[rti4empowerment] Fwd: [CIVIC SENSE AND WE] Corrupt and inefficient MMRDA and MCGM/ BMC

 



Alok Tholiya All these projects were to come up at less then half the cost 20 years back. But the congress govt and corrupt inefficient bureaucrats denied us those facilities . And most of these projects hv major defects. Say flyover above Milan subway land just before S V Rd signal causing traffic jam, for taking newly built way to Sahar airport u hv to b on flyover of airport, then SCLR was to b over 10 years back at 25% cost and still it has several issues. Same was planned from Santacruz E West originally but because a class of voters staying in Golibar got the plans modified, whole of Vidya nagari rd is infested by congress voters causing jam on that rd and on SCLR. Mr Fredrick take some snaps of condition just before LBS marg junction of the car thieves market.

Sub.: RTI users' victimization by Uttar Pradesh State Information
Commission & state police: Cases of Murder of transparency &
accountability and blatant violation of Human Rights in Uttar Pradesh
: Request to initiate a probe and punish all offenders and help us
bloom transparency & accountability to curb corruption in public life.

I Got copy of FIR filed against RTI user Ashok Kumar Goyal, a sober
and fragile man in his sixties. I have personally seen Goyal, a RTI
user and so I have every reason to blame the deteriorating law & order
situation in Uttar Pradesh on inefficient and sycophant police
personnel like Kamla Kant Tripathi who despite being a sub-inspector
of U. P. Police that too in the presence of 5 other staff including
Information Commissioner Arvind Singh Bisht & his GUNNER failed to
handle a lone, unarmed senior citizen with a lean & thin built who
even failed to snatch the arm of Tripathiji. Imagine what would happen
if a group of hardcore criminals reach UPSIC with bad intention? How
will Kamla Kant Tripathi like police personnel and alike gunners
handle the situation then? So in my view they are not fit to be in
police force and should be shunted out of police force at once or
security of UPSIC or of place where they are deputed shall always be
at risk.

The text of FIR suggests that God has gifted Kamla Kant Tripathi the
most sensitive ears on earth and that's why he was able to hear the
discussion going on in the room behind one after another i.e. two
doors from the corridor where Tripathi was said to be standing. It May
be in national interest if Government of India should utilize this
quality of Kamla Kant Tripathi for spying against our enemy nations
and make him a master trainer for this art.

When Tripathi utters UPSIC as a court of law, I can't help
appreciating the biased attitude of Kamla Kant Tripathi which is the
same as of our information commissioners because when it comes to
victimize the info seekers, they all knew it that UPSIC is a court of
law but they forget it when info-seeker reminds this to them to invoke
it against PIOs. Our information commissioners have never used powers
of a court of law against any of the respondents. This doesn't mean
they have never used it against info-seekers. Many a times UPSIC had
sent contempt of court notices ( U/S 345 CrPc read with section 228
of IPC ) to info seekers. May be a fair inquiry would establish that
UPSIC was very much responsible for the recent murder of RTI user
Mangat Singh Tyagi of Hapur. Ashok Kumar Goyal , me or some other RTI
user may be the next target of corrupt system of
bureaucracy-politician-Info commissioner nexus of Uttar Pradesh.

Its very very surprising that on one hand Sub Inspector Kamla Kant
termed the acts of RTI user senior citizen Goyal as spreading terror
meaning thereby that Goyal happened to be a terrorist to him but said
Sub Inspector alongwith Gunner Avinash Tiwari & other staff including
Bishtji failed to overpower this unarmed senior citizen and
immediately hand him over to police. Unarmed Goyal not only easily
left the premises of UPSIC but reached his home also. Don't you agree
that such useless sub inspector and gunner be immediately removed
from government duties or else the precious lives of our learned
info-commissioners or citizens of U.P. are at great stake.

The incident took place at 2 PM but it took good 6 & a half Hours to
cover a short distance of two kilometers that too in the posh
Hazratganj area of state capital with ample transport facility. I bet
that in 6 & a half Hours I shall make a snail or tortoise reach
Hazratganj Thana from UPSIC but Kamlakant failed to do so. Now I can
easily understand the deteriorating law & order situation in Uttar
Pradesh. Earlier I was blaming it on Goondaraaj of Samajwaadi Party
but now I can understand that this is because of police personnel like
Kamlakant who are actually responsible for deteriorating law & order
situation in Uttar Pradesh. After elections Akhilesh led Government
should initiate a drive to investigate all those police personnel who
work at snail-pace err………… at Kamla-Kant-Tripathi-Pace and shunt them
out of job because they are doing no good to the system but eroding
our hard earned money, being paid to them as salary.

