Open Letter To Mr. Kiren Rijiju, Minister Of State (Home), Government Of India.

Foul Smell and Air Pollution In Our Residential Premises Because Of Illegal Restaurants.

Dear Sir,
9 tweets have come your way from Twitter Handle @BriefTakes between 1:21 AM and 1:32 AM on 230517. This Post is along with them.

There is a problem of foul smell and air pollution in our Delhi Development Authority Residential Flat which is caused by exhaust fumes from an illegal Restaurant 'Wah Ji Wah'. Delhi Police was told about it last year. Complaint was submitted. There is ABSOLUTELY NO ACTION by Police. See attachment in second tweet. The DD No. is 35(B), Janakpuri PS. An email was also sent to DCP, West Delhi on email id dcp-west-dl@nic.in . This is attached in the eighth tweet. Instead of action been taken on these Restaurants rather I have been physically assaulted by paid henchmen!
 
I want the Municipal Corporation Of Delhi people arrested and the Restaurants shut down. In fact, another popped up after complaint was submitted! This latest one is 'Chinese By Nature'.
Restaurants in DDA Flats are illegal. I have asked the Delhi Police to take the Municipality to court. The Municipality is prone to hoodwinking honest people. Try talking to them. They will engage in selective omissions, distractions, manipulations. When you talk keep a law person handy and you will figure in no time what I am saying. They will tell you that on a particular road width restaurants 'provision' is there. What they will not tell you is that merely a provision does not imply that Restaurant "must" come on these roads. What they will not tell you is that within their own rules restaurants in DDA Flats are illegal anyway. What they will not tell you is that there has to be a minimum distance between the exhausts of these restaurants and the nearest dwelling unit. They will simply skirt these. Another fact is that they "encourage" (!) the 'introduction of ducts or chimneys inside of shafts of DDA Residential Housing - which are actually meant for toilet and bathroom ventilation only - and that is illegal. That is forbidden by National Building Code itself. AND THEREFORE DEAR SIR YOU PLEASE ARREST THESE GOONS.

They are making a mockery of the independence given to them . They are making a mockery of the liberty given to them. They are a menace to law, they are an anathema, they are evil, they are Satans sitting, waiting for predatory acts, they are making a fool of the public. Municipal Corporation Of Delhi is itself illegalising entire Delhi. They manipulate, hoodwink, encourage inconveniences to law abiding citizens.

I can send this to the NHRC again like I did in 2011 but I hope Municipality will shed goondaism and learn some good manners.

I called 100 PCR regarding the same on the following dates and time:-
29th May 2016, 3:16 PM
6th June 2016, 9:16PM
20th June 2016, 3:00 PM
5th April 2017, 5:09 PM
5th April 2017, 6:41 PM
1st May 2017, 7:19 PM

Apart from the PCR calls, Complaint was submitted at Janakpuri Police Station on 5th June 2016 for which DD No. is 35(B) and an email was also sent to DCP, West Delhi on email id dcp-west-dl@nic.in on 10th August 2016 at 8:16AM as mentioned earlier.

Please expedite. Both the received copy of the complaint submitted to the local Police Station (image) and the email to the DCP West Delhi, Delhi Police (screenshots) are attached with this Post.

West Delhi DCP was sent an email about air pollution and foul smell

Communication sent to DCP West Delhi last year regarding air pollution, foul smell inside of home.

This is the email that was sent to the email id of DCP (Deputy Commissioner Of Police) West Delhi on 10th August 2016. Matter pertains to polluted air and foul smell inside of our residential premises here in Delhi, India.
----------------
Subject: Polluted air and smell from a Restaurant in DDA Residential Flats, Janak Puri.
From: [Name (email id)]
To: dcp-west-dl@nic.in;
Date: Wednesday, August 10, 2016 8:16 AM

The Deputy Commissioner Of Police (West Delhi),
DCP Office West Delhi,
Police Station Rajouri Garden,
Rajouri Garden,
Delhi - 110027.

