PROPOSAL FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Educating
the common man
Community interface
The
AAUI proposes to evolve consensus in the open general house
in its Annual General Meeting on September 26, 2008 calling
upon its members, their family and friends to effectively
associate with the above tasks. The AAUI has more than 100,000
family members residing through the length and breadth of
Delhi and NCR. They can play a pivotal role in identifying:
=> Fractured and badly
damaged roads
=> Non
functional and redundant traffic signals
=> Encroached walk - ways
=> Black spots
=> Hanging electricity cables
and wires
=> Electricity poles restricting
traffic view and signals
=> Road markings and signage
=> Any other obstacles
to traffic movement
We
propose to organize initial meetings with the members and
their families with a view to impart necessary guidelines
to help in collecting the information relating to the above
said areas. The information will be supported either with
a photograph or a sketch to enable easy identification of
the spot.
Participation
by the AAUI members in the above tasks will also be encouraged
through our website, handouts and Upper India Motorist magazine.
The
information so collected will be disseminated to the UTTIPEC
for directions to the appropriate authorities to take immediate
remedial steps and suitably address the issues involved.
In
order to encourage the members to continue contributing to
the Committee, it will be desirable for the AAUI to communicate
with them as to the action taken by the authorities on their
feed back. A strategic approach to harmonize this channel
will have to be devised by the UTTIPEC.
