Battle for DP, What About City?

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”…Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and in many ways was "The First American". A renowned polymath, Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. His above quote is all time great especially for planners all over the world & it shows his clarity about importance of planning. Its people like Franklin & their thoughts which has made USA a great nation on front of development of resources & infrastructure! And it’s not adhering to the quote is what made our Pune city in the sorry state which we are in!

As usual & expected courtesy our rulers or elected members or whatever we call them, we have failed as a city to even decide which DP i.e. development plan is to be finalized for the city, leave apart implement it! Recently I read in news papers about various surveys used to identify which Actress is most popular & one of the parameter was how many times her name is been printed in news media! Well on that account  DP of Pune city will out rank any actress as there isn’t been a day in last many years where I have read a news paper without the word DP in it & mostly for wrong reasons! So this indicates people & media are aware about DP yet we failed to create a pressure group on the bunch of people who thinks they are the faith deciders of this city! Rather most people now must be getting nauseated with this word yet it remains as most important thing for our city as future of our generations is tied with DP.

  

Like some epic TV serial the DP story is on for years in Pune city & now like the TV serial gets twist in the story & adds some new characters in the serial, here also the State Govt has joined the serial as a surprise character & taken over the DP! Here those who don’t understand what it means that the State Govt has taken over the DP; it mains whatever development plan or plans has been prepared by the PMC our civic body has been discarded by the State Govt & now the State Govt through town planning department will make DP of Pune city old limits. This action has been taken by State Govt stating the PMC hasn’t completed the procedure of making the said DP in given time limit & failed to finalize the DP & send to State Govt for formal approval. The State Govt version of the story is the said DP has to be send to them few months back only but repeatedly PMC has failed to do it so they had to intervene which they did! The PMC GB i.e. general body version is State Govt misused its powers & high jacked the DP & now PMC is thinking of going in court against this act of the State Govt! Rather the entire episode is being painted as one political party vs. another as in State there is different party ruling than the one in PMC! Wow, this city never stops amusing me with all such drama, sad part is never the city itself is subject of interest but it’s the benefits of the city rather from the city is proper word. As in all this process no one is interested in what’s going to happen to the city & its development, all concerned so called our rulers are having just one thing in mind that who will make the DP? Reason is simple the body which will make DP will have authority to decide use of land i.e. where to put reservation & where to make residential zone etc, in the city & even a school going boy will understand what it means! I am not a legal expert to comment whether State Govt is right or wrong in canceling the Dp’s made by PMC & taking the authority to itself but certainly as a common citizen of this city as well a stake holder by profession in the city’s growth I have few questions for the rulers of our city as there lies what they think about this city…

1.    When it was known that the existing DP limit was going to end in 2007, why not making of new DP started way back in 2000?

2.  Whose decision in was to make two separate DP’s for new villages & the existing city

3.  What checks where applied that land under reservations shown in 1987 DP has been acquired & being used for the purpose they have been reserved?

4.  Why there wasn’t any cell or department which was set strictly for implementation of DP?

5.  Who from the elected members were keeping track of making of new DP & why it has been stretched to the end limit of the submission date to the State Govt?

6.  While making of the DP why it wasn’t periodically discussed amongst the elected members so whatever their suggestions they are raising now would have been taken care already?

7.  What is actual scene of DP? What was its man date supposed to follow & why they were not followed? Who is responsible from the rulers for this ?

8.  There was a split between technical committees appointed for hearing suggestions objections on the DP & what is actual outcome as common man only reads in news paper, so what’s the truth?

9.  How the city was getting developed when the existing DP has been supposed to end in way back 2007? What about its implementation ward wise? What system our rulers had in place for implementation of the DP?

10. What is fate of the city now with literally no DP in place for time being & till what time this situation will be there & what about the development of the city during this period?

