Drawback and deficiencies of the existing assets/system/ facilities are: The building, which is used extensively for marriages, has deteriorated. The building in its appearance gives an appearance of public dealing office rather than a celebratory building. The building lacks sufficient arrival and gathering space at the entrance to mark sense of arrival such as reception of barat etc. The hall on ground floor is insufficient as much of space, is occupied pantry etc. and needs remodeling. Existing infrastructure is inadequate. Toilets & Change Room facilities are inadequate. 3. 4. 5. 6. (c). Extent of utilization of the existing assets/ system/ facilities.are: 1. Structural system is not to be tampered with. Internal modifications in removal of walls and addition of partition walls. Cladding systems proposed for up gradation use existing structural system. 2.

It is proposed to air condition the halls with air cooled chiller units to be placed on the terrace of the building. Imp. & Upgradation of toilet facilities with good amenities are proposed. Upper levels of the building is to be used for private function and few bridal suits for the convenience of the users.

It is proposed to have suitable electrical back up for emergency. Fire detection/ fire fighting systems suitable for gathering spaces of this nature are proposed as per NBC & CFO guidelines which are currently inadequate. Most importantly, the up gradation plan would be a sustainable facility not only by its plan but also by the judicious use of materials & finishes that would withstand aggressive and incessant use. 2.

Name of the Project: Augmentation of sewerage in the area bounded by Bapa Nagar, Shershah Suri Marg and Dr. Zakir Hssain Marg. SH: Re-location of NDMC Jaipur House Sewage Pumping Station- Approval of Survey Report. 2. Name of Department: Civil Engineering Department (Sewerage Project Division). 3. Brief History of the Project: The NDMC Sewage Pumping Station, called Jaipur House Sewage Pumping Station was constructed in the year 1945 at a cost of Rs.19400/- (including two tanks type-I) on a plot of land measuring 1930 sq. ft. or 0.0443 acres @Rs.88,000/- per acre as per property register. But the records of land allotted is not available. It has been got confirmed from L&DO that the land was never allotted to NDMC. The Chairperson has accorded approval to modify the survey report by deleting the cost of land and the same has been modified accordingly. The Delhi High Court Authorities are pressing very hard for re-location of this SPS as the same is obstructing their extension of High Court’s construction of 12 nos. of courts in High Court Complex. Meetings of Building Construction and Maintenance Committee of Delhi High Court are periodically held in the High Court premises presided over by Hon’ble High Court Judges wherein officers of the concerned departments of NDMC are also called. A revised time schedule for relocation of SPS has been submitted to High Court Authorities for their appraisal. 4. Detailed proposal on the Project: M/s. TCE the Consultant appointed to study and suggest the augmentation of sewerage system of NDMC area recommended in their report, which stands technically approved, that Jaipur House Sewage Pumping Station is to be abounded. This SPS was earlier taking discharge from National Stadium, Delhi High Court and adjoining areas. Since Delhi High Court Authorities diverted their discharge directly to twin main barrel of 2100 mm dia at Dr. Zakir Hussain Marg, the discharge from national Stadium only is presently coming into this SPS. It was then decided that the cost of shifting this SPS be borne by National Stadium Authorities through Sports Authority of India. M/s. TCE had proposed to lay a 200 mm dia pipe line from National Stadium to Cater its discharge and take it to 2100 mm dia twin barrel at C-Hexagon main trunk sewer line. Since the levels of existing system of National Stadium is very low and discharge from it can not be taken to C-Hexagon Barrel through gravity flow, a boosting system is a must to carry the sewage discharge. Thus the relocation of the Jaipur House Pumping Station from its existing location to National Stadium Complex became inevitable. The Chairperson vide note p-51/N approved the following:i) Existing Jaipur House SPS in Delhi High Court Premises to be shifted to National Stadium Complex. ii) The work inside the National Stadium Complex including construction of SPS and the discharge from SPS to the boundaries of National Stadium is to be carried out by NDMC as 19 a deposit work on behalf of SAI for which an amount of Rs.18,09,000/- have already been received form them. iii) The work outside the premises of National Stadium i.e. the pipeline work from boundaries of National Stadium to 2100 m dia twin main line at C-Hexagon be carried out through NDMC funds for which A/A and E/S to preliminary estimate was accorded by Chairperson for Rs.26,91,000/- (P-51/N). 5. Financial implications of the Project: The existing building structure of Jaipur House SPS has already outlived its useful. The financial features of survey report amounting to Rs.6,69,141/- are given as under:i. 6. Reserve cost based on present cost of replacement method = Rs.(-)4,08,576/- ii. Reserve cost based on Actual Salvage Method = Rs.(-)3,856/- iii. Cost of inventories = Rs.2,60,565/- iv. Book value to be written off = Rs.19,400/- Implementation Schedule with timeliness for each stage including internal processing: It will take about one month to demolish the existing SPS at Delhi High Court after commissioning of new system at National Stadium Complex and then the plot of land where existing SPS is situated will be handed over to High Court Authorities. The detailed programme of constructing the new SPS at National Stadium and commissioning the new system has already been prepared and communicated to the High Court Authorities for their appraisal. 7.

