can u tell me the differenece between a ward officer, a muncipal councillor, a muncipal corporator and the additional muncipal commissioner? briefly in terms of who elects them, or are employed by whom and who are they accountable to and wht are their duties ? a confused citizen
|
|
Dear Shriya, The Municipal Commissioner and additional municipal commissioners are IAS officers appointed by the state government ( CM) hence accountable to them. The Corporator/councillor is elected by the people and obviously accountable to them. The city of mumbai is divided into 24 administrative wards i.e. 24 offices from which municipal services are delivered. They are headed by the ward officer. We have 227 councillor wards. They have only deliberate powers (decision making) but no executive powers. Read current scenario and city structure on the website. |

The second off lane on S.V.road enroute 2 Goregaon from Jogeshwari Station, to be precise is called Bandivali Hill Road next to which a project has commenced say before 6-9 months ! The FSI law as permitted by BMC when considered should allow the road to expand but is still the same which is unusual is it because of corruption (bribery) or any other reason it is still unclear ! The lane being so narrow & hilly from the top lots of accidents have happened due to accompanied & unaccompanied vehicles moving along the wall due to brake failure ! Few have lost ther lives fer handicapped ! Someone has to be held accountable for this who ? The corporator or BMC offical who signed the residential project !!! Someone needs to answer these questions.

YOU OR YOUR PROPOSALS HAVE NOT REFERRED TO ELIMINATION OF CORRUPTION IN ALL ITS FORMS AND EDUCATIONAL PRIORITY
|
|
Dear Rondev,
We have suggested various ways to curb/reduce/punish corruption and bring in accountability. This falls under checks and balances under campaign in the website. Apart from that you will realise that the Area Sabha proposal itself will check corruption. Apart from that, while we believe education reforms are necessary Vote Mumbai does not directly address this problem. But the proposal will make sufficient impact on the way municipal schools are run. |

hello, can u please tell me how the change in the current system or structure will lead to an improvement in the wellbeing of the mumbaikars as the structure proposed by this campaign is similar to the one india has, and there has been not much improvement in india as a whole?
|
|
Dear Ankit, Decentralization and devolution of powers are the key words here. This has not been granted to Urban india. Rural India with the 73rd Amendment has improved greatly wherever the Panchayati rule has been established properly. |

Hello Khushvi, I am a Thane Resident. How can societies in Thane (I have many friends living in different societies in Thane, that's why the plural tense) form a nexus with BMC/TMC to make a difference in our societies - mainly to do with cleanliness/ hygiene. Even generating awareness amongst the residents on matters like health issues - cleaning the area of puddles of water, air pollution, (servicing their vehicles for eg to avoid that) pest control measures, All these taken up and implemented on a regular basis with coordination between the residents and TMC. Can you suggest some ways on how we can initiate this. Many Thanks. Garima
|
|
Hi Garima,
Through Votemumbai we have tried to initiate legitimate citizen involvement into these city functions and are training citizens on how to function and interact with the BMC. If you have a large group i suggest a campaign in Thane. Due to the National Urban Renewal Mission and the Nagar Raj Bill the government has decidied to make some important changes. There are also documents available in the loksatta movement office which can be useful to you for the functions you mentioned. |

There are plenty educated people who are definitely support this cause
As a voter: One should not vote for the candidates who are tainted/corrupt/no respect for the people/except keeping their chair in tact at all costs.Shameless creatures on this land and a burden to our nation and the globe
Only educated persons of proven background should be made to stand for election
The rest should be barred
And no of children should not be more than two, v 2 and our two
It will take many decades to clean up the system
Your efforts are appreciable
Do you agree with me?

Dear Roaji,
What you suggest is unconstitutional and cannot be peritted. At votemumbai we believe that corruption, criminalization and malpractices during elections are manifestations of a systemmic problem. We have tried to recognise the flaw (please check www.voteindia.org) and have suggested solutions. You might agree with it after going through that website. |

Dear Ramanji,
Vote Mumbai believes in the true essense of democracy and the will of the people. We want to create platforms for all citizens-rich or poor, to participate equally in governance. We are also asking for accountability of those in the system. Vote Mumbai sows the seeds of grassroot democracy in urban areas. |

