India-Traders"]of All India Traders[/URL] (CAIT) has called for a Delhi Trade [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Bandh"]Bandh[/URL] on March 13 against the ongoing sealing drive initiated by the local bodies on the directions of a monitoring committee appointed by the Supreme Court. South Delhi Municipal Corporation�s sealing drive in Amar Colony market has attracted a lot of criticism and a strong protest from the traders. While the traders claim that the sealing at Amar Colony market is illegal as the stretch is notified under the commercial street and running commercial activity is legal, SDMC, in its clarification, has said that the shops were sealed because of violations of law. �As per the layout plan of Lajpat Nagar-IV, right of way of road between the blocks is 36 feet while the total space between the blocks is 60 feet. The common space in front of each of these blocks is 12 feet, which is L&DO land. The said common space, which was actually meant for the movement of pedestrians and various other community services, has been encroached by the occupants to the extent of 12 feet in the front and approximately 30 feet in the rear. Large scale alterations/additions have been made by way of permanent and semi-permanent structures in flagrant violation of law and usurping invaluable public land. ,� said an SDMC spokesperson. CAIT criticised Kejriwal�s announcement of the hunger strike and termed it as �political drama.� [h=2]�The trading community of Delhi is not impressed by Kejriwal�s announcement since he is not doing what he is capable of but trying to score political mileage,� said a CAIT spokesperson.[/h] CAIT general secretary, Praveen Khandelwal, said that Kejriwal should honestly work for traders and should pass a bill for moratorium on sealing in the ensuing session of the assembly and forward it to the Centre for approval.

[h=1]North corporation plays with kids� future, builds parking lot on school playground[/h] Paras Singh| TNN | Mar 11, 2018, 02:04 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63250874,width-400,resizemode-4/63250874.jpg[/IMG]SCHOOL CHILDREN FROM THIS AC BLOCK SCHOOL AT SHALIMAR BAGH IN DELHI. PHOTO BY RAJESH MEHTA. NEW DELHI: When hundreds of students of the municipal primary school in [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Shalimar-Bagh"]Shalimar Bagh[/URL] return to their revamped institution later this year, their huge playground would no longer be there. In what seems a blatant violation of a Delhi high court order, the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/North-Delhi-Municipal-Corporation"]North Delhi Municipal Corporation[/URL] has decided to appropriate the field to erect a multi-level [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/parking-lot"]parking lot[/URL]. This is the second such foray of the civic body in recent times. What's more, it is ready to consider more projects of the sort if it finds slots in other schools. In terms of infrastructure, the primary school in Shalimar Bagh�s AC Block did not have much, save for 10 dilapidated rooms. But it had a big asset: a 5,755-square metre playground with swings and slides. �When the rebuilding of the school began three months ago, we were assured that a play area would be earmarked on the plot, but this news of a parking complex is saddening,� a teacher said. On February 28, the standing committee of the corporation passed a proposal that says: �The school will be reconstructed on a portion measuring 2,955sqm, while 2,800sqm will be used to build a multi-level parking lot." The parents of over 370 students, aged 5 to 10 years, are worried about the safety of their children. Would the politicians take over playgrounds if their children were studying in those schools, remonstrated Deepali Singh, one anxious parent. Vikram Sihl, a Class V student, said the playground was their biggest joy in school. �We used it for PT, games and for all activities. Even private schools don�t have such a nice playground,� he said. Fellow student Suraj Kumar agreed. �We did not have to go the playground across the road. Where will our swings and slides go?� he wondered. Unlike the youngsters, the teachers held back their comments for fear of a backlash, though their faces betrayed their dismay. One of them, who asked not to be named, rued, �The parking lot will mean noise, pollution and compromised security and the new building will be cramped. Till now, our school had one of the best gardens and a big field. People called it a mini Santiniketan.� Tilak Raj Kataria, chairman of the standing committee, initially argued that the plot did not belong to the school and was only being used as a playground because it was lying vacant. It was then pointed out that the proposal cleared by his committee admitted that the parking would be built on the school �premises� and also that the Shalimar Bagh layout plan marks the site as �P.S.�, for primary school. Kataria then agreed that land use had been changed. �All necessary clearances have been taken and the safety of school kids will not be compromised because the entrance to the parking will be cordoned off,� he added. [h=2]The takeover of school land did not receive any opposition in the standing committee meeting, and sources said the corporation is scouting schools with extra land for similar annexations, despite the decision openly flouting the 2004 Delhi high court directive disallowing use of school land for any non-educational purpose.[/h] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Supreme-Court"]Supreme Court[/URL] lawyer and education activist Khagesh Jha, however, contended that the project wasn�t legally tenable. �The courts have even shut down dispensaries that were started on school premises,� he said. As for the land being redundant, Jha said indignantly, �Any extra land can be used to build school infrastructure to accommodate the over 20 lakh kids currently outside the school system as well as children from unrecognised schools.� [url]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/n-corp-plays-with-kids-future-builds-parking-lot-on-school-playground/articleshow/63250875.cms[/url]

