<\/em>Well, being a recent resident of DWARKA [shifted only a few months back], I have been reading with great admiration & interest the mails about poor civic conditions of Dwarka & various suggestions to improve the same,being exchanged almost everyday, between various residents.<\/p>\n

I must say, it is really admirable & fortunate for Dwarka to have alert residents like that & certainly, they are the big ASSETS, of this Sub-City, which is going to grow in many positive & negative ways, in the days to come?!<\/p>\n

As it is,this locality planned with great care, by DDA is showing at many many places, signs of civic distress thus causing great discomfort & inconvenience to the users of that area.<\/p>\n

And the areas are -to name a few,
Very ill-maintained under pass at Pushpanjali Farms side.
Ill maintenace of roads.traffic lights\/parks\/openspaces. <\/em>
<\/strong>Chatic conditions in markets
Poor garbage management
Encroachment in markets.
Law & order problem
Chaotic traffic.<\/strong>
<\/em>
The under pass which we all know, turned into a pond last week,causing closure of the traffic & thus causing immense misery to the daily commuters\/office-goers.<\/p>\n

Why it happened & many many questions related to it is a matter of a separate detailed discussion, but the reality is something is seriously missing in the existing drainage system.<\/p>\n

Like the drainage system,the other basic services & infrastructure requires sustainable over-haul\/maintenance.
How to go about it ,in an effective time-bound manner?<\/p>\n

Well, having been in a local civic body all my life, I feel, there is some thing more & also different, which needs to be done by Dwarka Parichay<\/a>, Dwarka Forum <\/a>& the various stakeholders-elected representatives, authorities, civil society, residents, traders, visitors etc etc.<\/p>\n

I feel all of them want improvement,but could be having some constraints.<\/p>\n

The need is to create SYNERGY for Better Dwarka, at all times.
A difficult task but achievable!?
So, let us do it.<\/div>\n