I think citizens deserve answers to all these questions & many such, I have just listed whatever came to my mind but situation is very grave as people have invested millions in land & all their investments depends on the policies as well rules. Rather this is perfect scene for illegal constructions as no rules in existence & then all our past & present rulers have always been in favor of regularizing every square inch of illegal construction. Had there been no courts I think the whole city by now would have become a big fat slum! What worries me most is the way entire DP matter has been handled by the city party bosses! What all these people were doing last twenty eight years i.e. from 1987 when the so called existing DP came in ruling & in 2015 when State Govt takes it away they claim there isn’t any delay! By me the new DP should have started right from 1987 & the process should have been complete by 2006, that’s what called planning! As we have had experience of DP mess from the making of DP of acquired villages, that process also lingered for years & still major decisions like BDP i.e. bio diversity parks are yet hanging & slums are covering these so called BDP lands! Same is with hundreds of amenity spaces which have been acquired by PMC but are lying vacant & soon will be becoming new slums or encroachment joints which later will be regularized! Leave apart the infrastructure development in for of all other reservations like water reservoirs & many. It’s a shame that even after included in PMC for more than ten years & when the builders have paid their all premiums to the PMC for thousands of projects & it’s residents paying their property taxes yet there is no water in pipe lines even in elite suburbs like baner & balewadi; don’t even ask about other services like roads, gardens or drainage & the scene is common around all the suburbs! Another news was about allegation made by an elected members that nearly fifteen thousand flats which PMC has received for developing economically weaker section reservations has been laying vacant & being misused! No ruler is interested in giving these affordable homes which are in hand to the needy citizens but they want the DP in their control! What’s point in making DP’s when we can’t implement it!

Looking at the mess every DP in the end becomes & it’s happening with all major Municipal Corporations as the city rulers have their interests on agenda than the city’s; what I want to suggest why not like planning commission, the State Govt forms a DP commission & let it full time work of DP’s & they only will prepare & finalize the DPs leaving no wasted interest for any local body or authority. This commission can hire local officers at their need for particular city for detailing & they will be governed by Chief Minister level & answerable to produce their outcome periodically & not just wait for end date of any DP! Also this should be ever going process & we can hire best of the town planners as well architects on this commission so their vision & knowledge can come handy for making cities better than what we are doing with our age old town planning concepts. We don’t pay any attention to social, sports as well recreational facilities like public parks which are very essential for a healthy society. All our target zones are for roads, gardens &hospitals & schools, though those are also not enough in numbers is a fact. Once such DP is made by this commission then it will be handed to the concerned local bodies & they will execute it accordingly.

As I always say, affordable homes means good & effective infrastructure & developers can’t provide it! But right from media too Govt hold developers responsible for the prices of the flats where as the Govt can’t even a make DP of a city in time & execute it which is the key to affordable homes! Urbanization is reality & it’s like a growing kid which keeps on increasing in size with every passing day. And its growth is not going to stop for any DP; so how we want this kid get developed depends on our approach to this growth or else we will have a man out of a kid but without any developed brain & with all sorts of illness which will be burden & not asset for us!!

Bureaucracy, Aristocracy & Democracy!

If you're going to sin, sin against God, not the bureaucracy; God will forgive you but the bureaucracy won't….Hyman Rickover

Hyman George Rickover, also known as the "Father of the Nuclear Navy", was a United States Navy Admiral who directed the original development of naval nuclear propulsion and controlled its operations for three decades as director of Naval Reactors. And many of my friends who are good bureaucrats must be smiling to themselves after reading the quote though on face they will show their displeasure. Yet the facts remains as what Hyman has said is every common man’s opinion about the bureaucrats i.e. we call govt servants! Many from the govt service won’t agree to this yet when you look at the applications came for the class four posts in govt service may it be a  peon i.e. “chaprasi” or even a forest guard, there are candidates which are post graduates, then one need to believe that there is something magical in govt service! Mainly two things one is assured salary & another is even the gods can't remove you from the job however way you perform!  These two things give a govt servant the present attitude i.e. they are untouchable to common man. And another major aspect is monopoly in most of the day to day matters involved with common man’s life. For e.g. if I want to get my projects plan sanction there is none other than PMC who can do it or if I have to make my land NA i.e. non agriculture then only Collector can do it or if I want a electric connection then except MSEB no one else can do it or may it be a driving license then I have to get it done through the RTO last but least even I have to transfer a piece of land on others name then only Talathi who is lowest rank of the revenue can do it.  Leave apart these entire things, even if I want to registrar sale of my property or marriage registration I have to get it done only via govt registrar! And the list of such works is unending & may it be a school teacher or a millionaire businessman each of them has to surrender in front of some govt representative which we call as a bureaucrat! Agreed all these are supposed to be giving service to common man but ask that common man is he happy with the service from bureaucrats? This is because of the British system where the purpose of giving security to govt servants is they can perform without any fear or interference & serve to the public. But unfortunately after British left somewhere this basic aim of giving security to the govt servants got lost & now what remains is an attitude that a bureaucrat is above the god & whatever he or she does is the final word!

