Cover The Nala Near Eastend Apartment and Nagarjuna Housing Societies

The Issue

I am a resident of Eastend Apartments and I fear for the health of my children

The nala near Eastend Apartments and Nagarjuna housing society in Mayur Vihar Phase-1 extension has become a serious health hazard for thousands of people. The toxic fumes that emanate from this uncovered drain have already caused serious health issues for many residents. The stench is unbearable and has made it impossible for us to breathe. Children are the worst affected as they can't even play outside in the evening and we have to keep our windows closed most of the time.

The drain is so filthy that there is a layer of toxic foam on the top. The hazardous gases are constantly destroying air-conditioners and fridges. 

This nala has already been covered till the Crowne Plaza hotel but the part which comes to Eastend and Nagarjuna has been left open. Are the life of middle class people less important than those who stay in five star hotels?

If thousands sign my petition, we can make the Delhi Chief Minister take action and close this nala once and for all.

Please sign my petition and don't forget to share it with your neighbours and friends.

Dear Amina and residents of East End Apartments, Thank you for sending me your petition on Change.org and bringing to my notice serious issues associated with the nallahs. In your petition, you have rightly noted that the toxic fumes of the nala near Eastend Apartments and Nagarjuna housing society in Mayur Vihar Phase-1 extension has become a serious health hazard for thousands of people. I have noticed the stench is unbearable. A major problem faced by the residents across East Delhi from New Ashok Nagar to colonies of Lajpat Nagar, is the constantly deteriorating state of the nallahs. I assure you that I will make this my priority - desilting and cleaning work of nallahs, will be undertaken within 100 days. Furthermore, East Delhi’s green spaces have been disappearing. The public parks managed by DDA are lying in dismal conditions— often converted to garbage dumps or illegal parking lots— including the parks in the Buland Masjid area, the Ambedkar Park in Kondli, and Rana Pratap park in Gandhi Nagar. DDA parks across East Delhi will be cleaned and brought back to life. Given Delhi’s complex governance system, we will fight tooth and nail to ensure that Delhi gets full statehood, which will ensure that everyday problems related to the DDA, Delhi Police and MCD are resolved in a timely manner. I believe that true representation of peoples’ concerns and strong political will can play a big role in the improvement and development of a constituency. I am committed to provide East Delhi residents concrete solutions to the challenges the area faces today. Warm Regards, Atishi
