Doon residents, troubled by the incomplete and crippled plans of Smart City, will prepare their public manifesto
Frustrated with the incomplete activities of Smart City Doon and MDDA, a brainstorming session was organized at Nemi Road in the context of implementing the action plan taken on the basis of the suggestions of the representatives of the social organizations who participated in the recent Jan Samvad organized by the Sanyukta Nagarik Sangathan. It was decided to soon release the people’s manifesto of Doon residents.
For this, a coordination committee was also formed which will also be expanded.
After collecting suggestions from the people of Doon on the public manifesto, it will be handed over to the government administration officials and public representatives for its implementation.
There will also be a demand to ensure participation of social organizations in development works.
A large scale awareness campaign will be conducted to get the consent of the common people in the public manifesto and their signatures will also be obtained.
In the meeting, discussions were held on the works of smart city, jams on the roads everywhere, encroachment spread in the city and the problems faced by the common people, multi-storey buildings being built in the middle of the city which are creating concrete jungles like mushroom day by day, cutting of trees in large numbers. Anger was also expressed over the environmental damage, plight of half-finished footpaths, serious damage to trees and plants turned into ashes in the parade ground, dense population in Doon and lack of public facilities, broken water, electricity and sewerage systems.
The coordination committee formed for the preparation of the public manifesto and the demands related to public interest included Brigadier, KG Behl, Padma Shri Doctor Ravi Chopra, Anoop Nautiyal, Sushil Tyagi, Jagmohan Mendiratta, Jaya Singh, Ira Chauhan, Devendrapal Singh Monty, Pradeep Kukreti, Jitendra Anthwal, Anil Jaggi, Dinesh Bhandari, Jasbir Singh Renotra, Jitendra Didona, Deepak Nagalia, Lt.