This was going fine till last two decades i.e. up to 1990 & the bureaucracy ruled may it be Country level, State level or even Taluka level but then some where the so called aristocrats i.e. people’s representatives came in to picture. These are elected members who have been chosen by the people & they too come in many forms i.e. from MP to MLA to Corporators of local bodies. Slowly this specie realized that the so called bureaucrats are supposed to be servants of the public & they conveniently took that we are elected by the public so we are public! Nothing wrong again as that’s what an ideal democracy is for; on one side bureaucrats will be doing their administrative role & aristocrats keeping control on them that they are on right track & all this for the interest of the end user i.e. the common man!

For those who will be confused about the zest of this write-up, well recently I read very interesting news regarding a case in our beloved Pune city. I won't go in to the details of the case as that’s not the essence of our sharing. It’s about one of the buildings of which some floors have been illegally constructed & now it comes in to light that the institute who has been owner of the building has done it without any sanction & started use of these floors. Obviously as usual what happens in such matters that now everyone is pointing towards everyone & trying to justify how their department isn’t related to all this illegalities. But again as per the unwritten rules in bureaucracy, “for every mistake there is a scapegoat! So keeping in tune with this rule inquiry has made by the senior officers of PMC & outcome is few of the junior engineers has been suspended (not removed) from the service & few others promotions has been stopped. On prima fascia this seems usual to any common man as a crime has happened so someone has to be responsible from the system whose job was to check that crime before it happened & the one who failed in doing so needs to be punished & so he or they has been punished! Here is where the whole matter took a different turn as when a bureaucrat or few of them have been punished then the hell broke loose as how this can happen! The self proclaimed untouchables getting under guillotine! Its not done & the news was in this context only. That so called associations of all such bureaucrats gathered together & they have appealed to media as well to their bosses that they are not guilty but the aristocrats i.e. the elected members who pressurized them to ignore the illegality of the said building are the real guilty & they too should be punished!

Wow that’s real cute of our bureaucrats that now they are feeling some species can pressurize them & they are not untouchable after all! Again the common man will say what new in this? Rather this time the particular matter has come in open so these two i.e. elected members & govt servants are pointing towards each other but then who has stopped the bureaucrats to take the names of the elected members which has been pressurizing them to ignore the illegality of the building? Had this case hasn’t came in lime light & few of the officers not been punished then would these people have made such allegations? So many illegalities are happening around us all the time is it every time the bureaucracy is pressurized so they are not taking any action? Last monsoon two people lost their lives due to electric current got on the water which has been clogged on a suburban road in Pune. As usual inquiry has been set but nothing, no mseb officer has been known to punished neither those who allowed water clogging as every year millions of rupees has been spent on rain water arrangements yet every year the water get clogged all around the city! The new roads get dug & many accidents happen, who is at blame for public money getting wasted? The Mumbai-Bangalore bypass has no service road which is mandatory & each day thousands of two wheeler commuters’ travels over it under the threat of death due to accident from heavy vehicles; so who is pressurizing the so called bureaucrats from making the service road? What about all the legal works which needs to be taken care but are being ignored, why they need pressure for these? This is very easy stand that ignore the illegality as per our convenience & when get caught then point the finger to the elected members as under their pressure we ignored it!