[h=1]Below Naraina�s urban chaos, a world-class metro station is ready[/h] Paras Singh| TNN | Updated: Mar 11, 2018, 01:54 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63250826,width-400,resizemode-4/63250826.jpg[/IMG] NEW DELHI: The harmonious blend of gleaming steel, colourful art and tasteful jali panels below the ground are in sharp contrast to the overground scene at Delhi Metro�s [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Naraina"]Naraina[/URL] station on the upcoming [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Pink-Line"]Pink Line[/URL]. For 18 metres above the modern serenity is urban chaos � congested Naraina village and residential localities cheek by jowl with the metro stop. The densely populated village posed a big challenge during construction, and as a rail company official said, �We had to use building techniques never used anywhere else on the network.� [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63251073/Master.jpg[/IMG] �Traffic management in the narrow lanes leading to the station box site was a big problem, while we couldn�t hamper life in the residential areas during the movement of our massive machinery,� the official said. Land acquisition too was a nightmare, the site of the station being located directly below the existing DDA shopping complex. [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/DMRC"]DMRC[/URL] got space only to build the entry and exit gates and had to fight for the additional land. �After shopkeepers were initially reluctant to move out of the complex, we had to sign an MoU for them to allow construction and then move into a new shopping complex to be built for them,� the official revealed, pointing to the multi-storey pink building in the distance. Space was so scarce that DMRC did not get land to build shafts for lowering the tunnel boring machine and for the first time, both the station box and the tunnel were built utilising the same space. �It took us 30 days just to drag the 427-tonne boring machine over 210 metres, making sure the platform, which had already been built, wasn�t harmed during the tunnelling process,� said the official. This also meant that unlike during tunnelling elsewhere, here the boring machine could be moved only 20 metres a day. The Naraina [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/metro-station"]metro station[/URL] has no parking space, so a dedicated lane has been laid out to facilitate pick up and drop. This will be welcomed by the 1.5 lakh people who are likely to use the station. The new station has in its vicinity [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Naraina-Vihar"]Naraina Vihar[/URL], Naraina village and the industrial areas of Shadipur and Loha Mandi and parts of Mayapuri. Belying the congestion on the ground, the station below is an oasis of aesthetics. Entries had been invited from artists across Delhi and the winning entries have been reproduced in the form of 40 digitally printed glass panels. The station platforms have been adorned with the traditional jali work to provide a red-and-pink-sandstone ambience. The station is ready to open, but some residents are not happy. Shailendera Kumar Vashisht, president of the A Block DDA Commercial Complex Welfare Association, complained, �There is unhappiness and resentment among residents of Naraina because the station gates pose a threat to their security and invades their privacy.� [url]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/below-narainas-urban-chaos-a-world-class-metro-station-is-ready/articleshow/63250826.cms[/url]

[h=1]Sealing drive: Ajay Maken thanks CM Kejriwal for all-party meet, BJP yet to decide on participation[/h] [h=2]Praising the chief minister for inviting the BJP for the meeting, since the three municipal corporations of Delhi are ruled by the saffron party, the Congress leader expressed hope that the BJP would participate in the meeting and said the situation demands "positive politics".[/h] By: [URL="http://indianexpress.com/agency/pti/"]PTI[/URL] | New Delhi | Published: March 11, 2018 3:28 pm Delhi Congress president Ajay Maken thanked Chief Minister [URL="http://indianexpress.com/about/arvind-kejriwal"]Arvind Kejriwal[/URL] for calling an all-party meeting on the sealing issue, while the BJP said they would decide on their participation after consulting state unit chief Manoj Tiwari, who is currently abroad. The chief minister has written to Maken and Tiwari, inviting them for the meeting at his residence on Tuesday and said, �We should rise above politics and come together to find a solution to the problems that have risen due to sealing.� Maken, who had written a letter to Kejriwal on Saturday, offering to share with the chief minister what he felt could be a solution to stop the ongoing sealing drive, thanked him for accepting his request. Praising the chief minister for inviting the BJP for the meeting, since the three municipal corporations of Delhi are ruled by the saffron party, the Congress leader expressed hope that the BJP would participate in the meeting and said the situation demands �positive politics�. Meanwhile, the Delhi BJP said Tiwari is abroad as part of a delegation accompanying President Ram Nath Kovind and will be back by March 15. An office-bearer of the party said a decision on Kejriwal�s invitation will be taken after consultation with Tiwari. In January, Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta had alleged that AAP leaders and workers �misbehaved� with members of a BJP delegation at Kejriwal�s residence when they had gone there to discuss about relief to traders hit by the sealing drive. A case was registered in the matter and some AAP MLAs were booked. The sealing drive was undertaken by the municipal corporations of the national capital on the directions of a Supreme Court-appointed committee in December last year. Under the drive, hundreds of commercial establishments have been sealed so far for non-payment of conversion charges and violation of Delhi Master Plan.
