What according to you should be the 5 most important issues in the forthcoming Delhi Assembly elections? and why?
-Safety for citizens : The private security and police presence to be increased around the city 24*7 for late workers,employees in BPO's and media houses, around party hubs, etc. making the city safer at night and also increased precautions and security against bomb blasts which will also help Delhi become popular internationally before the upcoming commonwealth games.
-Rising Prices : Reducing wastage at local level by providing better storage facilities to traders and ensuring stringent regulatory norms against hoarding and reducing local taxes on basic food items.
-Smoking zones and drinking age: Public places should have smoking zones and the circulation of tobacco products should be regulated instead. A 200 rupees challan on people caught smoking anywhere outside their homes is unreasonable and at the same time the problem of smoking needs to be tackled also. The drinking age should also be brought down to 21 and the availability of alcohol should be regulated.
-Traffic conditions : Public transport system needs attention. Depots need to be constructed for blueline buses which are parked along roadsides by night. The conditon of the blueline buses needs attention, and if they are removed the DTC should be accountable for providing a responsible service to commuters. Action to popularise the use of metro over private transport needs to be initiated.
-Rehabilitation for residents 0f slum colonies : Building concrete accomodations in places of JJ colonies and slums.