Not that the claim isn’t true, so called representatives of the people too are known for indulging in all such sorts of acts but then they are for people, aren’t they? They will think that whatever public wants give them may it be regularizing illegal construction of may it be hawkers blocking the street, they know only one thing deliver what public want! And we are a country where self interest is above everything so every law is a hurdle for us!  So our elected members never pressurize the govt servant for good things which are largely in public interest but only where some ones individual interest is at stake! Look at another case about road cutting for MSEB power cables in city, when the administration has allowed mseb power cables to lay at reduced rates as its essential service to the society. Here all the elected members came together & stayed this decision, making road digging for power cables a costly affair; for which citizen only have to pay more! Many such examples are there, where bureaucrats or aristocrats individually taken stand against each other’s when its public interest at stake against their own interest & putting a show of being rivals. But when its personal interest then they immediately gets along forgetting their rivalry! Many of my friends who came from both the categories & may not like this sharing but what I have put forward is what people think & feel & nothing personal. As the profession I am in is also not being spoken with high regards, yet I have to accept it as my opinion need not be the fact or what society thinks!

Coming back to sustain the pressure from elected members, this is why the bureaucrats has been given security by the system so they shouldn’t succumb for doing wrong things even if coming from representatives of the people but seems they conveniently forget this security when its order or call it as a request from elected members! And why not as right from the promotions too transfer at so called cream postings everything is under control under the aristocrats, so it’s in benefit of both to watch each other’s back unless some fool opens up a scam like above news & the partnership gets broken between the both categories!

It’s the high time the common man should realize that bureaucracy & aristocracy i.e. govt servants & our elected members are two sides of one coin; a coin which is supposed to be act as a currency to make our lives comfortable but unfortunately it’s been working for each others interest & at cost of us only!

The news which made me write this sharing went unnoticed & by now must have forgotten from the memories of even those few who read it but it is an eye opener! It showed true face of these untouchables that yes they too can get pressurized even for wrong things, so why not pressurize them for doing right things! And the persons who can pressurize them are none other than our own elected members, so now it’s up to us only to understand our power or else in the nexus of bureaucracy & aristocracy it’s you & me are getting killed. Today some unknown person is victim of their negligence & untouchable attitude, tomorrow it could be anyone from our family & then there will be too late to act! Before that lets act & pressurize these both cracy's to deliver for the purpose they exist or else the day isn’t far where the common mans i.e. democracy's existence itself will gets eliminated & for that we only will be responsible!

Smart City, Dumb City or Dead City?

“Dull, inert cities, it is true, do contain the seeds of their own destruction and little else. But lively, diverse, intense cities contain the seeds of their own regeneration, with energy enough to carry over for problems and needs outside themselves.”… Jane Jacobs

Jana Jacobs was an American-Canadian journalist, author, and activist best known for her influence on urban studies. Her influential book The Death and Life of Great American Cities argued that urban renewal did not respect the needs of most city-dwellers. And the book is all time great for those who are related to urban planning. This is one of her many quotes which describes city life in depth realistic way as well in philosophical way too!

Recently my journalist friend Barnalee who works for a city fortnight paper asked me as they have started a column which will feature common citizen’s views about his/ her surrounding problem  as citizen he/she face in day to day life. She asked whether I can write few for the said column. Well for a writer in me it’s like we say in Hindi “neki aur puch puch!” means what better chance I can have than express myself as we Punekar (after spending more than half of my life in Pune sometimes I conveniently considers myself as Punekar, though I am not one tenth yet) just love to find problems everything around us! Agreed we are to right most of the time but it’s said that a diehard Punekar can find imperfections even in perfect of the specimen! And here is someone asking me problems around my own surrounding. That way when millions are living in slums or illegal structure, with no proper water of any of public health facility or access to proper education, leave apart public transport types luxuries, I am far better placed. As I have my own home in a fairly good locality & I have my own vehicle as I need not have to depend on public transport. With my fair income I have good medical services available to me & my family & my kids go to better college for their education. Am I a happy citizen, which I should be by normal definition but, is it all? As a citizen this question I often ask to myself as what about other so many hidden hurdles in my city life that too in the city like Pune! Agreed we are much better off than many of smaller villages & towns yet the kind of taxes we pay & the outcome isn't worth! And as a citizen my duty don’t end just being happy & contended with me, myself & my family but the entire surrounding & people who are part of it also should have a better life & it’s not responsibility of just some municipal corporation but mine too! And many things can be easily taken care, it’s just as no one cares so no one does anything! And most of these problems are for entire city & not just for one locality!

