i know it's an education platform and not the right place to discuss politics. yet i'll take the risk to say just one thing- ab toh jaag jao blind worshipers. i am not asking you to turn liberal or left wing, that would be absurd coz there can never be just one set of ideas that everyone subscribes to.  i am just asking you to be a responsible right winger who put well-being and welfare of countrymen above leader worship. you have to accept that you have given too much leeway to the current PM. All his decisions have been epic disasters be it demonetisation, or sudden lockdown at short notice, or his casual attitude towards corona and premature triumphalism yet he continues to evade accountability. This consciousness that he can do anything and yet count on his votebank to keep him in power is the root cause of many of the avoidable tragedies that have befallen our country.

I am not asking you to vote this way or that, only that keep these politicians under your shoes. Dont make them DEMIGODS!

Get your sentiments brother. But please avoid bracketing or labelling ppl as blind worshipers if they follow a certain political leader. every politician aka demigod has such followers. such name calling only makes ppl more cocooned and unresponsive to rational discussion.

but on the more pertinent point, modi has failed miserably in this covid era. no doubt. you had 1 effing year to prepare for the 2nd wave and you went around business as usual. far from becoming world leaders in vaccine mfg that modi so crooned on, we have failed to provide necessary response domestically either. It is the rural masses, the poor the women the elderly that bear the bigget brunt. so much for sabka vishwas.

what makes it worse is not just the political rallies and the religious bigotry that blamed a certain section for the spread. no. thats something we are used to with the deadweight media and it cell. but it is the usurping of powers from the states which is shocking. epidemics act, ndma, pm cares- the centre has taken powers for itself. and yet doesnt want to be held accountable. and then their trolls blame states to evade questioning. the audacity. how dare you.

ps- am a modi voter. but also his biggest critic. called him out for the lower vacancies in upsc and unemployment as well. we are left with modi as there are no alternatives. imagine rahul gandhi handling this pandemic. thats right. one cant. 

soln- self reliance. local governance. participatory democracy.

Hi!

I need a help. 

Long story short, I am bothered and saddened by the open defecation I see being done on the main road, especially by women, and others too, when I go for early morning run. 

I decided it long back that I will try to do something about this but kept on procrastinating it for like a year now. The episode 3 of the Unacademy-TVF Aspirant series was a mind and  eye opener for me, wherein that dude writes a mail to PWD and gets the pothole fixed. I was motivated and decided that i won’t procrastinate it any further and will do something about the issue which I am not liking at all.

The most ideal way for me seems to be to write an email to the higher authorities. For this purpose, I have collected emails of officers via govt website. I am planning to write an email addressing to the Commissioner of Municipal Corporation of Faridabad and adding to CC, other high level officers such as commissioner of Faridabad district, deputy commissioner, SDM  of Faridabad etc etc.  

Now this is where I require suggestion/help. Will this be a sound option to proceed with or is there any other way possible which would result in higher chances of success?

Secondly, I am sharing below the email I have drafted which I will be sending to the officials. I tried to be as crisp, formal and to the point, as possible. Any input/ suggestion on this would be really helpful. 

Thirdly, keeping in mind the havoc that second wave of infection is causing, will it be wise to write an email regarding this issue at prevailing times in the first place? :/

Thank you.

Please help me if possible.

The email I have drafted:-

Hello.

I’m a resident of old Faridabad and I have a request as well as some suggestions to make which requires your attention and intervention, both.

Issue- 

The issue for which I’m writing this mail is theopen defecationI see, especially done by women, every early morning, when i go for a run.  It really pains my heart to see women defecating in the open, getting interrupted and standing as a result of shame, every time a vehicle or a person passes by. This seems to me, a direct attack on both, women empowerment as well as Swachh Bharat campaign.

Location: 

Consider yourself coming from Shooting Range road, you reach Surajkund roundabout, you take straight road which goes to Ballabgarh via Manav Rachna International university. On your left, there comes NHPC Faridabad office. In front of the first gate which comes to your left while on the road going towards Manav Rachna university, there is a small locality on the opposite side of the road where people residing there have created hamlets\ small-small houses for dwelling purpose. It is the residents of this locality, who defecate in the open as they don’t have any toilets available.

Steps which  should be taken:

1. Construction of individual toilets at each home of that locality. Or,
2. If not private, then construction of  common toilets, free of any usage charge as I think those residents would not be willing to pay any such amount. And,
3. Creating awareness among the people of that locality, sensitising them about the hygiene issues, and nudging them to not defecate openly but inside these newly built toilets.

I hope and pray that my request would be given due heed and attention and the steps that I have suggested will be worked upon. I did my work as a citizen by informing that there is  a certain gap which is existing in the society. Now as administrators, it is your duty to bridge this gap. Please work upon it as soon as possible.

Have a nice day.

Thank you.
