Dear Dr. Chatterjee,

i was deeply touched by your concern about the residents of Basti Nizamuddin
which i read at
http://readerlist.freeflux.net/blog/archive/2007/04/09/re-reader-list-response-to-ratish-re-nizamuddin-basti.html
.
As a resident of Basti let me thank you on behalf of all the residents. i
must admit that i myselft was unaware of some of the facts which you gave
there.

In contrast to Mr. Ratish's reply to you, MCD team visited Basti on 14/4/07
asking all the shopkeepers to produce the property papers in the MCD office.
And a hindi daily carries the news today of demolition plan. (I hope you are
aware of that). i feel MCD and Aga Khan people are hand in glove into this.
i personally and most people in Basti are not against the development and
beautification but we certainly are against the this approach. i feel people
from Basti should be taken into confidence ignoring their "vested interests"
(as described by Mr. Ratish).

Residents of Basti have filed 2 RTIs with MCD and the response is still
awaited. Could yiou please enlighten us more on this issue and give us some
guidelines for the course of action.

Thanks & Regards.
