Free training & consultancy has hurt someone
While I was wondering that who could have done it, I was informed that it was Mr Jai Vats, a resident of Pragati Apartments and a member of PARWA EC. Same evening it was informed by another resident also. This time I was also given a message from Mr Vats that he will not allow any such training programme in Pragati Apartments.
After hearing this, the first thought came to my mind was of Taliban, who are famous for issuing such Fatwas. I never knew that Pragati Apartments has its own Taliban and its current Fatwa is that no training programmes will be allowed in the apartments.
Till date, no body has contacted me for attending the training. I have spent more than 30 years on designing, documenting, implementing, auditing, improving and certifying these management in 200 plus companies. I wanted to share this knowledge and experience with students, employees, businesswomen residing in the apartments. These programmes will be of immense benefit to participants.
But then Taliban has raised its ugly head (sic).
For reading the notice go to my previous post.

सावधानी में ही सुरक्षा है

प्रगति अपार्टमेन्ट में लगभग हर दिन किसी न किसी फ्लेट में कोई न कोई काम चलता ही रहता है. लेकिन फ्लेट मालिक किसी प्रकाक्र की कोई सावधानी नहीं बरतते. इस से न केवल उनके परिवार के लिए बल्कि दूसरे निवासियों के लिए भी असुविधा और खतरा पैदा हो जाता है. मलवा काफी समय तक हटाया नहीं जाता इस से निवासियों को आने जाने में परेशानी होती है. काम करने के लिए जो मचान बनाया जाता है उस में लकडी की बल्लियाँ इस्तेमाल की जाती है, जो किसी प्रकार भी सुरक्षित नहीं हैं. इस में मजबूत लोहे के पाईप और छडें प्रयोग की जानी चाहिए.

भूकंप से निपटने की तैयारी

दिल्ली राज्य प्राक्रतिक आपदाओं के लिए अधोमुख है। इन आपदाओं में जीवन एवम् संपत्ति को व्यापक नुकसान पहुँचता है. आपदाओं के हानिकारक प्रभावों को कम करने के लिए एक आपदा प्रबंधन पद्धति की आवश्यकता है जो सक्रिय और व्यापक हो. यह भी जरूरी है कि नागरिकों को जरूरी जानकारी दी जाय जिस से आपदा के दौराम वह सयंम वरतते हुए आपदाओं का मुकाबला कर सकें.
जिला आपदा प्रबंधन प्राधिकरण (पश्चिम) द्वारा १५.०२.२०१२ वुधवार को एक मोक ड्रिल ( कृत्रिम अभ्यास) की जा रही है, जिस में पार्वा भी भाग लेगी.
भूकंप से निपटने के लिए तैयारी की जानकारी के लिए साथ की फोटों पर क्लिक करें.
१५.०२.२०१२ - पार्वा ने कृत्रिम अभ्यास में बस इतना ही भाग लिया कि पार्वा सचिव श्री मलिक ने सरकार द्वारा दी गई जानकारी को पढ़ कर सुना दिया. उन्होंने शायद खुद भी इसे ठीक से नहीं पढ़ा था इस लिए वह बार-बार यह कह रहे थे कि ऐसा कर के आप भूकंप को आने से रोक सकते हैं.
तथाकथित कृत्रिम अभ्यास ११.३० बजे प्रारम्भ हुआ था पर पार्वा उपाध्यक्ष श्री जोगिन्दर सिंह ११.४५ पर तशरीफ लाये. इस से यह पता लगता है कि पार्वा कार्यकारिणी इस विषय में कितनी गम्भीर है.

PARWA violates National Electrical Code
If you are not able to place it then let me tell you. It is the open enclosure near the PARWA office. It is not only a possible fire hazard, it also violates National Electrical Code of India. Such jumbling of electrical wires is not allowed. Loose wires should be put in the power socket. A proper 3-pin plug should be used. I wonder how BSES meter reader has not reported this violation to BSES.
PARWA should immediately get it corrected.

