Regularisation Papers For Illegal Colonies In 15 Days In Capital
By Anirudh Chturvedi, Section News
Posted on Wed Jul 02, 2008 at 09:12:35 PM EST
In a bid to expedite the regularisation of 1639 unauthorised colonies, the Sheila Dikshit Government is likely to start issuing "provisional regularisation certificate" by July 15 to those colonies, which have fulfilled pre-conditions of regularisation.
On other hand, the Delhi Government is in no hurry to take up the issue of regularisation of three posh colonies - Sainik Farm, Anant Ram Dairy and Mahendru Enclave. "The people of affluent colonies can wait for regularisation," Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit told a news agency on Tuesday.
At a meeting of unauthorised colonies, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has ordered to expedite the regularisation process and provide better civic facilities to these colonies.
"Around 40 lakhs people are living in poor condition in the unauthorised colonies and regularisation would improve basic infrastructure and hence their living standard," Dikshit reportedly said.

No Special Economic Zones ( SEZs) in Delhi :Kamat
By Riti, Section News
Posted on Wed Jul 02, 2008 at 02:08:43 AM EST
Goa Chief Minister Digamber Kamat today said that the State government did not want the controversial Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in the State.
Kamat, who met Congress President Sonia Gandhi today, said the people of the State are opposed to SEZs. "We do not want anything against the wishes of the people," he added.
All India Congress Committee General Secretary B K Hari Prasad, who is also the party in-charge of Goa, added, "The Congress is with the people of the State on the issue."
The chief minister did not specify if he discussed the SEZ issue and the accompanying political problems in the State with Sonia.
Kamat said the SEZs can come up only on land where one crop is grown. "In Goa, two crops are grown. Moreover, land is a scarce commodity in the State," he said.
The chief minister said not much work has been done on the SEZs, approved by the previous National Democratic Alliance government so far. "We will apprise the courts of our position when the matter comes
up for hearing later this month," he added.

SEZ Promoters Across the Country Feel,'If No Agri- Land Is Involved SEZ Should'nt Be Oopposed'
By Anirudh Chturvedi, Section News
Posted on Tue Jul 01, 2008 at 01:26:40 AM EST
The Special Economic Zone (SEZ) promoters across the country feel that there should not be any opposition to the industrial enclaves if there is no issue of agricultural land and if the zones are promoted in the healthy way.
"There is no reason for any opposition for SEZs if promoters want to do it in a healthy way," Parsvnath SEZ Ltd, Director S N Sharma said.
Parsvnath is India's one of the leading SEZ promoters with 17 zones under their belt, of which four are notified in Nanded, Dehra Dun, Gurgaon and Indore.
He said the major issue is of land acquisition and promoters should discourage taking over the agricultural land.
"There is already legislation banning taking over of agricultural land for SEZs. That is being followed very strictly," Sharma said.
The SEZ promoters, IT companies and representatives of Kerala government today had brainstorming sessions on the IT SEZs here in South Goa.

By Yash, Section News

No slots left in city parking lots:A Survey by RITES
By Riti, Section News
Posted on Mon Jun 30, 2008 at 10:31:05 PM EST
With over 18 lakh private vehicles and parking space to accommodate barely 25,000, the Capital is reeling under a severe parking crisis. A recent survey by RITES has revealed that Vishwavidyalaya Metro station, Old Delhi Railway station, Karol Bagh and Bahadurshah Zafar Marg to have the most congested parking lots in the city.
Even as the government is planning over 100 new parking lots and 25 multi-level parkings too to tide over the shortage of space, the survey found that the existing parking lots are bursting at their seams. At almost all the surveyed lots, including in areas like Connaught Place where the parking rates are very high, the vehicular demand is far exceeding the available space.
The most congested are parkings located at Old Delhi Railway Station where over 11 vehicles fight for each available slot, followed by Vishvavidyalaya Metro station with about the same demand, Karol Bagh, Janakpuri district centre and Kanhaiya Nagar Metro station. Office areas like Nehru Place and Bahadurshah Zafar Marg, and markets like South Extention and Vikas Marg too need immediate solutions.

Wind Energy Sector Gets A Boost After Announce A Generation-Based Incentive By Center
By Yash, Section News
Posted on Mon Jun 30, 2008 at 02:44:16 AM EST
The Centre on Friday announced generation-based incentive to promote grid interactive wind energy generation plants in the country. With this new incentive, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy hopes to give a boost to the wind sector, promote higher efficiency in wind power generation and encourage independent power producers in the sector.
Investors, apart from getting the tariff as determined by the respective state regulatory commission, will get an incentive of Rs 0.50 per unit of electricity for a period of 10 years provided they do not claim the benefit of accelerated depreciation.
Minister of new and renewable energy Vilas Muttemwar said it was the ambitious target of 10,500 MW planned for 11th Plan period that prompted his ministry to find ways to attract new and large independent power producers in wind energy sector through an alternate generation-based scheme.
He said the scheme intends providing a level playing field to those investors who were unable to absorb the benefit of accelerated depreciation in the sector. “We hope independent power producers will expose wind power industry to market forces and competitive pressures, which can result in reduction in cost of equipment,” he added.

By Riti, Section News
Posted on Mon Jun 30, 2008 at 02:13:35 AM EST
Every year the very thought of monsoon sends residents of Model Town Part II and III into a tizzy. Even after waiting for decades to get the acidic water treated from the overflowing drains, MCD has not been able to come up with any concrete plans to do the needful for residents. No matter what the local representatives may promise or the civic authorities might assure, acidic sewage continues to overflow from drains in Model Town connected with Wazirpur Industrial Area.
Right from the new Metro line coming up in the area to in-roads, the sewer condition of Model Town remains the same. "Come monsoon and the entire Model Town (mostly Part II and III) get submerged in this stinking and acidic water. Almost all the gates and footpaths of the area can be seen discoloured completely. Even the gates of my house gates have got rusted and every year to prevent it," says Satish Gupta, a resident of Model Town-II.

Residents of East Patel Nagar getting their kothis converted into flats these days
By Riti, Section News
Posted on Mon Jun 30, 2008 at 02:03:18 AM EST
If you thought that kothis are all what you expect to see in East Patel Nagar these days, then you have to prepare yourself for a different reality. The colony is now a far cry from those days when it used to boast of tall trees and beautiful gardens.
Residents staying in their kothis are getting them converted into flats now. Armeet Singh, a resident, says "I have been staying here for the past 25 years; now due to the construction of so many flats the area now looks congested." Sukhija, a builder of the area, says, "When people feel the need to have a reconstructed house or in many cases when the children stay abroad and the parents feel that it's difficult to manage the whole house it is then that they come to us. Some take two flats from us and some cash and some take only one and more of cash. In any case we have 2 or 3 flats at our disposal always."

Even after 40 years, traders are still awaiting transfer of shop-ownership rights in 15 markets under the civic agency.
After fighting a long battle for 40 years with the New Delhi Municipal Council, shopkeepers of 15 markets in areas under its jurisdiction are still awaiting ownership of shops transferred to them by the civic body. In fact, the NDMC had passed a resolution in 2000 and 2002 resolving to transfer the same.
The 15 markets include nine rehabilitation markets comprising Kidwai Nagar Market (South), Kidwai Nagar Market (Central), Netaji Nagar Market, Laxmi Bai Nagar Market, Basurkar Market, Begum Zaidi Market, Nauroji Nagar Market, Prithvi Nagar Market and Pandara Road Market and five markets built on pedestrian right of way. These comprise Janpath, Yusufzai, Panchkuian Road, Babar Road and Baird Lane. In addition, Lodhi Colony Market was also included in the list.
