ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES LEAD CLEANLINESS DRIVE IN DELHI
On the call given by the Aam Aadmi Party’s Delhi unit, elected MLAs led by ministers of the Delhi government and the Vidhan Sabha Speaker on Sunday initiated massive cleanliness drives in their respective constituencies across the national capital.
Among others Vidhan Sabha Speaker Mr Ram Niwas Goel, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, PWD Minister Satyendar Jain, Water & Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra and Environment Minister Imran Hussain, led garbage cleaning drives in their respective constituencies.
MLAs along with volunteers had started the cleanliness drives as early as 8 AM in the morning. The party thanks the residents of the national capital for supporting the cleanliness drive and participating in it.
The AAP is of the view that any part of Delhi cannot be allowed to remain dirty and it is shocking the civic agencies – the three Municipal Corporations have failed in their primary and obligatory duty of keeping the city clean.
Due to large-scale corruption and mismanagement, the three MCDs have financially and functionally collapsed. The corporations are even unable to explain how they have spent the planned and unplanned budgetary grants provided to them by the Delhi government.
It is condemnable that despite having received the entire budgetary amount before time and having been given the concession by the Delhi government of not seeking any repayment of the Rs 6,000 crore outstanding loan and even the interest amount from the MCDs for the current financial year, these corporations instead of paying their employees salaries have provoked them to go on strike.
The AAP challenges the BJP and its mayors to answer the following questions :
1) Have the three MCDs NOT received the entire planned and non-planned budgetary amount from Delhi government before time during the current financial year ?
2) How much and when did they receive the money from Delhi administration last year ?
3) Can the MCDs deny that DDA owes them Rs 1555 crore ?
4) Despite doubling its parking charges, where has that money gone ? Can the MCDs make public its parking collection ?
5) Why has the property tax collection of MCDs declined ?
6) Is it not a fact that Delhi High Court on 30 October 2014 had stated that the MCD had converted Swacch Bharat Abhiyan into a mere ritual ?
7) Did the High Court not tell the MCD on 5 November 2014 that it is running a Dirty India campaign ?
Thanks

Retailers to help consumers leverage True 4G advantage
AIMRA to undertake True 4G awareness campaign for retailers and consumers
New Delhi, January 29, 2016: As the latest technology to engulf the Indian markets, 4G has already started making waves all over the country. Various cellphone service providers have launched 4G services in select states and regional markets, hoping to make the most of the first mover advantage. However, those who know the field well, know the difference between having a 4G connection and a ‘True 4G’ experience.
Thus, the All India Mobile Retailers Association (AIMRA) has initiated a drive to educate its members – the retailers – on what a ‘True 4G’ experience constitutes and which technology is necessary to have ‘True 4G’. Retailers will be informed that ensuring your device has the VoLTE technology is the key to having the ‘True 4G’ experience.
As a part of the drive, the association plans to conduct events, seminars, and live demonstrations for the retailers. They will also come out with a wide range of communication to help illustrate the concept of True 4G. These will be displayed at prominent locations at retail counters so that the message can be passed on to the consumers as well.
‘True 4G’ symbol will be used to mark all such communication and would be used to familiarize the consumer at large about True 4G credentials assured through technologies such as VoLTE, VoWi-Fi, andeMBMS.
The awareness drive is considered necessary in view of the launch of VoLTE-enabled 4G phones in the smartphone market. These are different from the ordinary ones that only have basic technology to deliver hi-speed data on 4G-LTE (Long-term evolution) network, and were first to hit the market. When VoLTE-enabled smartphones are launched, consumers are going to ask which one should they buy. Once told about the benefits of True 4G, consumers will prefer to buy the True 4G phones and retailers could end up with inventory of normal 4G phones. For, generally speaking, the retailers act as a guide and enabler of choices for their consumer.
Speaking about AIMRA’s role in the True 4G awareness campaign, Mr. Arvinder Khurana, National President, AIMRA said, “AIMRA is committed to bringing benefits of latest developments to all stakeholders in the mobile industry. We want to ensure that consumers are always aware about the latest technologies available in the market so that they always take an informed decision while purchasing devices. Through this campaign we believe retailers will be better informed about the key differentiators between VoLTE and non-VoLTE devices and will therefore be able to provide accurate guidance to consumers.”
‘True 4G’ pertains not just to the 4G network but also to having the technologies such as VoLTE, VoWi-Fi, and eMBMS in your smartphone. These will allow users to make voice calls in HD quality, have 7-way audio conferencing, make videocalls and organize 4-way video conferencing, simultaneous talk and surf function, and make calls directly using the Wi-Fi connection. Leading device makers such as LG, Lenovo, Micromax, LYF and Intex have started introducing VoLTE/VoWi-Fi-enabled 4G devices in the market while others are expected to join the bandwagon soon.
Thus, AIMRA’s campaign will help lead the consumers towards devices that can give ‘True 4G’ experience, by using the ‘True 4G’ symbol on those that fulfill the criteria.