प्रगति अपार्टमेन्ट्स में विजली की चोरी
प्रेसिडेंट एवं जनरल सेक्रेटरी
प्रगति अपार्टमेन्ट्स रेजिडेंट्स वेलफेयर अशोसियेशन
पश्चिम पुरी, नई दिल्ली – ११००६३
विषय – प्रगति अपार्टमेन्ट्स में विजली की चोरी
सन्दर्भ – आपका पत्र दिनांकित ३०.०१.२०१२
महोदय,
मैं पहले भी इस विषय में अपने विचारों से आप को अवगत करा चुका हूँ पर लगता है आप लोगों ने मेरे विचारों को न समझने की कसम उठा रखी है. इस विषय में आगे बढ़ने से पहले मैं चाहूंगा कि आप मुझे निम्नांकित डाक्यूमेंट्स की प्रतिलिपियाँ उपलब्ध कराएं:
क्) पार्वा कार्यकारिणी की उन सभी मीटिंग्स के मिनिट्स जिनमें इस विषय पर विचार हुआ हो और निर्णय लिए गये होँ (उपस्थित सदस्यों के नाम सहित).
ख) पार्वा आमसभा उन सभी मीटिंग्स के मिनिट्स जिनमें इस विषय पर विचार हुआ हो और निर्णय लिए गये होँ (उपस्थित सदस्यों के नाम सहित).
ग) अगर बीएसईएस ने पार्वा को विजली की चोरी से सम्बंधित कोई नोटिस या अन्य पत्र भेजा था तब उस की प्रतिलिपि.
घ) अगर बीएसईएस ने विजली की चोरी में लिप्त पाए गये निवासियों को चोरी से सम्बंधित कोई नोटिस या अन्य पत्र भेजा था तब उस की प्रतिलिपि.
इन डाक्यूमेंट्स को पढ़ने के बाद ही मैं इस विषय में आगे कोई निर्णय ले पाऊंगा. साथ ही मैं निम्नांकित मुद्दों पर भी आप का ध्यान आकर्षित करना चाहूंगा:
क्) प्रगति अपार्टमेन्ट्स में लगता है अभी भी विजली की चोरी हो रही है. कुछ उदाहरण:
१) स्कूल की दीवार के पास, गेट संख्या ३ एवं ४ के पास जो कपडे प्रेस करने वाले बैठते हैं वह देर रात तक प्रेस करते हैं और उसके लिए विजली इस्तेमाल करते हैं. अगर इन लोगों ने बीएसईएस से विजली का कन्नेक्शन नहीं लिया है तब क्या यह विजली की चोरी नहीं है?
२) सेन्ट्रल पार्क के मुख्य द्वार पर एक पंखा लगा है जिसे गर्मियों में निवासी हवा के लिए इस्तेमाल करते हैं. अगर इस पंखे के लिए बीएसईएस से विजली का कन्नेक्शन नहीं लिया गया है तब क्या यह विजली की चोरी नहीं है?
३) द्वार संख्या २ एवं ३ पर जो बल्ब लगे हैं उन के लिए विजली कहाँ से ली जाती है? कहीं यहाँ भी विजली की चोरी तो नहीं हो रही है?
४) सेन्ट्रल पार्क में जो कार्यक्रम आयोजित किये जाते हैं उनके लिए विजली कहाँ से ली जाती है? अक्सर डीजी सेट खड़े किये जाते हैं पर उन्हें चलाया नहीं जाता. कहीं यहाँ भी तो विजली की चोरी नहीं हो रही है?
५) द्वार संख्या १ एवं २ के बीच सड़क पर लगे खम्बों पर बल्बों की जो झालर लगाई जाती हैं उन के लिए विजली कहाँ से ली जाती है? कहीं यहाँ भी तो विजली की चोरी नहीं हो रही है?
६) अभी २६ जनवरी पर आयोजित उत्सव में काफी बनाने की मशीन लगाई गई थी जिस के लिए सीधे बीएसईएस फीडर बाक्स से तार जोड़ कर विजली ली गई थी. क्या यह विजली की चोरी नहीं है?
ख) यह नहीं माना जा सकता कि पार्वा कार्यकारिणी को इस चोरी के बारे में पता नहीं है फिर भी कार्यकारिणी इस चोरी को रोकने के लिए कदम क्यों नहीं उठा रही है?
मैं एक बात फिर से स्पष्ट करना चाहूंगा कि मैंने कभी कोई विजली की चोरी नहीं की. मुझे बीएसईएस से जो भी बिल मिलते हैं मैं उन का समय से पहले भुगतान करता हूँ. मुझे बीएसीएस से कभी विजली चोरी का कोई नोटिस नहीं मिला है. मैं यह नहीं समझ पा रहा हूँ कि दूसरे निवासियों की चोरी का जुर्माना मैं क्यों भरूं. पहले ही पार्वा कार्यकारिणी मेरे सब्सक्रिप्शन से मेरी बिना इजाजत के यह जुर्माना दे चुकी है.

गणतंत्र दिवस पर विजली की चोरी
हमेशा की तरह इस बार भी गणतंत्र दिवस को आरडब्लूऐ ने विजली की चोरी की. काफी बनाने की मशीन को चलाने के लिए फीडर बाक्स में कनेक्शन जोड़ दिया गया था.
मैं यह नहीं समझ पाता हूँ कि बीएसीएस अपने फीडर बॉक्स में ताला क्यों नहीं लगाते? प्रगति अपार्टमेन्ट्स के सेन्ट्रल पार्क में अक्सर फंक्शन होते हैं, आरडब्लूऐ का दीवाली मेला, निवासियों के प्राईवेट फंक्शन, शादी, इत्यादि. सब ऐसे फंक्शन में विजली की चोरी होती है.