Is it not possible to start polling booth level commitee of citizen by involved NGO?. This group can start working for the improvement in the area and also to work for the vote mumbai compaign. In Kandivli some of us are thinking about this. Can we get help in form of getting voter list, area map and ther guidelines to form the same. This can become the standerd refrence for all the areas of mumbai.
|
|
Dear Mr. Mandloi, This is an excellent idea. We can form mock area sabhas before they become legitimate. We would like to extend our support. Please contact the Lok Satta office or email your contact number to us.

why are you not mobilising support from mumbaikars
by spreading message of a constructive oppostion
to the third rate goverance and administration of
the city?
|
|
Dear Aditya,
Merely opposing the current governance and administrative systems cannot work. Votemumbai is also suggesting deeply researched solutions and taking civil society, politicians, bureaucrats and all stakeholders into confidence. We strongly believe that the first step towards reforms would be by introducing world class planning, decentralization, accountability and transparency into the governance system. |

have you complaint exposure form ?

Dear Rajashekharji,
If the enrolment refers to volunteering for the movement pls fill the volunteer form available on the website. If the complaint exposure form refers to whether we have a provision for it in our demands, the right to information act, our demand for disclosre norms and area sabhas would help improve transparency. |

All problems like 26/7.
All our question only answere is change our governance system.
This is what management consultants speaks when he has not correct solutions for the problems.
Civic admn and police are soft targets in democracy.

26/7 is a manifestation of poor governance. To improve governance we need to replace the non-working and faulty aspects of governance with better alternatives. |

Please send your reaction on pm who said first won the election of corporation to get support from the center to their corporates.
This indicates central govt. not supporting mumbai because they do not have rule in corpn.
when votemumbai working for mumbai then votemumbai must object such tendancy. Then only we are true mumbaikars and we have right to run votemumbai's campaign.

Why is nothing been done in researching on and popularising use of solar and seawater energy? They are the most abundant and cost effective natural resource available to man and can be a solution to the energy and water problems of India/Mumbai
|
|
Dear Kshitij, There are several alternatve energy solutions and creative soluions for many problems in the city being implemented all over the world. We can compare these to softwares. But if your computer is outdated the best softwares in the world will not work. Similarly, our governance system is outdated. Vote Mumbai aims to change the computer, make it a P10. Then there are so many solutions that can be implemented. |

How can we stop mumbai from terorist attack.
|
|
Dear Pradeep, Terrorism is a global phenomena, Vote mumbai deals with governance reforms and not internal security. What Vote Mumbai will change is the way in which the city reacted. Also, being a city crammed for space, better planning, wider roads, easier travel option and other measure could help detect terorists more easily. Area Sabhas will decrease hide out options, community building will take place which can check communal riots. Identificatio of people will become easier. |

Do you believe that our every interaction is between ‘Self and World’ ? If so then development of Self is before World. If world development is before self, like Scientist, Economist and politician, then this development is short lived. And most people want it as they believe this life is the only one. “Kal Kisne Dekha” is favourite one, although mindless. Should not the ‘Self’ be developed first ? How do you propose to do it ?

Dear Swapanji, Governance affects maximum people and quality of governance can change only if systems change. When basic needs are denied citizens need to take action, understand the source of the problem and evolve a positive solution. Also, the volunteers of vote mumbai come with altruistic feelings and higher chakra thoughts. |

Inspite of a ban on cooking in open public places, the B.M.C permits cooking in stalls diring the Bandra Fair. Why? Why are the poor slum dwellers heavily fined for the same act?
|
|
Dear Agnelo,
There are many things that are wrog with the city and many unfair policies. The main problem is that the people have no say in them and nor do their elected representatives. The BMC is not accountable to us but to the commissioner and the Chief Minister of the state. These are city issues and we need strong governance with people participation and accountability so that every action is taken with the common concensus of all sections of people in that locality. (read area sabha) Also there is too much disparity between the different classes. Our solution talks about integration of the people. |

Your suggestions for Mumbai governance are not wrong. But what i expect is that if you have any plans for Mumbai, those should also be suggested for entire Maharashtra. There should not be any discrimination towards other parts of Maharashtra.
|
|
Dear Jay,
You are right. What is proposed for Mumbai is applicable for all URBAN AREAS. 74th Constitutional Amendment & JNURM is for all cities. If any one OR group wants to take up this agenda & build a campaign for pushing these changes for their cities they are welcome. Lok Satta Movement will provide all the support that is needed.

