crawl capital

Crawl capital is what Hindustan times calls Delhi...FINALLY

I think all r waiting for the magic mantra of metro to happen and make allt he traffic woes go away, but till then Delhi will be crawl capital. But metro is already said to be packed on SHahdra stretch, what will happen in coming times?

Politicians too busy for public

Finally it was left to people to inaugurate the flyover. Now i am eager to see that which politician is going to come forward to take the honor of inaugurating this flyover now. Who will show himself as the person who was too busy to do common man some good, give the poor commuters some relief.

Low floor buses

Finally there is a start to add good quality buses.

The private buses in Delhi are a big pain with almost no leg room, no foam on seats and rickety noisy broken windows. Now we have started to add these new buses and i feel that along with metro, it might be a convenient option in the coming 2-3 years to go in public transport. However the rate at which the buses are being added is amusingly slow..Probably now with elections almost around the corner and commonwealth games fast approaching the speed is increased.

Price for bravery

Delhi blasts braveheart wants to return medal

its sad to read such stories. Probably some of those 80 persons would come ahead to help him? Why cant he be suitably rewarded for his bravery so that others feel inspired and motivated by him..What are we missing here??

Delhi government grivience redressal

http://delhigovt.nic.in/griev_red.asp is meant to be a site or place where you can complain to CM of delhi hoping for some action. A lot good has been written on tis page. Unfortunately there is no action. I dont know why they create such website and raise people expectations when they are not going to do anything anyways....

tractor trolleys

Tractor trolleys are used for all commercial purposes in Delhi without any official permission. They dont pay commercial tax. Drivers are ill trained. They dont have brake lights. They cause so many accidents. I just hope they get banned soon in Delhi. Hope we dont need High court coming in here.

nuclear power

Seems in all the politics we are losing on nuclear power and the fuel. All politicians want the right to explode bombs..how about providing electricity to all places in India 24*7. How far is the day when electricity becomes just another thing. We forget that electricity can ever go off..like in US.

Bluelines face HC heat

Bluelines face HC heat

Why we went for the bus privatization in the first place need to be remembered. DTC buses did not stop at the stops, many buses were just out of order. Salary strikes by the employees and so on..

Why has privatization gone wrong..? There were more than enough signals. The courts and judges have woken now..but did they not see for themselves these buses driving rashly on the Delhi roads?

Now a wonderful blame game is to be played at the cost of the Delhiites...

Green cover on roads

The Janpath other roads around the Lutyens Delhi were designed more than 50 years ago. Do we have another area so beautifully planned in Delhi? Why cant we have the tree cover on roads that we have there on the other big roads?

The immense Delhi heat and the whole talk on global warming and environment protection now a days makes me wonder, what is lacking? Money? Motivation? or Brains?

Delhi and its Autos

Delhi has never had autos working on meters. There have been many raises in the fare and even the electronic meters. However nothing seems to change the fact that the auto wallahs ask for the money and many a times just plainly refuse. Another hike in the fare is proposed, will it improve anything?



I hope someone takes this to supreme court and like cars were challaned and made to follow rules and remove films etc, the auto wallahs are also fined and chalaned.



Interestingly delhi police takes the auto complaints on its website, however i am very skeptical if they actually take any action.

Road to Faridabad

The road from Delhi to Faridabad is presently choked 24/7 around the badarpur border.



Don't know if it is going to be improved ever.



Moolchand underpass is finally operational but still there is a bottleneck. It has just shifted slightly towards lajpat nagar and slightly towards South Extension.



So funny, we wait for years for the underpass to be completed to figure out that is really does not solve any problem, but just shifts the focus,,

Misery goes on for India child workers

BBC NEWS | South Asia | Misery goes on for India child workers

The problem of child labor needs more harsh rules and enforcement. I believe the humanity in us has dies when we employ and exploit these children as home servants.

But There are many families who keep domestic help children nicely and help them have decent lives. Atleast better than what they would have got in their villages and with their families..

Holy Stray cows

Coming and going from Noida everyday there are always few cows blocking the streets, some almost causing an accident. I use to wonder why the foreigners when they come to India are so anused by the cows on the roads. . These cows just should not be there...These cows cause injuries and accidents and eat rubbish and give milk which instead of being good for health is bad,,

Will the civic authorities at Noida wake some day??

CNG distribution in Delhi

CNG distribution in Delhi is the monopoly of indrapstha gas limited. Therefore the people who are used to pampering and quick service at petrol stations, just forget that. Here the staff is rude. Customer service is not the mantra for them. The customer has no other option.!!

The CNG gas has the drawback that even big cylinders they claim to carry 14 kg get filled with max 10-11 Kg of gas. That forces one to go to the filling stations often. There are many filling stations in Delhi but they have not kept pace with time and now a days there are big lines at all the stations almost throughout the day.

I hope some action is taken and CNG gets encouraged more. With the increasing petrol prices CNG becomes a better option, but if IGL does not improve its service people will be caught between the fire and the frying pan...

Why it takes so long?

Why it takes so long to construct flyovers and underpasses in delhi. The moolchand underpass has almost take 2 years. The snarlingly slow traffic jams at moolchand are a big pain.

The empire state building with about 100+ floors was completed in one month.

Think Delhi think!!!

Welcome to the Indiapost Web Site

DMRC takes private Route

The private public participation is the way to progress. I just hope that more people learn from this. MCD is the one body that i want to be privatized at earliest. It is a big roadblock to development of infra in delhi. We dont have good roads, decent parking, illegal construction....all thanks to MCD.