Dear Sir,

Reference: Polluted air and smell from a Restaurant in DDA Residential Flats, Janak Puri.
Reference: DD No. 35 B, date 5th June 2016, Janakpuri PS.

We stay in Block C2B, Janak Puri. This is DDA Residential Housing. There is a problem of polluted air and bad smell in our house because of a Restaurant in the vicinity. The polluted air is a health hazard for us and the bad smell is a huge inconvenience for us. The polluted air will surely cause ailments, diseases. The bad smell is a huge irritation and is very agonising.

This is not the way to live. It is sad, bad, shameful that us peaceful, law abiding citizens are being tormented thus.

This problem has started from 24th May 2016. The Janak Puri Police Station had been informed about our predicament. Refer the Complaint submitted on 5th June 2016 at the Janakpuri PS. Attached find image of the same. Also find attached the Complaint text of the same in a Document file in case that is required. PCR at 100 was also informed earlier more than once. As a matter of fact, the intensity has now actually further increased from about ten days past. I have been informed that the fumes are now expelled from a Chimney or Duct within the DDA Shaft between the Flats 84 ABC and 85 ABC and this Chimney or Duct opens over the terrace. I have myself noticed that Duct. Probably that has compounded the problem.

Please get this Restaurant closed, that's it. This Restaurant is a health hazard for us. It is an inconvenience. Our Rights are being violated. Also, it is an infringement on our simple lives. I shall not mention here again what I have mentioned in the Complaint. Refer that communication. However I urge you again to impose sections or charge the MCD people also because in the first place Restaurants in DDA Flats are illegal. MCD can't open Restaurants wherever it feels like. This is DDA Residential Housing. Dear Sir, please understand that the expulsion of fumes from over the terrace or from the rear of these flats will keep causing us trouble.

In 2011-12 a similar problem was faced by us. At that time, I had written to the NHRC (National Human Rights Commission). The NHRC had sent a directive to the DCP West, Delhi Police and to the Commissioner, MCD. The point is that NHRC made it apparent or evident (or threw light to the fact) that this is indeed a Police matter.

And by the way, DDA Flat Shafts are sacrosanct in that they "cannot be intruded anywhere". Only plumbing (water supply and sewerage) pipes can come, and that too till a particular diameter. MCD knows about this. It is my suggestion to you that you personally ask an MCD person as to why this Chimney or Duct is not a violation of the Building Bye Laws (derived from the National Building Code Of India). In all probability expect a "wrong answer". There will be selective omission of facts, selective hiding of facts. Also expect manipulating and twisting facts by themselves. I say so because in 2011-12 they had provided a hoodwinking response to my grievance on their own website. This bit is additional information. Perhaps it helps somewhere. This fact (Chimney or Duct in Shaft) should be sent to the Urban Development Ministry and also the DDA. MCD is actually supposed to "make sure" that Bye Laws are being implemented and not being violated. And here, alas! MCD is itself criminalizing Delhi.

Yours faithfully,

In this email to DCP West (where you are) you find 2 attachments mentioned. The first one - photo of the stamped received back copy of the 5th June 2016 complaint submitted - one can find at https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJmLsuJ5-X5_0ST_pcl-REF3Als1y1t_ekAvSLqyehXqA_R1h_-zQGHzze_0YdW-yhMWPYsSJvLEw0qpu-I6v4TuTovjt-3Q5Cm1tVt9bXEe3YGsEcb5pEn_Z5XJnZgapKDkWAxbK1O6w/s1600/Received+Copy.jpg and also via http://www.brieftakes.blogspot.com/2016/10/message-delhi-police-attached-tweet.html . The second one - text document of the same 5th June 2016 Complaint - was also sent to DCP West, just in case, so that they can easily copy paste the Complaint text (THEY CAN EASILY COPY PASTE THE COMPLAINT TEXT).

All we want is to live in peace and with dignity.