Pessimism is a hardcore fact with the mindsets of mumbaites,why?.
|
|
Dear Dhimantji,
In the past our people have mandated for a change, whether by the electoral process or by single issue based campaigns but nothing on the groung has changed. Therefore the "kuch nahi ho sakta attitude". The kind of comprehensive reforms we suggest will actually improve the lives of Mumbaikars drastically. But as you have mentioned, we need to break this barrier of pessimism and bring about an awakening. |

Do all NGOs share evidence, source, nexus, loopholes in the governance of corruption for effective representation at various level?. Do you know that in the fight towards stoppage of dumping at Gorai dumping grounds, Municipal personnel had exhorted signatures on 100/- stamp paper from all residents in the vicinity wherin, not only them but also their heir as well as subsequent buyers will not object to dumping at Gorai.
|
|
Dear Dhimant, The system is so bad, that if you can tell me 100 problems, I can tell you 1000. All information is out in the open and brazen response is given to exposure. The corrupt, bad decisions are made by a non-accountable, centralised, bureaucratic decision making process. It is now time, through the Vote Mumbai campaign to change the decision making process by making it accountable, citizen friendly, transparent, empowered and democratic. |

Do you think that if for pot holes one has to go to the level of Highcourt, then corruption or whatever will eventually succeed exhausting even the judiciary?.
|

Dear Dhimantji,
Vote Mumbai shares this very concern- the executive is just not performing. This is where area sabhas come in. (please read area sabha under campaign on the website). We are asking for a change in the power equation where we citizens and our eleted representatives will have a say in the implementation, quality and delivery of municipla services. (also read checks and balances to see our suggestions to curb coruption) |

Greater London is the top-level United Kingdom subdivision (which corresponds to the state in India) covering London, but Mumbai is not the top-level subdivision of India. Ken Livingstone is the mayor of Greator London (we have CM to do this job). The term "London" is often used in reference to Greater London. It covers not only the City of London but also 32 London boroughs. Greator London doesn't have official city status while Mumbai has it. Why should Mumbai have a structure of governance which other cities have set for their convenience ?
I live in Nigdi, around 50 km away from Pune.
|
|
Dear Jay,
Thanks for your engagement. India has adopted three layers of governments due to its size hence Union, State & Local (URBAN & RURAL) government exist. The Vote Mumbai suggestions are about Urban Local government & to make it 1- democratic, 2- empowered, 3- accountable, 4- transparent & 5- participatory. All these are currently missing at the Local city government level and therefore bad governance. The ideas are nothing new & practised in many democracies. If you have alternate suggestion to achieve above 5 principles to provide good governance, your ideas are welcomed. If you believe that Mumbai, Pune and other city governments are already providing good governance, then we lose the case.

U said, 'Similar systems are followed in many cities throughout the world, London, Paris, Rome'. As far as I know, UK ( whose capital is London ) have prime minister - Tony Blayer elected by people. But India's Prime minister didn't even participate in election. He is appointed by Congress. So dont u think we can not compare Mumbai ( or other Indian Cities ) with London as we can not compare prime ministers of India & UK ?
|
|
Vote Mumbai Campaign is for governance reforms for city of Mumbai. London is governed by a directly elected fully empowered Mayor - Mr. Ken Livingston.
At national level both UK & India follow the Parliamentary system to which elections are held through "First Past The Post System". UK & Indian PM both are appointed in same manner by the party or parties together having majority in the House of commons & Lok Sabha respectively.
Where are you located. I believe a personal discussion would be good to creat a better understanding. Please visit us at Lok Satta Movement, Base unit - 4, Byculla Service Industries Premises, Dadoji Konddeo Road, Byculla - East, Mumbai - 4000 27.

