PRESS INVITATION
Dear Sir/ Madam
In spite of 59 days of Yamuna Satyagraha, the government is not
paying any heed. Expert agencies have given no permission to the
constructions on the riverbed, yet they are going on at a full pace.
The youth, especially the students of Delhi University have decided
to take up the cause.
Are you aware that in our city we are losing 60 million years Old
River forever just for a 9 days event in this city?
Are you aware that all expert bodies have denied permission to
construct on the Yamuna riverbed?
Are you aware that the Govt. has never explored any alternative site
for the Games village? Why is Govt. so bent upon constructing Games
Village on the riverbed?
Are you aware that the initial budget for holding Games in Delhi was
Rs1700crore and now it is 23,000 crores?
Are you aware that in the Games winning bid to Commonwealth Games
Federation, the terms and conditions stipulated that the Games
Village would be given for university accommodation after the Games
are over? Whereas, now Govt. has allowed the builder to sell flats
to public at cost of Rs. 2 crores per flat.
Can you smell a scam at cost of our natural heritage and a misuse of
sentiments associated with students and sports?
Complete water table of city will GO DRY because of concretization of
river…
The site itself is flood prone, lies in seismic zone – IV and is most
vulnerable to natural disasters like earthquake..
Some youths on 18th Sept barged into Delhi Assembly and sought answer
to these questions during the last day of Monsoon session. They were
taken into custody. Why did the youth go this extent in a manner as
Shahid Bhagat Singh did for independence of country?
A youth march shall be organized at Delhi University tomorrow on 28th
Sept.. The venue is Vivekananda Statue, Arts Faculty, Delhi
University. Most of the colleges and departments of north campus will
participate in the march.
