Will boycott parliament election if our demand for Metro rail extension till Narela is not met forthwith
Rithala Barwala-Bawana-Narela Metro Route Sangharsh Samiti, Narela Delhi organized a meeting in support of their long pending demand for providing metro rail network in Barwala, Bawana, Narela area at Sanatan Dharma Mandir, Punjabi Colony, Narela.
In this meeting, all the major social, RWA, religious, commercial, cultural, Delhi Model Original Rural Society of Barwala, Narela, Bawana, Puth Khurd, Prahladpur Bangar, Bawana, Bawana Industrial Area, Rohini Sector-24, 25,35,36 and hundreds of representatives from Barwala, Delhi Panchayat Sangh etc actively participated.
All the representatives present in the meeting expressed their strong indignation and deep concern over the unjust and step-motherly treatment being meted out to the residents and the continuous neglect of the villagers. All the speakers warned the Central and Delhi governments and administration in one voice that they won’t vote them if their demand is not met forth with.
If there is no metro till Narela, then there will be no votes in 2024 Lok Sabha elections warned the protesters.
The boycott of the Lok Sabha elections will also be considered. Educationist Dayanand Vats, a senior member of Rithala Barwala Bawana Narela Metro Route Sangharsh Samiti, has tweeted about this to Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that if there is no Metro, then there is no vote.
Educationist Dayanand Vats, a senior member of the Sangharsh Samiti, said in his address that we have been waiting for the metro for the last 23 years.
Can’t wait any longer said Vats.
Annoyed Vats said that Union Urban Development Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and officials of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation are engaged in tarnishing the clean image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by not implementing this long pending project.
Even in nine years of independence, Amrutlal, Mr. Hardeep Singh Puri and Delhi Metro officials failed to clear Metro up to Narela said Vats. .
The Sangharsh Samitee members said that for the last 23 years, including Modi ji’s nine years, only paper assurances are being given to bring Metro up to Narela and even after such a long relentless struggle their grievance was not heard n implemented. Narela Metro has not yet been approved by the government said members of Sangharsh samittee adding that we have also met Prime Minister’s Office, Urban Development Minister, Regional MP Hansraj Hans Raj , BJP State President Virendra Sachdeva and submitted memorandum to all of them but of no avail.
Mr Vats, journalist and activist said that instead of implementing our most genuine demand the public is being confused every time.
Vats said that the Metro Sangharsh Samiti observed a mass fast on July 9, 2023 in Narela. A day later, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation said in a press release that the Narela Metro line would be extended to Nathupur via Kundli in Haryana. On the one hand Metro department says this and on the other hand Metro sends a letter to Sangharsh Samiti telling that the government has not yet approved Narela Metro. The work will start as soon as the approval is received is their stereotype reply says annoyed Vats. .
Vats said that for the last 23 years the Delhi Government, the Central Government and the Delhi Metro Administration are not ready to tell when the Narela Metro will be approved. And if the approval is not being given then what is the reason for that he asked.
DDA officials, on the condition of anonymity, said that this new announcement has been made by DDA to sell its housing scheme in Narela. Now there is no sign of metro here. Due to this there is a lot of anger among the people of Barwala, Bawana, Narela area said Vats.
The protesting Women, students and villagers present in the meeting catagorically said that now it is too much and will not tolerate the injustice being done to us any more but will instead boycott the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