Casting a glance at medical examination report of Goyal, issued by
Civil Hospital of Lucknow makes me shiver to see the apathy of Police
department towards human rights of a common man. Many a times I have
seen the same police keeping hardcore criminals in hospitals just to
provide them ample time to dilute the wrath of law towards them but in
this case senior citizen Goyal, with blood pressure 174/96 and who was
referred to ICCU for expert opinion was not left at hospital but was
at Hazratganj police station lock-up and later in court of CJM
Lucknow. I don't have courage to comment on CJM court but I want to
bring this to your kind notice that CJM, though first passed order of
grant of bail to Goyal on 25-04-14 but later denied the same and Goyal
was sent to jail. Goyal could get bail on 26-04-14 that too after
active intervention of rights' activists and media personnel.
Shouldn't police station officer of Hazratganj police station be
punished for this blatant violation of Human rights of a senior
citizen.

I don't know about 7 criminal law amendment but am sure that though
none of the crimes as reported in FIR attract punishment of more than
7 years but despite this police arrested Goyal from his residence in
the middle of the night. Its surprising that police sub inspector
Kamla kant tripathi took 6 hours and 30 minutes to cover 2 Kms to file
FIR but Hazratganj police reached Goyal's residence at Scotland Yard's
pace. Nice example of appeasement of Political masters by U.P. police
for personal gains. Should't this be thoroughly probed as to why
police altogether acted differently? Yes this has to be, so please
get this probed.

Section 4(1)(d) of RTI act mandates every public authority to provide
reasons for its administrative or quasi judicial decisions to affected
persons but its strange that Bisht,( said to be) a noted journalist (
I doubt if he really was a journalist at heart) and ( said to be ) one
of the custodians of RTI act in U.P., Bisht himself fails to comply
this section of RTI act and adjourns hearings without providing any
reasons of such adjournments to the info-seeker who comes all the way
from far off place of U.P. that too at his/her own cost. Without any
specific reasons cited for such adjournments, I have every reason to
doubt that Arvind Singh Bisht announces these adjournments either for
playing his favorite online game or lottery or movie on internet or
may be for striking money deals with PIOs to let them go scot free
without providing corruption related information. Had Bishtji provided
reasons for adjournments, such apprehensions might not be there.

Though I know that Arvind Singh Bisht is a Kin to my Chief Minister
but I am risking my life to blame him as being a habitual late comer
to UPSIC and thus causing damage to the public resources, breaching
the contract of full day work despite taking full salary and
obstructing the government work ( read public work ) assigned to him.
Will any authority in India shall ever probe this on the basis of
location of his mobile on all working days at UPSIC? If not then its
better government should bring an ordinance to stop such
info-commissioners from holding hearings at UPSIC while paying all
parts of salary,perks and facilities to Info commissioners err……..
such relatives and near & dears of Government and help info-seekers
come out of illusion of there being a help named RTI act or UPSIC.
And also…….. for God sake stooooooop talking against corruption
instead start taking of nurturing corruption because this is all what
they are doing. Please stop having double,triple faces.

Of course there are some Info-commissioners at UPSIC who are doing
their job to the best of their abilities and I am raising my demand
that after retirement of Chief Information Commissioner pending
regular appointment, charge of Chief Information Commissioner should
be given to the most eligible Information Commissioner to be adjudged
on the basis of evaluation report of RTI cases handled by him. Such
evaluation should necessary be done by a third party.

Scanned documents related to above can be seen/downloaded from given weblink.

Please initiate a probe and punish all offenders as named above and
help us bloom transparency & accountability to curb corruption in
public life while ensuring protection of Human rights as well.

[rti4empowerment] In Akhilesh’s Uttar Pradesh Using RTI is a CRIME : Info Commissioner gets RTI user landed in JAIL for demanding disposal of case as per act

 

Wanna feel the heat of Akhilesh's SAMAJWAAD, just File a corruption related RTI concerning any of the departments being handled by U.P. Information Commissioner Arvind Singh Bisht, expect and press for disposal of case as per RTI act and you shall surely taste the food of Lucknow jail. All this is sure to happen because Arvind Singh Bisht is no ordinary person because he is a kin of U.P.C.M. Akhilesh Yadav and also all corners of system are there ready to concoct a cock n bull story as per whims & fancies of their corrupt masters.

Today, CJM Lucknow denied bail to RTI user Ashok Kumar Goyal and sent him to jail.

Ashok kumar Goyal's only fault : He sought information from Municipal Corporation of Lucknow and wanted his case no. S1-4418/C/2013 to be disposed in accordance with provisions of RTI act 2005. I think that in today's ULTA-RAAJ of Uttar Pradesh Ashok Goyal deserved it because eroding the lands of ponds has become a constitutional right like thing of (corrupt) authorities and anybody questioning their (corrupt) acts and poking his nose to rectify the system has to meet with the same fate.

This is noteworthy to mention that the same IC is a habitual latecomer and never attends the office for full time.

After murders of RTI users in U.P. , this is something new from U.P. that I wanted to share with you all.

