​​Dear Honorable Chief Minister:

Faridabad has been designated as a Smart City of the Future, by our honorable Prime Minister.

  1. Regarding the huge Open Naala that is the shame of Faridabad N.I.T.​

​​​MCF has not addressed this issue for over 70 years. This naala was created during the refugee resettlement program in 1949 (post partition​​)​​. My great grandfather onwards, this Naala has been part of the Faridabad landscape.​ ​​

​It i​​s sad that not one of our thousands of elected Faridabad MCF officials (since 1949), has stepped up to cleaning this naala​. Since then, this open naala has been a breeding ground for disease, causing severe health and economic consequences.

  1. Faridabad Air pollution – in which Faridabad ranks in the top 10 cities of the world, is also easily solvable. A crackdown on all diesel vehicles is all that is needed (it is common to see the police ignoring old diesel trucks, fumes). Along with a crackdown, a MANDATED transition towards electric vehicles – so that 50% of the city is EV by 2025, will solve this problem, once and for all.
  2. Clean up of Yamuna River – which can no longer be called a healthy river. Including beautification of Yamuna’s banks along with the clean-up.
  3. Roads are still underdeveloped, causing serious accidents and injury on a daily basis. A Faridabad citizen was forced to start filling potholes himself after his 3 year old son died in a crash.

Imagine what Faridabad’s productivity and economic output will become, once we address these basic issues. We, the citizens of Faridabad, are entirely willing to do our part. Please ensure the city (MCF) and the state governments provide the political and financial backing to make this a reality.

Sincerely
