It looks as PARWA EC has not taken any notice of my advice. On October 8, 2010 again a DG set without acoustic enclosure was allowed to be used in a function organized in Central Park of Pragati Apartments. When I went there at about 7 PM, the DG set was ON and it was making hell of a noise. I feel pity on the residents living in flats across the road.

I wonder why PARWA EC has not introduced a condition that any resident using parks or other space in the apartments for any function will ensure that resident/tentwala do not used a DG set without acoustic enclosure. This condition can be easily printed in the application form which residents are required to fill for allowing them to use the parks and other spaces for organizing any function. A designated PARWA EC member can then monitor that all conditions are complied with.

PARWA is a representative body of all residents of Pragati Apartments. The residents should not be put in a situation where PARWA and its members are found violating any law just because PARWA EC has not acted wisely and according to law.

क्या पार्वा कार्यकारिणी जानती है कि यह गैरकानूनी है?

इस सम्बन्ध में दिल्ली के उप-राज्यपाल ने जो आदेश जारी किया है, पार्वा कार्यकारिणी और प्रगति अपार्टमेंट्स के निवासियों को जानना आवश्यक है. इसके लिए मैं उस आदेश को यहाँ पोस्ट कर रहा हूँ. किसी को भी इस कानून का उल्लंघन नहीं करनाचाहिए.
