FROM

GATES & BARRIERS

 

  1. Public roads cannot be blocked. Only MCD Commissioner can do it after giving 1 Months notice and receiving objections from residents affected. The gates & barriers were put up in C Block  Sarita Vihar on the midnight of 30 November 2001 so that the residents could not prevent their erection.
  2. Local Police has NO authority under law to construct it, hence cannot give the right, which it does not have to another who wants to construct it. So conspiring with local SHO by inviting him as Chief guest in a Association party does NOT legitimize it.
  3. It is against LAW:  MCD Act, Motor Vehicle Act, Consumer Protection Act and Delhi High Court order.
  4. It is a cognizable offence (Crime under Criminal procedure Code) to obstruct public streets.
  5. Local police conniving with the criminals and their criminal activity is proved by the SHO refusing to file the FIR.
  6. It circumvents the law in the name of security.
  7. Residents have already paid for construction of these b roads (in the capital cost of the house) and pay for their maintenance through house tax to MCD
  8. Blocking of roads or no security are not exclusive choices. One can have security with out denying the residents use of the roads.
  9. Blocking a 50 ft road entry and exit and allowing traffic through 16 feet  service lanes can only be  conceived by selfish residents who conceal the hidden agenda  to save themselves from heavy traffic in front of their own houses.
  10. Gates & barriers tend to privatize public streets, giving undue power to one person (or persons) who live on a street while depriving the rest of the neighborhood a voice
  11. Unfair to other residents who use the street and paid as much in taxes for it as those who happen to live along it.
  12. They divide neighbors and neighborhoods. Even resident homes are blocked from their own garages!
  13. They cause resident drivers to lose time, increase driving distance, pollution and cost.
  14. It confuses visitors and lose time, increase driving distance, pollution and cost
  15. Life and property may be lost in crucial times when a fire tender or ambulance or emergency vehicle is delayed.
  16. Service vehicles, commercial vehicles and school buses are prevented easy access to the points requiring their service.
  17. Old, disabled and sick are denied easy access to facilities inside the colony and easy entry and exit.
  18. This has led to favoritism, capriciousness, unfounded claims of community support and maneuvers to elude and obscure dissenting voices.
  19. All this for false Security (there is no access control) and reduced traffic in front of the houses of RWA officials!
  20. RWA instead of coordinating civic amenities of residents has become a extra constitutional authority for harassment of residents in the name of maintenance of law and order! Residents pay taxes to the state for maintenance of a police force for this purpose.

PS: Freedom is not given, it is taken. Freedom is not lost, it is given away! If residents don’t rise for SOS (Save Our Streets), they will lose their soul to fight illegality, crime against themselves and save themselves from the schemers with their hidden agendas!
