NEW DELHI: A 28-year-old man died while cleaning a [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/DJB-sewer-pit"]DJB sewer pit[/URL] in west Delhi's [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Dabri"]Dabri[/URL] on Friday evening. The incident comes less than a week after the death of five workers inside a sewage pipe of DLF Capital Greens in Moti Nagar. The person who had called him to clean the sewer had a panic attack after his death and was arrested after being discharged from hospital on Sunday evening. [IMG]https://static.toiimg.com/img/65834908/Master.jpg[/IMG] The victim, Anil, was not wearing any [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/safety-gear"]safety gear[/URL]. He had been handed over an old rope by the accused to go inside the sewer despite repeated warnings by another labourer who had been asked to help him. The incident took place around 7pm. Anil was a well-known cleaner on street number 3 of Dabri's Vaishali Extension. He used to advertise his services through pamphlets. Locals told police that whenever they had problems with sewage pipes or wanted a plumber they would contact Anil. The accused, Satbir Kala, had called Anil for cleaning the sewer complaining of blockage in the pipe at his house. A DJB spokesperson told TOI that this was unauthorised work. "This was an attempt to make an unauthorised connection into the sewer line. The case is being inquired into by the chief engineer (south)," he added. DCP (Dwarka) Anto Alphonse said that a case has been registered under IPC sections 304 (punishment for [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/culpable-homicide"]culpable homicide[/URL] not amounting to murder), 304A (causing death due to negligence) and under Prohibition of Employment of [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Manual-Scavengers-Act"]Manual Scavengers Act[/URL] at Dabri police station. An eyewitness, Ramesh, who was helping Anil clean the sewer, told TOI that he had been working at another site when Satbir approached him saying he would pay him if he helped Anil clean the sewer. "Since it wouldn't have taken much time and I was on a break when Satbir approached me, I thought of making extra money by assisting Anil. When I reached there, I saw Satbir tying a worn-out, old rope around Anil's waist. I asked him to get a better rope, but he refused to listen. He said that Anil had been paid for the job and I shouldn't interfere," Ramesh said. Ramesh added that he had read about the recent deaths in sewers, so wanted Anil to be cautious when he went down to clean the pipe. "Anil was down barely 30 seconds into the sewer when suddenly I felt the pipe break. I was holding it from outside. Anil screamed and I immediately alerted Satbir, but the pipe broke and he fell down the deep pit. A PCR call was made and soon police teams and fire tenders reached there to start the rescue operation," Ramesh said. Anil was pulled out and rushed to a hospital where he was declared brought dead. The victim lived with a woman and her two children. His parents had died a few years ago.

[h=1]Delhi Waqf Board to revise property rent[/h] Khan said the Waqf Board was working on rent revision as per the new lease rules that provide for 2.5 per cent of the area circle rate as annual rent for commercial and 2 per cent for residential properties.PTI | September 16, 2018, 12:17 IST [IMG]https://etimg.etb2bimg.com/photo/65827818.cms[/IMG] NEW DELHI: Under its new chairman [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/amanatullah+khan"]Amanatullah Khan[/URL], the [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/delhi+waqf+board"]Delhi Waqf Board[/URL]is gearing up to revise the rent of its properties to boost resources and undertake welfare programmes for the Muslim community in the city. Khan said the Waqf Board was working on rent revision as per the new lease rules that provide for 2.5 per cent of the area circle rate as annual rent for commercial and 2 per cent for [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/residential"]residential[/URL] properties. "The shop owners and tenants who will not pay revised rent will be asked to vacate our properties," Khan told . Rents of the Waqf Board properties scattered across the city have not been revised for many years. Khan has directed revision of the rate as per the Waqf Properties Lease (Amendment) Rules, 2014, said a senior Delhi Waqf Board official. "If the revised rent is realised the income of the Waqf Board will jump up to crores of rupees," the official said. Currently, the Delhi Waqf Board's revenue is around Rs 11 lakh per month. The Waqf Board owns over 2,000 properties, including shops in commercial areas, residential buildings, lands and graveyards across the city. The official said most of the Waqf Board properties concentrated in the Old City areas currently have meagre rent of around Rs 500-2,000 for shops and residential places. The revised rents as per new rules will earn monthly Rs 600 per square metre for commercial and Rs 180 for residential properties, he said. As per the [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/sachar+committee"]Sachar Committee[/URL] report, 2006, Delhi Waqf Board's properties were valued at over Rs 1,000 crore, the official said. The monthly income of Delhi Waqf Board, which was around Rs 7-8 lakh, had gone up to about Rs 1.25 crore per month during Khan's previous tenure in 2016.