Take example of the area I reside in, its central part of city off Karve road & peaceful as its close by to river & a green belt! But the green belt is being used for all sorts of purposes like marriage lawns & exhibitions & hotels, defeating the very purpose of making it green! In addition to that traffic jams due to parking of all the visitors to these places on roads & processions in high pitch volume DJ with speaker walls! Why the local body can’t ensure that the purpose for what the green belt has been reserved is being used for the same? Or else then convert it in commercial zone & then allow these uses by following the norms for parking & many others! Repeatedly the residents around have complained to all the known authorities but no response! And in addition pollution of sound as well environment due to fire crackers all the day along! This indeed is problem not for my locality but for entire city as thousands of restaurants & commercial establishments don’t have enough parking spaces or whatever is there has been encroached for other purposes & all their visitors park their vehicles on the roads which are already choked with the millions of vehicles!

Then the road from Mhatre Bridge to Rajaram Bridge is like 

Formula 1 race track, such is the attitude of people driving vehicles on here! The road is in good condition but what about the road users & their civic sense of driving! Police are there but just to check helmets or license but no speed offences ever registered! Why can’t be there speed breakers & dividers is another question I ask as at-least in last seven years seventy odd accidents has happened in this stretch yet PMC says its traffic police's call & traffic police says its PMC's job! Speed breakers is something like a laughing stock as if you see the designs then in Pune will get you all sorts of them! Some are built in such a way that one has to look for them & some are built in a way where the passer by driver is worried that not only they will break the speed but the vehicle also! And then speed breaker signage’s are rarely there so the driver himself has to look for the speed breakers & most don’t ever get judgment of the same, making speed breakers themselves a cause of accident! Yes as a citizen I consider this also as mine as well for all those who ride on the streets as a big problem!

There is a Nallah right behind my building which once used to carry rain water & had dense foliage of various plants along its beds which were home to many birds like king fisher & mainas. But it’s now has been been concertized killing all the biodiversity around & now it’s been home to mostly drainage water & garbage & pigs as well stray dogs roam here! Same is with the river which is also part of my locality & the same river flows through most of our city! The river water is so much polluted that it only attracts kites & crows & mosquitoes! Why can’t we have a clean beautiful river as Pune is blessed with longest riverfront within the city but it’s a curse to neighborhood than boon! I consider this as a problem of entire city & not just mine!

And then always over flowing garbage bins is another unwanted scene around. No timely lifting of garbage is there. You go to any part of our city & you will found heaps of garbage around the corner of any road or at any open place adjoing to the road! Every society is supposed to treat their wet garbage within their premise by vermicomposting & dry garbage only to be collected by pmc. Yet its citizen like us only who throws wet garbage also in the bins or just in open along the roads & it’s our municipal corporation only which doesn’t have any solution for the same! This is problem of my city & I too am responsible for the same!

