Mr. Venkaiah Naidu
Minister of Urban Development of India
Nirman Bhawan
New Delhi
Dear Sir,
Greetings from Dwarka Forum!
It was indeed a pleasure meeting you and discussing Dwarka Issues with you in Airport Express Metro on
February 9th
morning and again today! It was indeed great to know that you are a regular commuter of
Airport Express Metro Train.
As I had discussed with you, please find enclosed a power point presentation – detailing Issues relating to
Dwarka. A few salient points are mentioned below.
1. Smart City
The smart cities should be able to provide good infrastructure such as water, sanitation, reliable utility
services, health care; attract investments; transparent processes that make it easy to run a commercial
activities; simple and on line processes for obtaining approvals, and various citizen centric services to make
citizens feel safe and happy.
Dwarka was developed as a “Smart City”. Unfortunately, despite possessing the entire above highlighted
infrastructure there are huge challenges faced by the residents as the citizen centric facilities are not interlinked
and at every step we have had to fight for the basic facility! You will see from below illustrations why we say so.
2. Maintenance of Master Plan Sub-City:
 The Dwarka boast of wide roads and Service lanes, Drains, Pedestrian paths. These are not
maintained properly and timely. Rs. 30 crore allotted 3 years back for Dense carpeting, which got utilised
now…the condition and quality of relaid roads are already withering away. We have already raised
this issue with DDA. Would appreciate your looking into the matter of quality of roads.
 The pedestrian paths are not designed as per latest UTTIPEC guidelines
 The maintenance of DDA Pocket Flats is pathetic condition especially exteriors & falling balconies.
 Not a single HAF (Housing Area Facility) Developed by DDA till date. The vacant lands are prone to
encroachments.

3. Entry / Exit Points
 All 3 ENTRY/EXIT points namely Sector 21, Palam and Dabri Mode are congested beyond
imagination and the residents are having a e horrifying time dealing with traffic.
 Internal Roads – To construct roundabouts rather than have more Red lights!
Dwarka Demands:
In consultation with MuD/UTTIPEC /PWD to improve connectivity by:
 Opening up of a tunnel road to IGI- T3 (from Shahbad Muhmadpur Railway Station)
 Create a new ROB over Palam Railway Crossing or widen the existing Palam-Dwarka Fly over
 Speed up the acquiring and completion of Dwarka Express Way connecting to Northern Peripheral Way
to Gurgaon/Manesar.
4. Master Plan of Dwarka:
a. Planning and Implementation failures.
b. Pre habitation facilities lacking:
 No Vegetable/Fruits Markets till date
 Delay in Community Halls Projects by DDA while SDMC build two
 Progress on District Centre
 The Service Sector 20 is converted to Commercial use and NO SERVICE related usage till date allotted.
c. Parking Issues:
 The ECS (Equal Car Space per 100 Sq Mtr)– Parking are not available in LSC , Sector markets and
Institutional areas. The local JE/AE/EE to prepare a list of buildings in Dwarka and submit the same to
hierarchy for not keeping ECS.
 Multi Level parking project to be implemented for Sector 6/10, 4/5/11/12 markets
 The LSC Private buildings reserved basement parking are not open to public. Till the same is not opened
ask Building department to seal those malls.
d. Incomplete Projects:
 Bharat Vandana Park- No sign of implementation- Only a boundary wall and remaining area handed over
to DMRC for construction.
 Uncompleted Roads connecting various parts especially sector 24,25,26 and Dwarka-Palam Vihar
Expressway.
 Convention Centre with DLF cancelled, what is the status.