Well thanx for that clarification. But is there Indian any city running with a structure u suggested for Mumbai ? I think none of metros like Banglore, Kolkata, Delhi, etc... have such system of governance. Then why Mumbai ?
|
|
Dear Jay, Similar systems are followed in many cities throughout the world, London, Paris, Rome to name a few. Governance in other Indian cities is just as bad but problems are not as compound. Mumbai has lead reforms in the past and should do so once more. |
| 29/08/2006
|
|
Your reply to my previous question was not straightforward. Now I have a question about Mumbai only. I read few pts abt new system in which mayor will be accountable for problems of Mumbaikars. Can u tell me in simple words whether Chief Minister of Maharshtra will have any control over Mayor of Mumbai ? Plz dont tell me to go thru site again.
|
|
Dear Jay,
Thank you for taking time to understand the proposals extended by "VOTE MUMBAI" Campaign. One of the proposals that Vote Mumbai has suggested is "Directly Elected Fully Empowered Mayor" for the city of Mumbai. Once this happens, Mayor will be fully in charge of the city of Mumbai Municipal Corporation including city planning, execution & enforcement of municipal laws. The relation ship between Mayor & CM will be that of between CM & PM. CM will have no say in the running of BMC however will have power to remove Mayor & call for fresh elections for Mayor in extraordinary circumstances like Union Govt has power to remove state govt. under certain specified circumstance like breach of the constitution. This ofcourse will be open to challenge in High court. Other than this CM will have no control over Mayor. Mayor will have a fixed tenure otherwise & will be fully accountable only to the citizen of Mumbai and will have to perform in order to get reelected.
Hope this clarifies

I would also like to sign up to give my acceptance for the campaign. However, I could not find the weblink to click.

Thanks for your initiative.

I received your response. I'm happy 2 c that Dombivli is on the map of votemumbai. Can you plz throw some light on what research votemumbai has done about surrounding cities (like Kalyan,Dombivli, Vashi, Panvel, Virar, etc..) & what kind of governance it has suggested for these cities?
|
|
Dear Deepak, Vote Mumbai includes includes the above regions only for planning functions. While change is required in those systems the changes we propose will mean decentralisation within the Mumbai, atleast for now. However we have to acknowledge the fact that a couple of lakh people travel to mumbai everyday and planning has to be done for the entire metropolitian region. Please go through the Metropolitan Planning committee under campaign to understand. |

I accept that Mumbai has lot of problems. But ppl r not commiting suisides there. Problems of Vidharbha & other rural region definitely needs first attention. There is huge economic & social gap between Mumbai & other part of Mah (esp east mah). U should also be working 2 bridge this gap. Should I expect u to suggest the same structure of governence for entire Mah as U r also a part of Maharashtra ? In simple words I expect votemumbai should become votemaharashtra.
|
|
Dear Jay,
You must understand that these issues ideally need to be resolved by the government and people in power. I will also clarify that these issues are extremely important and need to be addressed. Just by by going and giving some aid to a set of farmers will not change the condition of rural india. Correct policies and decisions need to be taken to make a real difference. We are suggesting a change in the current political structure in another campaign that is going on side by side called voteindia.(www.voteindia.org) Please go through it and understand our vision to transform India. This is a Mumbai centric campaign but Vote India is the comprehensive campaign. |

While browsing i landed at votemumbai.org. I pleased to see that there r several ppl woried abt developement of Mumbai but unfortunatly no one for developement of regions like Vidharbh ? Why couldn't u see that ? I read that votemumbai is started by Loksatta. Its a Marathi newspaper. Should it not work for entire Maharashtra ? I also read many NGOs are also ur partners. Why they r limited for affluent cities ?
|
|
Dear Jay, Few things. This is not the Loksatta newspaper but a citizens movement. Lok satta believes in changing systems- political, electoral, judicial... because that is where the problems begin. Please go through voteindia.org for the national campaign. Also understand that mumbai is in deep trouble, slums, poverty, people dying because of waterlogging... Vote Mumbai addresses these problems. |

hello , i just wanna know y u wanna change current system what r the ill effects of this system and positive as well as negative points of new system for which v voting thank u
|
|
Dear Alison,
The current system is flawed in every way. The citizens, like you and me, and our choosen represntatives do not have powers to monitor how the city is run. In the new system we will be able to decide which gutters need to be cleaned, which roads need to be repaired etc. Like any other sane democracy our leaders will be empowered and will be answerable to us. Corruption will reduce. The only way the city can really improve is this. We are only replacing an outdated computer with a P10, the sftwares can be taken from anywhere in the world. |

Mira Road is not included in this campaign. It has many problems in civic matters, postal, transport-buses as well as non-metered rikshas etc. Can you suggest any activist for this area?
|
|
Dear Rupareliaji,
Votemumbai also includes the Mira-bhayander for intergrated planning including an integrated transport authority. Other issues can be solved only when decentralisation takes place which is what Vote Mumbai demands.