The CSE executive director of research and advocacy was speaking about the South Delhi Municipal Corporation's September 14 green signal to the hike in one-time parking charges levied on vehicles. The civic body plans to use this hike for construction of modern parking systems. However, it remains unclear whether the move will help resolve Delhi's parking woes. The hike, once approved by the other corporations and notified by the Delhi government, will make cars more expensive. Four wheelers that were sold for up to Rs. 4 lakh will be charged Rs. 6,000 against Rs. 2,000 charged earlier. Vehicles that cost above Rs. 4 lakh, which were earlier charged Rs. 4,000, will now be charged more under different slabs. The highest slab is for vehicles that are priced over Rs. 40 lakh — they will now be charged Rs. 75,000. "If the idea is to reduce the number of vehicles on road, an environmental pollution charge can be levied. The one-time parking charge gives people the idea that once they have paid the charge they can park wherever they like," said Ms. Roychowdhury. "Parking structures in isolation are not enough. In our surveys, we have even seen multilevel parking lots which have more supply than demand. Better management of parking systems is required," she added.

[h=1]DMRC told to pay Rs 1.1 crore as conversion charges[/h] A DDA official said the land owning agency had allotted a large land parcel in Dwarka to DMRC for the construction of metro station and other purposesTNN | September 17, 2018, 16:00 IST [IMG]https://etimg.etb2bimg.com/photo/65839256.cms[/IMG] NEW [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/delhi"]DELHI[/URL]: Delhi Development Authority ([URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/dda"]DDA[/URL]) has served a show-cause notice to [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/delhi+metro"]Delhi Metro[/URL] Rail Corporation ([URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/dmrc"]DMRC[/URL]) for not paying [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/conversion+charges"]conversion charges[/URL] amounting to Rs 1,100 crore for a plot in Dwarka, which DMRC has used for [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/property+development"]property development[/URL]. A DDA official said the land owning agency had allotted a large land parcel in Dwarka to DMRC for the construction of metro station and other purposes. Of this land parcel, around three hectares was allotted for property development to DMRC. DMRC uses land in many areas for development of residential, commercial or office spaces to generate revenue. The three hectare land, which has become a bone of contention, was leased out by DMRC to a hotel, which is now operating from the area. DDA has now asked DMRC and the hotel to pay conversion charges dating back from 2008, with the total amounting to Rs 1,100 crore. "There is no issue with DMRC leasing the land allotted to it for property development, but it has not followed the proper norms while doing so and that is why they are now being asked to pay conversion charges and have been served a show-cause notice," said a senior DDA official. "We will wait for DMRC's response to plan the further course of action," he added. DMRC said that it has received a notice from DDA and has already presented its case. "The matter has already been taken up by DMRC and a suitable reply against this has been sent to DDA with all the facts," said Anuj Dayal, executive director (corporate communications), DMRC. Property development is an important component of Delhi Metro's non-fare box revenue generation. "While sanctioning Delhi Metro Phase-I project in 1996, the [URL="https://realty.economictimes.indiatimes.com/tag/union+cabinet"]Union Cabinet[/URL] had mandated that approximately 7% of the initial project cost should be generated through property development on lands transferred to DMRC for the project. In addition, recurring income should be generated through property development for paying back subordinate debts, etc," a DMRC official said.

[B]Commuters on Delhi Metro's Airport line can scan QR codes to pay for rides[/B] [B]Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Sunday launched a QR code-based ticketing facility for commuters using the Airport Express Line[/B] DELHI Updated: Sep 17, 2018 02:24 IST [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/images/app-images/ht/default_author.png[/IMG] HT Correspondent Hindustan Times, New Delhi [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/rf/image_size_960x540/HT/p2/2018/09/17/Pictures/opened-public-express-january-jasjeet-airport-hindustan_6ad310de-b9f2-11e8-8eb6-2fb8491c2cf0.jpg[/IMG] Airport Express Metro Line opened today for public in New Delhi, India 22 January 2013. (HT File Photo) Metro commuters using the Airport Express Line will no longer have to stand in queues to buy tokens or worry about recharging their Metro cards. All they have to do is scan a Quick Response (QR) code on their phones at the automatic fare collection gates and proceed for the journey. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Sunday launched a QR code-based ticketing facility for commuters using the Airport Express Line. QR codes are a machine-readable two dimensional barcode, comprising an array of black and white squares, and used for storing URLs and other information. "This system of QR code-based ticketing through smart phones will enable passengers to purchase tickets using the 'Ridlr' mobile application without physically coming to the Metro station," the DMRC said. Metro officials said the system will be tested on this line and might be applied to the entire Metro system in the future if the response is good. The Ridlr app is available for download in both Android and iOS. In the app, users can register their mobile number and email ID and buy QR tickets by selecting the starting point, the destination station and the number of passengers who will travel. At a time, a maximum of six tickets can be purchased. "Once the journey details are entered, users can pay the required fare using debit or credit cards. They can also use the netbanking facility. Following a notification confirming their request, the app will display the QR code for the journey," the statement added. At exit gates, passengers will have to tap their QR codes on the panel again to end their journey. The QR code will automatically expire at the end of the day. "The sale of the QR code tickets will begin on the mobile app starting 4 am every day and will be facility will be available till 10 minutes before the last advertised train time," the official said on Sunday.

