Municipal Corporation Of Delhi (Mcd) — Regarding non-cleaning of thick layer of dust gathered on the naala-turned-park in Lajpat Nagar-III

Address: New Delhi, Delhi

To, The Commissioner, South Delhi Municipal Corporation, Lajpat Nagar-III, New Delhi. Sub.: Regarding non-cleaning of thick layer of dust gathered on the naala-turned-park in Lajpat Nagar-III in the stretch adjoining G-1, G-62, H-22, F-26, F-18 and F-17 addresses besides non removal of street garbage between G and H blocks of Lajpat Nagar-III, NEw Delhi-110024 Sir, This is to inform you that since the above said Naala was converted into a park, a thick layer of dust has gathered alongside the road which was never removed. Not only does the dust get scattered on the road, it gets into homes of people causing all types of allergies besides creating a dusty environment all over. not to mention the health of MCD street workers who are inhaling dust all the time. One normally sees MCD dust-cleaning trucks active all over our highways, I would suggest that the same be sent here too, so that all loose dust is sucked once and for all. None of the other MCD garbage removers who visit in the morning hours agree to remove the dust saying it is not their job. Pl. address this problem asap as this has been pending since the Naala was converted into a park since the last three years. Also the garbage collectors regularly dust the street (esp between G and H blocks) and collect the garbage under the cars parked outside people’s homes. They do not remove it till a conscientious citizen raises his voice over the issue and that too after 3-4 days of such pointing out. I wish to bring this to your notice so that something is done on both counts on an urgent basis. I am afraid, as citizens who are not only badly affected by this (I suffer from a medical condition called situs inverses and am particularly allergic to dust and dirt) but more as concerned citizens I would like you to address the problem asap. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, Kajal Makhijani