I think that your work is realy a good comunication
mathad bitwin people and 'MMC' but what about futuor ?
|
|
Dear Yogesh,
We are actually talking about a change in the power equation where people like you and me can make decisions on matters and where the MMC employees would work under the direction of the citizens and their represntatives. It is a systemmic change calling for decentralisation, empowered leadership, and accountability. |

I'm a resident of Dombivli ( Dist-Thane, near Mumbai ). Problems here r no different from those of Mumbai ? Why dont u increase area of your functionality to accomodate us or even whole Maharashtra ? In that way Mumbai can help rural parts of Maharashtra where development is beyond dreams.
|
|
Dear Deepak,
Vote Mumbai includes Dombivili, Vashi, Virar, Vasai and areas surrounding Mumbai but only for planning functions. Other reforms are BMC specific. If we can make amends in the BMC it will be easy to push for them in other municipality. |

Why do people throw garbage as soon as the sweeper completes the job ?
How do we change the mind set ?
Do you believe that first we change then the world should change ? Won't that be permanent change ?
|
|
Dear Swapan, The debate rages for centuries whether people should be changed first or systems. Over 5000 years have passed and religion and moral and ethical teachings have not made any positive change. We believe that people have good and bad qualities within them and a system which encourages good behaviour and punishes bad behaviour will create incentives and disincentives in public life for constuctive action |

My question may seem a bit confused & unclear but this is what i've felt. Today the entire world is becoming self-centered. All people have to think about is my self, my family, my community, my country & the list goes on. With the roots of this attitude lying in not only the upbringing but also the education being an additive to this, why are not measures not being taken to solve the problem at the root itself? The terrorist attacks, the 26/7 deluge were all a result of the fact that some one somewhere felt that it is not good for him to continue in the present situation & do his duties honestly. Can there be any solution to this? Can the up coming generation be made aware of the fact that though the thesaural meaning of 'self' is very confined, one can always redefine things for himself. Can they be made to picturize entire humanity as their 'self' & act accordingly? Will the examples set by the great leaders of the world be used in this approach? I think this is a very urgent need of the hour as 'a stitch in time will save nine'
|
|
Dear Abhishek, Humans have good and bad qualities within them, and a system which encourages good public behavior and punishes bad one, will make the nation operate in a constructive manner. This is not an unique proposition, it is the way most countries have progressed from extreme poverty to prosperity. Do join us for discussions and action. |

what will be the goverment actions of palstic bags?

Dear Amit,
Vote Mumbai deals with solving governance problems. Pls check Area Sabha to see how this platform can be used to implement and take up issues like ban on plastic bags. |
| 08/08/2006
|
|
looking closely at the solution... i see that you have included the NGO's and the ALM's in a gud percentage in the whole structure.... i hve a question regarding tht.... since u are talking about elected representatives and the area sabha.... i wld like to understand tht since the NGO's are not formed by elected representatives, i dont think they have a right be in the committee's unless elected thru a fair election process.... this could easily work against the whole system... since these NGO's cld have vested interests, and thus wld want to be in the committee and in the decision process.
|

Dear Shriya, The rationale behind including NGOs is to gain their suggestions, expertise and insights however only elected representatives will have voting powers in the Ward Committee. |

Man Made system can not be 100% percent perfect. I am surprise to see that we are suggesting other system. I feel whatevev may be the system implementation has to be there. Before pointing out our civic /admin problems we must address why our media failed. why they are not disciplined . why they are looking only hyped issues and why they are not interested in local issues i mean operational issues.
First need is to trained these people.
How u r telling comman man to take a action when our media is in hands of politian, capitalist or corp.
i am preparing test cases where our four pillers are failed.
We are suggesting the change in admin but what about our social responsibilites.
Let me know that as an organisation are we allowed to file a complained against authority .
Votemumbai is only consulting organization without any reponsibility .
thanks
kadne devanand
|
|
Dear Mr.Kadne, There is a problem with the implementation process but the rot is deeper than that. The current system is so absurd that the first step has to be changing it. Vote Mumbai believes that it is important to change the system of incentives and disincentives rewarding good behaviour and punishing bad. The currnt system is just the opposite. Also there is a question of lack of accountability in our pillars of democracy. For mumbai vote Mumbai addresses this issue for the legislative and executive. Please go through "Checks and Balances" |

It was nice to see young generation leading this campaign. when i first met with your volunteer coordinator she just cant understand the marathi this is a regional lan. During your saturday meeting all members speak in English why is it so?