[B]DDA set to resurrect plan to make commercial hubs at Delhi Metro stations[/B] [B]After finalising the land pooling policy, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is set to try and again breathe life into its ambitious Transit Oriented Development (TOD) scheme, which has been hanging since July 2015[/B] DELHI Updated: Sep 17, 2018 02:57 IST [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/images/app-images/ht/default_author.png[/IMG] Risha Chitlangia Hindustan Times, New Delhi [IMG]https://www.hindustantimes.com/rf/image_size_960x540/HT/p2/2018/09/17/Pictures/delhi-metro-snag-gurugram_e954d8c6-b9f6-11e8-8eb6-2fb8491c2cf0.jpg[/IMG] Commuters stranded at IFFCO Chowk metro station after Delhi Metro Services was disrupted, in Gurugram, India, on Sunday, August 26, 2018.(HT File Photo) After finalising the land pooling policy, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is set to try and again breathe life into its ambitious Transit Oriented Development (TOD) scheme, which has been hanging since July 2015. The National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA), which was asked last year to review the TOD policy, has already submitted its recommendations to the land-owning agency. Setting up a nodal agency to monitor the implementation of TOD; allowing TOD implementation only on high footfall nodes (Metro stations) and defining the type of development along nodes are some of the changes recommended by the NIUA. A senior DDA official said, "We will hold discussions with NIUA on the proposed changes in the policy soon." The TOD policy, which is aimed at sustainable development around rapid transit facilities such as Metro, was notified in July 2015. It couldn't be implemented due to objections from the public against DDA regulations issued in 2016. In March 2017, the Union housing and urban affairs ministry had directed DDA to review the policy. The land-owning agency had initially approved two TOD projects at Karkardooma (spread over 30 hectares) and near Sanjay Lake (spread over 10.26 hectares) in 2014 and 2015 respectively. It had tasked the National Buildings Construction Company (NBCC) for the implementation of two projects. Work couldn't start as the policy was never finalised. [B]Recommendations[/B] In its report, NIUA has recommended some major changes in the policy. Jagan Shah, NIUA director, said TOD should be implemented along nodes (Metro stations) which have a high footfall. Under the existing policy, TOD development can happen around any Metro station irrespective of footfall. "We have recommended that TOD should be allowed around nodes where footfall is high. Based on an economics rationale, for the initial rollout, we have defined a threshold for a node to be considered for TOD," said Shah. The research body has also suggested extent of development around the nodes. It has divided the area around the node into three concentric zones based on distance. "Multi-modal integration should be fully implemented within 300m of the node. It will allow for facilities for users and higher capitalisation of the footfall within the node. Within 500m, we have suggested higher Floor Area Ratio (FAR of 400 is permitted in TOD), and mixed land use like commercial and small residential units. In 800 m, there should be appropriate street level infrastructure for pedestrians and non-motorised vehicles. Car parking will be highly restricted within the zone," he said. Keeping in mind the multiplicity of authority in Delhi, NIUA has recommended that a special agency be setup to regulate the implementation of TOD. DDA officials said it is not binding on the land-owning agency to incorporate all the NIUA recommendations. A DDA official aware of the development said there are major concerns regarding the implementation of the policy and its impact on traffic and civic amenities. The policy proposes higher FAR within 500 metres of the transit facility. "We have to assess the effect of higher FAR on the neighbouring areas and existing civic amenities; traffic generated at the new development and its movement. There is a need to do an assessment of the impact," said the official. [B]WHAT EXPERTS SAY[/B] Experts stress on the need to ensure that the civic infrastructure is able to take the increase in load due to the new developments. "The main idea behind TOD is densification along the transit corridors to promote public transport. There is a need to do development impact assessment to ensure that the existing infrastructure is not burdened," said R Srinivas, town and country planner, Town and Country Planning Organisation, an apex technical advisory body on urban and regional planning strategies. "For TOD to be a success, last-mile connectivity is crucial. Other modes of transport must be integrated with mass transit facility to provide last mile connectivity," he said. Experts say that efforts should be made to ensure that the new development doesn't put a strain on the existing infrastructure and results in displacement of people living in the area. Urban designers agree with NIUA's recommendation that TOD should be location specific. They say densification should be carefully planned. Arunava Dasgupta, head of urban design department at SPA, said: "To handle density around transit corridors/points is one of the major challenges. There is a need to rationalise the distribution of density along the mass transit corridor. Densification of already densely populated areas is not necessary as it will only add to the burden on civic infrastructure." Dasgupta was part of the initial deliberations in DDA on the TOD policy conceived by the Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning & Engineering) Centre (UTTIPEC). "Another issue we raised was about displacement of population," said Dasgupta. The real estate cost will go up manifold along the TOD corridor. NBCC had initially planned a 100-storeyed signature tower at Karkardooma and 50-60 storeyed twin towers at Sanjay Lake project along with commercial, housing and recreational facilities. "The height of the Karkardooma project had to be revised, as we didn't get necessary permissions. But it will around 50-60 storeyed," said AK Mittal, chairman-cum-managing director, NBCC. "The designs for the two projects are ready and we are doing the final study to prepare the detailed project reports. We can start the work once the revised policy is notified."
