Water Taps left open while going out by residents of 1st floor

From :

Tholiya Family, the Resident,

1 st Floor, Tholiya Bhavan.

To,

Other Residents, 1^st Floor,

Tholiya Bhavan.

Dear All,

U r all aware that water is a necessity.

That wasting it is a national crime as our country has shortage of water.

That we have one common water meter and if anyone’s tap is left open then water gets wasted and others do not get sufficient water. Specially when tap is left open by person  who has tap on low level then person on higher level does not get water. My water tank is on terrace and thus is on highest level and if water is kept flowing on 1^st floor level then my bathroom does not get water and 4 of us use that bathroom and so on…..

That I have bigger family, we pay more towards sharing of water and we have senior citizen in our family.

That at all times my family has given water and several other assistance to those who suddenly arrived from Jaipur etc and helped in various other ways in crisis.

But it is sadly found that while going out without having any regard to the inconvenience it will cause (god knows intentionally or unintentionally) taps were left open by other residents’ in their homes. And doors were under lock and key.

It created over flow resulting in:

1.        Wastage of water which is a scarce national resource which none has right to waste even if paid by him.

2.       As our share is higher we will be paying for wasted water which is a additional burden on us.

3.       It created shortage of water and we suffered from less or no water.

WE here by appeal to all residents of 1^st floor to ensure that when they go out of their room for overnight or longer period then pl. check water taps and keep them closed and ensure no water is wasted.

I am sure you all will cooperate and ensure that there are no escalation of such issues. We would not like to take legal recourse available to us on same if due care is taken and all behave as responsible neighbors and citizens.

Yours,

Alok Tholiya

Are judges out of reality with realty market of Mumbai??????

In year  2010  Hon  Small causes court  fixed  mesne  profit rent of a tenant using self  contained room in a RCC building in a convenient location with water and electricity    as Rs. 1000/- p.m.  . The ex tenant is very big gems and jewelry  exporter living  in Jaipur. Hon Court had  evidence and admission before it that  said tenant possessed bungalow in Jaipur, travels abroad for years  in several times in a year, has many four wheelers, and two wheeler s etc etc.Yet due t o a senior advocate representing and saying he cant afford higher rent  court has fixed rent at Rs 1000/- p.m. . Today's i.e. 13th August 2011 Times of India  on first page  says that in slum  where living condition remains sub human the rent  is  Rs.10000/- p.m.. What the advocate wanted was we dispute the low rent fixed by hon. court and he gets  chance to delay the matter. We consented. Then came turn of depositing the rent. Months  have passed and the rent was not deposited inspite of court orders. Application for condonation of delay was filed. Why??? So that we oppose and matter is delayed for few more years. We had no choice but to consent. So we see how senior advos  thrive ?? Not by taking matter  with some life and not by fighting matter on law point but by managing delays ..Hon court has been silent spectator.to all this.

Citys slum market is booming  Pay 15,000/Sq Ft To Own A Shanty,10k/Mth To Rent  Anahita Mukherji & Nauzer K Bharucha TNN  Mumbai: The realty market is booming in Mumbai.But not in its traditional posh,suburban or newly developing pockets.It is flourishing in the teeming slums that house 60% of the citys population.The informal property industry here is easily worth several hundred crores a year.Some tenements in these areas sell for as much as Rs 15,000 per sq ft while rents for the humble hovels can soar as high as Rs 10,000 a month.Its another matter that the living conditions almost always remain sub-human. Thousands of shanties in prime locations are regularly bought and sold under the radar of government scrutiny.The market boasts its own set of brokers and investors.Most transactions are done in cash and the only loser is the government,which does not receive stamp duty, says Sharad Mahajan of Mashal,an NGO working in Dharavi.   Mumbais Slums Are Paved With Gold  First page Headlines " City's slum market is booming" on Saturday TOI, 13th August 2011
