Subject:- (1)Appeal for controlling Heavy Vehicular Traffic from Mahatma Gandhi Marg (Ring Road) - Moti Bagh flyover crossing towards Westend enclave( Vasant Vihar / Olof Palme Marg / Vasant Enclave) via Rao Tula Ram Marg  and Major Somnath Marg VIA  9 ,12 and 8,R.K.Puram, New Delhi. and very high Pollution Levels in by the Government of  NCT of Delhi ,the Central Government and the Delhi Traffic Police.
(2).Controlling of High Levels of Pollution in the Area around Sector-9,R.K.Puram,New Delhi.

Respected Sir,

              I wish to bring to your kind notice about the problems being faced by the residents of Sector-8, 9, and 12, R.K.Puram, New Delhi due to the Heavy Vehicular Traffic and high Pollution Levels in and around 8, 9 and 12 R.K.Puram, New Delhi

While Travelling during the day from :-

(1).Mahatma Gandhi Marg (Ring Road) - Moti bagh flyover crossing towards Westend enclave( Vasant Vihar / Olof Palme Marg / Vasant Enclave) via Rao Tula Ram Marg (which is touching Sector 8, 9 and 12 , R.K. Puram, New Delhi on the one side and Shanti Niketan on the other side)                    
And

(2).From GOING OUT FROM inside the colony of Sector-9,R.K.Puram,New Delhi via Major Som Nath Marg towards Rao Tula Ram Marg, it has become very difficult for us to travel upto the Traffic Lights located at the intersection of  Rao Tula Ram Marg and Major Som Nath Marg and after nearly many stoppages of traffic lights WITHIN A SPAN OF 20 MINUTES, it becomes an unpleasant experience for us  residents of Sector  8,9 and12 R.K. Puram, New Delhi .The duration of Traffic lights at the intersection going from Som Natha Marg towards Roa Tula Ram Marg  and towards Moti Bagh crossing should be increased from 20 digit displayed to at least 50 digits for the Traffic Lights.On the spot inspection may kindly be carried out by the Delhi Police Team to ascertain the difficulties being faced by the residents of Sector-9,8 and 12 in reaching their homes.

In the morning ( from 9 AM to 11 AM) and evening time(from 5 PM to 7 PM) , the maximum Vehicle going to and coming from Gurgaon and the Delhi airport pass through these roads. i.e. nearly 75 % of the vehicles of Gurgaon  visiting Delhi on a daily pass through the area of R.K.Puram daily-near 8,9 and 12.

            As the vehicular traffic is very heavy of Cars and Big Delhi Transport Buses throughout the day, the residents who wish to travel in either direction from their residential premises in Sector-8, 9 and 12 face stiff stoppages from Cars and Big Delhi Transport Buses to come on to the main road (Major Somnath Marg) and also at the traffic lights at the intersection of Major Somnath Marg and Rao Tula Ram Marg on these roads. Nearly 15 to 20 minutes are wasted to cross the traffic lights in many stages. Unnecessary wastage of time and valuable money in the form of petrol has been the order of the day.

The Petroleum Conservation Research Association in India has been carrying out their Advertisements on TV channels and daily newspapers to save Petrol and the Environment. This unnecessary wastage of Petrol by us is leading to lots of wastage of Time and financial resources by the residents of R.K.Puram,New Delhi.

Due to large number of vehicles passing through these roads for going to and coming from Gurgaon / Delhi Airport through the intersection of Mahatama Gandhi Road near Moti BaghI ,II and Sector -9,R.K.Puram,New Delhi , the high pollution levels through-out the day is making the life of the residents of R.K.Puram very sick and the residents are in need of constant medical help to overcome the health problems being created by this heavy vehicular traffic for the residents.Nearly more than One lakh vehicles pass daily through this area around Sector-9,R.K.Puram,New Delhi  

              Even the individual sectors (including inside Roads of 9 ,8 and 12 in R.K.Puram, New Delhi area have become a thorough fare for all the vehicles coming from and going towards Gurgaon / Delhi Airport. To travel faster towards Gurgaon / Delhi Airport and back, these vehicles pass through these sectors in between the residential areas at a very fast speed, thus also endangering the life of the residents in the process. Due to this the area is becoming very high accident prone.

News: Real-time PM2.5 Air Quality data from the US embassy in India is now avaiable for 5 cities:
New Delhi (US Embassy), Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad (US Consulates)


                I hope the concerned competent authorities in the Delhi State Government,the Central Government which includes the Home Ministry and the Road Transport Ministry and the Delhi Police(Traffic ), New Delhi will take urgent steps to regulate the heavy Vehicular Traffic on these roads, so that the residents of Sector 8, 9 and 12 in R.K.Puram, New Delhi could be saved from the high pollution levels in the area and the high speeding cars passing nearby their residential premises day-in and day out. This has become a nightmare for the residents. Unnecessary wastage of time and valuable money in the form of petrol and from the constant need for medical help by the residents due to very high pollution levels could be avoided if the government authorities are serious in the matter.

Thanking you.

Yours faithfully,
                                                                                                                                                                                   RAJIV PATHAK