PARWA EC selling/renting land owned by Govt.
See what has been recorded in minutes of GB meeting held on 20.11.11:
Decision recorded at S. No. 2 - "The contribution of amount for the additional slot for the vehicles as maintenance and security charges should be continued for the welfare of the residents."
Decision recorded at S. No. 3 - "Data base for the parking slots for all the vehicles of the residents should be made available in the PARWA office."
Decision recorded at S. No. 4 - "If the vehicle for which paid slot is allotted for parking is sold, it should be surrendered to the association within 15 days for the benefit of the others."
The common land inside the apartments is not owned by PARWA. I wonder under what ownership rights PARWA can sell this land or give it on rent in the form of parking slots to residents? PARWA can not hide behind using terms such as, "maintenance and security charges". It is nothing but illegally charging parking fee. In MCD authorized parking lots also, people pay parking fee for security of their vehicle and maintenance of the parking lot including salary of personnel manning the parking lot. Here PARWA is not providing any of these services and simply charging Rs. 1500 per vehicle inside the apartments. The land outside the apartments has also been encroached by PARWA and PARWA is charging Rs. 600 per vehicle. PARWA does not do any maintenance of parking slots. It has not employed any additional security staff. How can it say that amount paid by car owners is for maintenance and security services?
Sometimes I feel that all this is the conspiracy by those residents who do not own a car or own only one car. They pay only monthly subscription but enjoy all benefits for which those residents are forced to pay who own two, three or four cars. To give benefit to these residents, PARWA as a body is indulging in illegal collection of funds and committing violation of the law.
I have been trying for long to reason with EC members but they refuse to see the logic of my arguments. Instead they have painted me as a negative person in the eyes of the residents. They have also issued a circular to defame me.
Now the time has come to make formal complaint to MCD and other concerned authorities. PARWA EC will only be responsible for any consequences.

PARWA EC Members misbehaving with residents
In GB meeting held on 20.11.11, a suggestion was given that residents should cooperate with each other and EC members to avoid conflict. A welcome suggestion indeed, but an incomplete suggestion. It should also have included that EC members should cooperate with residents to avoid conflicts. It is sad that no decision was taken on this suggestion.
Behaviour of some EC members is not good. I had a taste of it when I noticed electricity theft during Diwali Mela. I brouught it to the notice of President and secretary and requested them to stop it and instead use DG set parked outside Central Park. After some time President and a member Mr Vats came to me and started shouting. They also threatened me with dire consequences. They left saying that they will do what they like and no body can stop them. It was good that right sense prevailed and illegal connection to feeder box was disconnected and power was taken during mela from DG set.
Second time it was Mr Vats who not only misbehaved but abused and threatened me of violance in front of many members sitting in Manoranjan Kaksh (for collection of donation for Bhagwati Chowki). Mr Vats had earlier circulated a letter addressed to residents defaming me (Click to read). I had objected to it and had served a notice on Mr Vats to withdraw the letter and tender a public aploogy. A copy of this notice was also served on other members of EC as they were a party to the circulation of letter defaming me.
I am yet to receive reply to my notice. I now intend to serve a legal notice on these people through a lawyer. It is necessary that EC members should stop misbehaving and defaming those residents who are not in their group.
I have posted this complaint on PARWA website also.
Copy of notice -
"Ref: SCG/PARWA/JV/2011 Date 18 November 2011
I am a senior citizen and resident of Pragati Apartments Flat No. 315. I am also a member of Pragati Apartments Residents Welfare Association (PARWA – Regn. No. 28337). I have paid my PARWA subscription up to June 2012 for which a receipt has been issued by PARWA (No. E2770 dated 19.07.2011).
01. On 10.09.2011, a circular addressed to all the residents of Pragati Apartments, was issued by Shri Jai Vats, PARWA EC member, with mala fide and ulterior motives, in which altogether false, baseless and highly defamatory allegations have been made against me.

Minutes of GBM 20.11.11
I want to discuss following decision:
"On the basis of complaint lodged by Sh. S. C. Gupta R/O Flat no. 315, the process of election was discussed in detail whereas Sh. Gupta did not attend the GBM. It was informed to the house that the nomination of Sh. Gupta was rejected due to non payments of PARWA dues and GBM has agreed to. It was unanimously decided that the election conducted was in order as per the provisions of Bye-Laws. The present EC, should continue to do improvement works for the welfare of the residents."
My comments:
"the process of election was discussed in detail", but no details are recorded in the minutes.
It is not clear from the minutes whether my complaint was circulated to members present in the meeting. If it was not circulated then how members discussed in detail about the election process in view of my objections raised in the complaint?
How it was unanimously decided that the election conducted was in order as per the provisions of Bye-Laws when no member present was informed about the violation of the Bye-Laws raised in my complaint?
Why it was informed to the house that the my nomination was rejected due to non payments of PARWA dues and GBM has agreed to, when this issue was not raised in my complaint.
It is clear that PARWA EC has again played dirty and GB members present in the meeting were wrongly informed, they were not given full information, irrelevant issues were raised, to secure a favourable decision from GB.
I have asked EC to provide me a list of members who attended this GB meeting. I intend to write to them about this and get their views as to how they took the decision as recorded in the minutes without reading my complaint and without hearing my views? What has happened is simply undemocratic.