Since there are cameras installed in UPSIC so I am sure that unless and until UPSIC bows down to the lowest level and destroys the CCTV record, truth shall surely prevail but what about the harassment of RTI user and unethical approach of Information commissioner to implicate a RTI user falsely?

Sending this mail to you all with the demand to flood mailbox of governor of UP for a CBI inquiry of recent cases related to harassment/murders of RTI users in Uttar Pradesh.

Please help and don't let U.P. decay because a corruption free India cannot be imagined without a corruption free U.P.

[rti4empowerment] Fwd: [tenantsofsaburi] But finally the landlord ( myself and my family members) will be arrested. Pl. advise and help.

 


In Mumbai we see that due to draconian age old rent act the buildings inhabited by tenants keep falling. Actually if tenants were visionary, less greedy and maintained good relations with landlord then it was possible to maintain the building. In fact there are instances but few where tenants ignored rent act and handsomely contributed to repair the building and
are
liv
ing
 in good condition safe building
  post repairs
. In few other cases tenants cooperated in redevelopment of building and thereby they got repossession in a new modern building. 

But most other old buildings are in a ruinous condition where tenants are adamant and do not contribute / take steps to maintain the building they live by paying 6
 5
 years old rent , use the building callously, damage same by overloading, drilling, 
carrying 
 out unauthorized repairs, not plugging leakages etc . Instead of maintaining good relations with shelter provider they slap cases on him and try to hurt him more financially by making him spend his scarce resources on costly long drawn court cases. 

As most of you are aware I am co owner of two old buildings in Santacruz east, Mumbai. 

I live
on
 first floor and hv my office on ground floor in Tholiya Bhavan. Tholiya Bhavan is made of good construction material, maintained satisfactorily and though there are tenants and 
some of the
m
 are nefarious ( drunkard and doing mischief, not paying rent, misusing etc ) yet building is in good condition. 

The second building Saburi is of 1942 . The tenant Mrs Bina Chowdhuri kept filing cases on earlier landlord. In 1990 I purchased the building and immediately she filed a case on me too falsely claiming terrace etc to be tenanted to her. 

Other tenant and trespassers are not paying rent. They
were jointly  exploiting the building to best but not doing anything to maintain same. Building turned in to a ruin. 

The width and height of vakola bridge adjacent to Saburi building was incre
 
ased
thus building became low level
. On one side is a Mithi river nala. SWD
  ( storm water drain )
 adjacent to building are never cleaned with the result the ground floor of building gets flooded every year. 
 The unauthorized hotel has added load of unauthorized shade on building. Hotel has kept surroundings so bad that it has damaged the building by heavily breeding pests and rodents.

Bina Chowdhury restrained me from going to first floor and terrace 
by obtaining injunction by misrepresentation
 and she never repaired terrace. Therefore terrace started leaking and by now heavily. She never repaired the toilet blocks and passage near toilet blocks inspite of written tenancy  agreement, moral duty etc and from there heavy water leakage started to ground floor damaging the ceiling, beams and load bearing walls. 

Since such building hv been falling year after year and affecting precious life and property in the year 2013 a new act was passed where all buildings above 30 years and older are required to be surveyed and stability assessed by a BMC approved civil engineer. This is called structural audit.

In the month of Nov. 2013 we received notice to carry out structural audit of this building. The audit report says clearly that building is in falling condition. The report was submitted to H/East ward office of BMC in Dec 201
 3
.

After long wait of 4 months BMC 
ha
s sent me a notice to get the building vacated. They have added a funny demand that I prop up this building. 

My request to you is to advise me : 

1. How do I get building vacated from the tenants and trespassers? 
2. How do I get the building propped up? Can anyone suggest any agency who can do this and take the risk on their head that while propping and in near future thereafter the building will not fall? 

Pl. advise and help. 

Repercussions if building falls: 
  1. Loss of life and property of occupiers.
  2. loss of life and property of near by inhabitants. 
  3. AS we  regularly read in paper the owner of building is arrested post fall of building . Buildings fall because of old rent act, non paying tenant, police not removing trespassers, tenants neglecting the tenanted premises, tenants not cooperating for redevelopment, RBI and banks not financing landlords for redevelopment, BMC patronizing illegal work by tenant/ trespasser for a bribe,
     BMC officials
     allowing illegal hotel in property by taking huge bribe, water dept giving water to illegal hotel inspite of 
    being
    regular defaulter,
    BMC building and proposal dept taking bribe in crores for clearing new development proposal which landlord can't afford ( and only mafia and builders can afford easily)
     and so on
    like
     Courts delaying the matter for couple of decades. 
     Still all these people go scot free and ........
 the landlord 
is 
arrested. 

Pl. advise and help. 


Thanks and Regards,
Alok Tholiya,
09324225699 /   02226125699/26173203
