Continuing with the development work in his constituency, Rajinder Nagar MLA and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) senior leader Raghav Chadha conducted a door-to-door survey of Sat Nagar along with the representatives of BSES, Delhi Jal Board, Municipal Corporations and Public Works Department and examined issues related to water supply, drainage, electricity and road network.During his visit, Chadha questioned the MCD's lackadaisical approach in resolving residents' issues despite repeated complaints.
“Half the problems of Delhi can be resolved if the MCD begins to take ownership and do its duty properly vis-a-vis, timely action when people lodge complaints. It is unfortunate that the Corporation has failed in its duty towards the people.
They have not acted on the upkeep of roads; they have not taken any steps towards proper and regular garbage disposal. Their inaction has become a major cause for concern,” he said.
During the combined development survey of Sat Nagar, WEA and 100 quarter, the Rajinder Nagar MLA came across several lanes where garbage was not collected nor had the lanes been cleaned properly. Several residents apprised their elected representative of lack of cleanliness and improper garbage disposal, which eventually becomes a major problem.
Despite their repeated complaints, the MCD had taken no action.Chadha said, “Garbage disposal comes under the purview of the MCD.
The corporation has failed to do any upkeep and maintenance of roads that also comes under its purview. Their abject failure has caused multiple problems to residents. Following this, the Rajinder Nagar MLA issued immediate directions for the affected areas to be cleaned thoroughly.
During the course of the nearly two-hour development survey, where the Rajinder Nagar MLA went door-to-door and met with residents of Sat Nagar and was apprised of various issues and has now designed a roadmap, coming up with viable solutions for extending existing water pipelines, repairing old and damaged sewer lines, ensuring residents get correct electricity bills, and resolving the water-logging issues in some blocks.
