Misuse of LalDora land in Villges is not new. It has been going on for a long time. There were many polluting industrial units established
in various villages.
Land has been fully exploited in South and east of the NCT. Land parcels are available in Western Delhi and this is what AAP is eyeing.In the name of development it is not difficult to get the Gram Panchayats agree for use of Panchayat lands. traditionally these are grazing lands for animals and the correct use is forestation.
AAP is interested in keeping the vote bank happy even if it means creating more slums.
He did not fight election on development and so is not concerned.
Please keep fighting. There is no alternative.

Subject: Re: [IAC#RG] GoI's 'Safar' data exposes AAP's #ODD-EVEN flop showDear Shri Venkaramanji,
I think you have captured the essence of the issue and thank you for highlighting it.Kejriwal may showcase his good governance initiative in curbing corruption, but a faulty development vision is a much bigger danger than financial corruption.
Its now I realize that the Sheila led Congress government in Delhi was more mature. She understood the population load on Delhi and converted many community lands into city forests. There are many examples like Issapur , Mundhela, Mitrao and other villages where these lands were converted into city forests.
But, Mr. Kejriwal is just chasing land pieces all around Delhi, and want to put concrete into all community lands ( Gram sabha lands) that are still unbuilt. He is giving his go ahead to urbanize 89 villages in Delhi that are still rural, thus opening these lands for real estate. 24 lakh flats are going to be built in these fertile lands that still support agriculture. That makes it 1 crore people plus another 1 crore that would add informally in ever growing villages and unauthorized colonies.
People, almost 50%, already live in hell like conditions in Delhi with little open spaces and short of many other amenities. He should focus on providing proper quality of life to those that are existing before inviting more through such schemes.
I am wondering how he is assuming that Delhi can handle so much load.I have handed document with evidence from international studies to Kejriwal, Ashish Khaitan, Pankaj Gupta (AAP Sec'y), Kapil Mishra (Water Minister) cautioning against this mad rush for concretization of the city. I have offered them that a group of professors from Delhi University, JNU, Jamia Milia can give a presentation on appropriate development model for Delhi. But these experts do not mean anything to them. Thats what he said to me during my meeting with Kejriwal on 6th Jan, 2016.

Kejriwal's ill advised move for industrial park in Delhi
Delhi is now considered to be one of the most polluted cities in the world. Obviously, what is needed to reduce the pollution load in the city is to decongest the population to the extent possible, by launching imaginative schemes to make it attractive and possible for people to move out of Delhi.
Instead of thinking and acting on such pragmatic strategies, Kejriwal appears to be keen to promote industrial park in Rani Khera area In West Delhi, by occupying 147 acres of land to construct a huge building complex that would cost around Rs.3098 cr. for housing many offices and other commercial activities.
When concerned people met him carrying with them the signatures of 5000 citizens of Delhi opposing his move to construct industrial park and asking for construction of an eco friendly bio diversity park, Kejriwal appears to have rejected the suggestions outright and with amazing short sighteness ,he was reported to have said that he would take ultimate decision after consulting with 'Mohulla sabha'.
Certainly, it is clear now that Kejriwal is running out of ideas. His recent move for odd-even vehicle movement in Delhi is a careless step, that has yielded no results, as expected. What is required is to de congest the vehicle population in Delhi by totally denying registrations for new cars and two wheelers for another 3 years until the pollution load would diminish to acceptable level and imposing ban on old vehicles that do not have the required eco standards..
Kejriwal has targeted the cars, while the number one pollutant in Delhi is dust, number 2 bei ng trucks and number 3 being the two wheelers. He has not found any tangible solution with his odd even s cheme.
While this is so, he wants to go ahead with his industrial park plan arguing that it would promote employment and bring revenue to the state. It is surprising that Kejriwal has not understood that with employment generation that would attract more people from outside Delhi, pollution load will also further increase ,that Delhi cannot afford. Instead of trying to find solution for pollution problem, he is adding to it by launching an industrial park.
Certainly, there is strong case for the concerned citizens in Delhi who understand the grave nature of the ecological issues, to organise themselves and launch a strong campaign to ensure that Kejriwal would give up this ill advised industrial park proposal. The campaign should demand that the 147 acre of land should be converted to a bio diversity park, which can be a healthy ecological hub for Delhi city, that Delhi needs desperately.
The consequence of constructing a massive industrial park in Delhi is too serious from the ecological point of view, to be ignored. There is urgent need for vigorous public protest to save Delhi from one more step towards ecological disaster.N.S.VenkataramanNandini Voice for the Deprived

Re: [IAC#RG] GoI's 'Safar' data exposes AAP's #ODD-EVEN flop show
Dear Gaur Sahab,
We are on same wavelength. Delhi's ecological balance is going for a six with Kejriwal in power. I , rather, appreciate Sheila Dixit as she had declared some community lands as city forests. In retrospect, she seemed to be a more mature leader.
Thats the tragedy with electoral politics, elections are won on one issue, and the winning party take things for granted on all other issues.
Kejriwal is doing another drama asking public on odd even. It needs experts to devise solutions. Public is not so well informed, rather, public get carried away by rhetoric.
Odd even is a temporary relief measure, its no solution. It would, instead, increase the problem- people would try to buy another extra vehicle odd or even to circumvent it. And, once someone has settled in Delhi you have no right to curtail his freedom of movement in such a blanket ban manner.
The city's transport become dependant on private vehicle use due to urban sprawl. Public transport start becoming unviable as city expands horizontally. Many international studies exist on that. We have conveyed it to Gopal Rai, Kejriwal himself, kapil Mishra and others in his Govt. But this man can not understand all this.
He is urbanizing the remaining agricultural green belt in Delhi and going for 24 lakh flats in its place. Polluted air generated in city will not be able to disperse in time due to need for it to travel much longer distance to reach hinterland, thus making the city more polluted.