Sharma, SE (PH) NDMC “It was informed in the said meeting that the basic issue is regarding the Desilting and Rehabilitation of sewer line as upstream from Q Point to Dayal Singh College which falls in the NDMC area. The NDMC had earlier asked the DJB to take up the work as a deposit work of NDMC but there was some disagreement on the terms of MOU and the methology to be adopted regarding the award of tenders of the work by DJB, which has resulted into non-execution of work. Mr. Garg, Member (Drainage) DJB explained that the past agreement or understanding is not valid as on date. The NDMC should carry out the work by engaging suitable agency. If, NDMC still desires that the work should be carried out by the DJB than NDMC should request DJB for this purpose, pay the price and work will be carried out by DJB. 23 Engineer –in-Chief NDMC stated that the NDMC had assigned this work to DJB since it was felt that DJB being a specialized agency for De-silting and Rehabilitation of sewer line, will be able to carry out the work in much better manner. Since, DJB did not follow up the prescribed procedure and did not sign the MOU, it was difficult for them to assign this work to DJB. Otherwise, NDMC is today fully competent to handle the work itself.” This aspect was brought to the notice of Chairperson with recommendation that the work of De-silting and Rehabilitation be carried out through CIPP/ GRP Technology by NDMC of its own through department agency by inviting global tender as we would have much better control on the cost competitiveness as well as time line and this experience is likely to be very handy for doing similar work for rest of the NDMC area.

Smt. Sima Gulati, Member, NDMC, has moved the following resolution u/s 23 of NDMC Act, 1994. “NDMC has large number of commercial unit’s viz. shops, kiosks, office spaces etc. and is having handsome revenue collections from these commercial units. It has been observed that there are a lot of disputes created by NDMC due to non-systematization of its licence fee collections. It is a matter of grave concern that the licensees have common grievance and complain about NDMC, not raising the demand as and when due. It is also complained that after a lapse of considerable time surcharges and interest are levied by NDMC upon the licensee without having issued any demand for the amounts due. One wonders how the licensees can be penalized for the inaction and delay on part of the NDMC. The council is required to issue demand notice well in time for its license fee collection, whatsoever due from the licensee. But it has been noticed that NDMC never bothers to issue demand notice in time and licensee, even if they desire to deposit the enhanced license fee can not do so for want of demand notice, and are charged for the alleged default. It is NDMC who should issue demand notice in time for realization of license fee. The system of realization of dues needs to be streamlined so that NDMC may not suffer on account of non-realization of license fees in time. Non-realization of license fees further results in litigation and blockage of revenue which impacts badly on the financial health of Civic Body. The L&DO has already passed orders that surcharges and interest can only be levied on default of payment of licence fee after a month has elapsed from the date of the raising of the demand by the department. In view of this the levying of surcharge and interest on the licensee without having issued a demand note is improper. It is often seen that NDMC never issues demand notice in time and leave it accumulating for a substantial long period and thereafter raises the demand by levying surcharge from back date i.e. the initial due date. It would be in the interest of NDMC that it may issue demand notice in time for collection of license fees and mobilization of its finances so that the same may not have any adverse 139 impact on its financial health. Rather, the licensee will feel comfortable and easy to pay the license fees in time and/or be informed of their enhanced liability towards NDMC and resultant penal action thereof. Keeping in view of the above, it is resolved that Estate Department may issue demand notices well in advance informing due date of demand of license fee and/or other due/imposed charges ensuring proper service to the same and then only thereafter the licensee be held accountable for the default. It is further resolved that Estate Department of NDMC may withdraw the demand notices issued to various licensees seeking the payment of enhanced license fees and surcharge thereon, if the same is not in consonance with the above. COUNCIL’S DECISION Council decided to forward the resolution to the department for action and compliance. 140 ITEM NO. 16 (M-8) 1.