The domestic animals like cows & buffalo's is another story as they roam all along the footpaths & cow dung can be seen all the stretch of the road, no one takes any action on the owners of these as its their responsibility to keep the footpaths clean if they use these paths for their animals!  And courtesy our rulers as they are hard paving every single inch of the roads , footpaths so there is no soil cover where this cow dung once used to get mixed with & used to get disposed of naturally! Now it remains there for days stinking & making the surrounding unhygienic. In the rains scene is far worse as the cow dung makes the surfaces of footpath so sleepery that no one dares to walk on them & poor pedestrians getting exposed to more accidents by using road area to walk. Nobody ever even addresses this issue & by me it’s a big dent to our city’s hygiene as well aesthetic & so it is a problem of my surrounding! Same is story of stray dogs because of river around they have shelter at day time along river bed & at late night & early morning these dogs roam around the DP road making life of road users miserable!  Stray dogs is a menace all around the city & no one has any solution for them is a truth. At night these dogs chase every two wheeler & poor riders have to face threat of accident to avoid the chasing dogs. No statistics is there for how many actual numbers of such stray dogs is there in city & what kinds of measures are being taken to curtail them.

Road digging is something now which seems to be part of our city life. One road is neatly paved with tarring on some day; here also while tarring or concreting no space is left around the existing trees along the road blocking all chances of water seepage around its stem which is totally wrong. And then on next day the same very same road digging starts, some time its gas pipe lines or its optical fiber lines or its MSEB’s power cables anything but a question every citizen of this city has why they can’t put whatever they want under the road before tarring it? No one has answer to this question & needless to say it’s our money which is going in that digging. After digging is finished the post road surface making is like a fraze in Marathi “bhik nako pan kutra aawar” i.e. “the medicine is worse than the disease’; such is the way they make the patch work of the damaged road. That too digging is done in single day & the repair goes on for months which become cause of again many accidents by vehicle sleeping due to dirt or excavated material which remains unprotected along the road!

Public urinals & toilets is one more problem where all are turning a blind eye! Either there are no such facilities at regular intervals & if there are then they are in such condition that even a blind, deaf & senseless person also won’t dare to use them. Rather under whose control these public toilets are maintained is a question no one answers! What I feel is all the local elected members as well officers of pmc should made compulsory to use public toilets as well lavatories under their wards or jurisdiction each day at least once, so they will know what kind of state these facilities are! There are no signages in any locality showing locations of public toilets making people use footpath or road side open spaces for their natural call, making the city dirtier! The citizen living around these public toilets are equally at fault as neither had they put pressure on the system to keep it in useable condition, nor they themselves come forward collect some money & maintain them!

My kids have never played on any open ground as there is no ground around my locality; I mean public ground which isn’t there right from deccan to kothrud. All they can play is around the side margins choked by parking of vehicles or risk their lives by playing on roads. Why can’t we have public play areas large enough to accommodate the residents of any neighborhood?  Again no answer by anyone!

The list of day to day problems in the city is endless & my brain gets tired by recollection of the problems we face yet we keep on calling ourselves Pride Punekar! DPs i.e. Development Plans are made, gets lapsed & again we make new DP’s but what about simple day to day living issues? Why we need a policy or any DP for providing clean public toilets to the people of this city? We can’t maintain the existing roads & new plan new roads or think of widening existing roads! We can’t make use of existing green belts for greening & we make new reservations for biodiversity which eventually will become new slum diversity! It’s not just one ward or some part of the city but entire city is suffering  rather bleeding is the perfect word & everybody is either blaming somebody or ignoring the bleeding as if it’s none of his business!

The media does keep on shouting on many of these problems but never consistent or is busy in showing it’s their news effect if at all some action is taken! What’s need of time is a platform where the pressure will be created & put on the concerned system & let the system perform or get punished!

On one side we are talking about becoming a smart city but the bitter fact is we are a dumb city when it comes to serving the citizen. Somewhere this dumbness is going to make pay every industry in this city, majorly the real estate! As gone are the days when people would have come to stay here considering Pune as best living option. With the reputation of a city having numbers of problems unless we accept reality & start working to remove the flaws we will be dead city soon from the dumb city status! But then looking at the approach of the citizen we may be alive as our heart is beating but seems our senses & mind has become dead towards our city! As we call us Oxford of East but here half of the city population even doesn’t come out of their homes to serve their basic right to vote; no wonder we will soon have a dead city as that’s what dead bodies deserve!
