2 DOWN : 1
TO GO !
2 months back , Mumbai Municipal Commissioner,
Shri Ajoy Mehta asked all his officers ,
to prepare a 3 month action plan for removal of
commercial encroachments (not religious ) , from footpaths ( DNA / 04 Oct
, 2015 )
He added,
" Once the encroachment is cleared from the
footpath , ward staff will have to ensure that it does not come up again .
Prepare lists of encroachments with photographs and video recordings , as
evidence "
Questions :
# How many months are required to prepare a
" 3 month " Action Plan ?
# How often should ward officers take those
photos / videos ? Once a month ?
# Can they re-submit ( again and again ) same
photo / video of a cleared footpath ?
# If footpaths get permanently cleared of the
encroachments , what happens to their "
haftas " ?
Leaving aside the last question , technically , it is
not all that difficult to monitor those footpaths , 24 hours of the day
Mumbai Police is installing some 2,000 CCTV cameras all
over the city to capture the terrorists
London has 500,000 CCTV cameras to cover every nook and
corner ! 24hours !
So monitoring footpaths of Mumbai , by installing
50,000 CCTV cameras, on 24 hour basis, is not a problem
And funds are no problem either , with MCGM having
spent only 22 % of its Rs 33,000 crore budget so far , in the current
year !
On top of that , it is having fixed deposits worth Rs
45,000 Crores in banks !
After installing those 50,000 video cameras , use
following software ( embedded in a computerized CCTV network ) to compute the
monthly salary of each ward officer :
Salary Payable / Payroll Salary =
( Length of footpath in his ward clear of
encroachment * Percentage of time free of encroachment )
divided by
( Total Length of footpath * Total Hours in that Month
)
Then expect a miracle of E-Governance thru innovative
digitization !
