Status of Footpath Dwellers in Delhi - Violation of Article 21 of Indian Constitution

Near Batla house kabristan, in Jamia Nagar, New Delhi - 25, some families are living in open air on footpath without any shelter. Yesterday I stopped my bike near them they all assumed that I am any almsgiver who came to give them some money. Children of these families were playing there without showing any dismay of this chilly winter...sign of grief and inability to do any thing for these children were clear on the face of their mother. unme se ek aurat ko teen din pahle road pe hi bachcha hua hai... She was showing me her baby... All of them were asking me to arrange a home for them so that they can pass the cold winter ... but how can I do this... I have no such resource.. what the hell those government agencies are doing... whose have duty to provide shelter to these shelter less....what if some of them lose their lives..... is it not a violation of Article 21 of Indian constitution.... when many such people living under the nose of Indian Government can not get shelter in Indian Capital then where else....

Special Report on Missing Girls in East Asia on International Women's Day

Noted journalist Aarti Dhar in her research article in "The Hindu" observed that the problem of “missing girls'' – a scenario where more boys are born than girls, as girl foetuses are presumably aborted, and women die from health and nutrition neglect – is growing in the Asia Pacific. Birth gender disparity is greatest in East Asia, where 119 boys are born for every 100 girls.

She further says that China and India together account for more than 85 million of the nearly 100 million “missing'' women estimated to have died from discriminatory treatment in health care, nutrition access or pure neglect – or because they were never born in the first place, “Power, Voice and Rights – A Turning Point for Gender Equality in Asia and the Pacific,'' a report brought out by the United Nations Development Programme in Delhi to mark the International Women's Day said.


Some Hard Facts from the Report

> One-tenth of women in the region report being assaulted by their partners,

> Majority of women who do work – up to 85 per cent of South Asia's working women – are engaged in unstable low-end work in the informal economy.

> Few women hold property.

> Although women predominate in agriculture, they head only 7 per cent of farms, compared to 20 per cent in most other regions of the world.

> The region is far behind where it could be on basic issues, such as protecting women from violence, upholding entitlements to property – even allowing people to divorce in an informed and reasonable way.

> Few countries have adopted or implemented laws prohibiting violence against women, despite widespread evidence of discrimination and assault.

> Nearly half of the countries in South Asia, and more than 60 per cent of those in the Pacific, have no laws against domestic violence.

> Nor are there many provisions against sexual harassment in workplaces,

> Though 30 to 40 per cent of working women report experiencing verbal, physical or sexual abuse,

> Too often, customs or religious beliefs have become a rationale for laws and legal systems to ignore or soft peddle or even justify issues such as discriminatory inheritance practices and the multiple forms of violence that specifically target women.

Four children in the 7-11age group drowned in an open pit in NCT of Delhi

On 6th of March 2010,right under the nose of India Capital, Four children in the 7-11age group drowned in an open pit filled with water, which is said to have accumulated from a leakage in a pipeline at Gopalpur in North Delhi. Angry locals and mourning relatives of the children who drowned, have demanded strict action against those responsible for the tragic deaths.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (North Delhi) Sagar Preet Hooda said: “A case of causing death due to negligence has been registered against unknown persons and investigations are under way to fix responsibility.”

The pit in which the children drowned is located in a gated complex. The police are trying to find out if anyone had been deployed for the supervision or maintenance of the complex.

Then Who is responsible?

The blame game is on its natural prosody. The Delhi Jal Board on Saturday absolved itself of any blame for the negligence that led to the death of the children. It shifted responsibility to the Irrigation and Flood Control Department of the Delhi Government.

While residents complained that the Jal Board took no action to cover the pit and fix the leakage, the water utility said the land (with the open pit) was owned by the Irrigation and Flood Control and Irrigation Department.

Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has announced a compensation of Rs.1 lakh each to the families of the victims.

CHILD RIGHTS ADVOCATES demand a high level inquiry in Ruchika case

Suddenly this girl's name has raised the pulse of Nation. Who is this girl? What is happened to her? How she became the victim of Child abuse? how a power police officer diluted the scene and made the mockery of law? now what would be the next strategies of the government officials and Judiciary toward the Rathore, the culprit? what punishment he really deserve? and many similar queries surfaced in front of whole nation. Thanks to media, which gave the issue the required edge! A very genuine concern germinates in a layman's mind that how to react in this issue. Was this incidence was unique to Indian psyche or this kind of child molestation case is very common in this country. No body knows how many more Ruchikas are being victimised daily by the powerful Rathores in our prosperous Indian Nation. Only God knows the real answer.

Child molestation is a danger kind of Child abuse, is not a new concept. But we don't know when the duty bearers of this country will understand the seriousness of this issue and would do some thing more concrete. Our lawmakers should understand that use of government machinery must be for the welfare of victims but not in the support of culprits and especially when the culprit is a Public Servant like Rathore.

CHILD RIGHTS ADVOCATES demand a high level inquiry in this case. Let the truth come, not only to ensure justice to the family of Ruchika, which they deserve at its earliest, but to probe the mis-use of government machinery, the favoritism given to the culprit Rathore by any specific Party or an Ex-chief minister. Let the naked truth come in front of nation. Let the powerful feel the heat of Judicial Machinery and Rule of Law, if it is still existing in this country.
