Heartiest congratulations on our representative becoming an Union Minister for Health!!

Dear Mr. Vohra ji,

Excellent projection of compilation! Heartiest congratulations on our representative becoming an Union Minister for Health!! Hope Delhi's health - politically, socially and administratively - will improve further on his elevation! On an introspection it is felt that our representatives could achieve many things and overcome many problems of the citizens of Delhi if they could ensure that all the officials and staff, right from the top to bottom, are made to work and respond to the genuine grievances of the citizens and redress them expeditiously! It is a pity that all our representatives, right from Councillor to our MP, not to talk of any Minister at the state or union level, do not even ack. e-mails sent to them, which is a faster and most economical way of communication, not to talk of response! They are only, I am extremely constrained to record, fond of and seeking felicitations, attending high-tea parties and making laudable speeches from public platform, rather than devoting time and energy to the problems of the 'aam aadmies' who could hardly approach them! Why can't they have staff to attend to such mails and ack/respond to them. They can also seek the assistance of 'volunteers' if necessary to help them in this respect.

For instance yesterday I happened to attend a felicitation function at Karkarduma in honour of our hon'ble MP, by whose sides all our MLAs and Councillors stood by, there was a milieu and a great crowd of all important persons, including citizens but could not maintain a decorum and decency and ack. the role played by the voters in making them elected! I am extremely pained to ink this, but could not help it. Most of them were squatting over the area for 'sumptuous lunch' perhaps gossiping with each other and not caring to even offer seats to 'senior citizens' of our age! This is the culture, unfortunately, we are fond of and we don't wish to celebrate such occasions in a better and befitting fashion! Perhaps my mindset was different?

Even before election of the Councillor and MP and after their elections  too, I had sent mails congratulating them and took the occasion the perenial problems of our area which are all pending over a long period of time but not even they were ack. not to talk of a response. This is the state of affairs. You have to be constantly and consistently in touch with them and approach them time and again in person and greet them etc. failing which you cannot even think of solving your problems! When the day will come when they will respond to your communications and resolve the problems? I am not a pessimistic but an optimist! Let's watch and wait for better times! 

With best regards and wishes,

TK Balu/Anand Vihar