Dear Manoj, Your point is well taken. We have quite a few marathi and also non-marathi coordintors.Another volunteer co-ordinator Dr Kedar Diwan is marathi speaking, but you have made a good point, we shall soon start conducting meetings in Hindi to begin with. Knowledge of local language can become an issue and we need to address the same. |

Dear Anju, While there are a few new entrants, most of the people have a lot of grass root experience.

Actually, we are seeing many ex-political and social activists joining this movement in big numbers. Do go through our list of partners for your query. |

why mumbai is lagging behind Calcutta and Delhi in infrastructure. Surely due to vested intersts of politicians and lack of accountability and delayed public sentiments.
|
|
Dear Mr. Venugopal,
We know of these as the problems. Some other reasons are lack of planning, rapid development and slow reactions, lack of executive authority with city politicians, no decentralisation, multiple agencies working in the same area etc. Everyone else is suggesting piece meal solutions of building one sea link here and a metro rail there but these cannot solve all the problems of the city. What we need is a planning body (read Metropolitan planning Committee); a strong city leadership( read directly elected Mayor); decentralsation and citizen participation(ward committees & area sabhas) and accountability and transparency measures( checks and balances and area sabhas). |

How can the migration pressure on ANY city be controlled?Why the infrastucters be channelised and concentrated in the cities only?Doesn't a citizen of India living in rural/non-urban area desreve water,electricity and good transport facilities-the three main basic requirements for raising and improving standard of living?Today we mumbaikars are enjoying these three basic amenities better than any other place in India-but the seeds of this progress were sown by the British government! Our governments later increased the volume but have failed in decentraling these resources in far flung non-urban areas.How the governments can be compelled to disperse the resources and infrastructural facilities every where else(other than cities), so that jobs - income generation is spread out and MIGRATION PRESSURE IS TAKEN AWAY FROM THE CITIES?
|

Dear Dilip, Your balanced opinions puts the right perspective on the problems. But, urbanization is a global, irreversible phenomena and low cost housing, better planning and better governance can reduce the pain of urban areas. |

Dear Sir,
Yad rahe chup raho.
Randi ko permision nahi ke rape ka complaint kar ne ki.
There are many problems in mumbai. We are asking good roads from the B.M.C.
But what about them who are buying the cars and parking on roads (one family and many cars)
Society takes parking charges but ..
These people washes the car using water pipes.
Smly. now a days there is a fad from the celbs to critisize the govt.
Mhada provided rooms for stay. Owners are doing business by giving the house on rent. They aer doing the buziness illigaly.
Who are suppling electricity to hawkers ....
At andheri Platforms are used by these hawlkers
Let me tell you i myself made a complain to authority but nothing has happend.
What human rights activists doing in mumbai
There are contracters,rik owners and hoteliers who are bringing poor labours and puting them in small zopadi. Two meals with shabby conditions. they behave like bandhwa majdoor. Tthe do not have a voice because the caste power or goondagiry.
Unless each cityzon feels this is my city nothing is going to happen .
Lakho mill workers ko barbad kiya mills owners , leaders, aut samaj ke thekedaron ney .
Mills betch di mall (or Maul) Banane key liye.
Candles ka dhanda bahut ho ga....
All four pillars of democracy are corrupt ......
We failed to take democracy ,nationality in every house.
We are always there as true and old citizon of mumbai.

Dear Devanand, You are angry and justifiably. It is time to come together and in an intelligent way put things right. Anger is only a trigger for sensible constructive action. |

who will solve all this mumbaikars problem?

Dear Sushma,
In a sane democracy the elected representatives should be solving our problems. Unfortunately because of a flawed governance system this does not happen. A group of individuals, mumbaikars. like you have spent two years researching the real problem and are suggesting a comprehensive solution. We cannot ofcourse solve every little problem created because of bad governace but we can put a system that would make a difference. |
