Grievance Description:It has been observed that bus routes like 727 and other DTC bus routes which used to go right past the domestic and international airport terminals are now diverted to operate far away from the airport terminals. This defeats the very purpose of public transport and larger benefits for society as whole and the rights of the common man in particular. Kindly ensure that public bus services to and from the airport are restored and an enquiry done on who was responsible for diverting these buses away in the first case.
Current Status:RECEIVED THE GRIEVANCE

Grievance Description:Bus users and pedestrians and others in Delhi have to face terrible conditions when they get on the road as pedestrians, which are extremely dangerous and life-threatening, and also end up causing a lot of chaos. Please look into this. One solution would be to provide pedestrian crossings at EVERY bus-stop with on-demand traffic lights for pedestrians. This needs to be done on an urgent basis and it is requested that this be implemented as soon as possible.

Grievance Description:Greetings and Jai Hind. Please refer to your Ministry letter F . N o . Z - I O I / O I S S - I I I ( P G ), Government of lndia Ministry of Labour and Employment (Public Grievance Cell) Shram Shakti Bhawan, Rafi Marg, New Delhi, dated : 29.10.2012 Please also refer to EPFO circular on the same subject http://www.epfindia.com/Circulars/Y2012-13/CSD_PGPortal_20182.pdf In this context I would like to state that the EPFO's own Grievance Redressal platform is totally unhelpful and to the extent that it forces EPFO claimants and subscribers to go with a begging bowl to the relevant office of the EPFO. These are the defects I observe:- +There is no response or way to check status for 30 days on the online platform offered by EPFO. + Time for meeting senior officers of the EPFO is not provided, we are just pushed away from the PRO. + Rejections are done on whimsical grounds and status of despatch of rejection letters is not shown. + Most of all, it appears that EPFO has scant respect for your circular quoted above. My own settlement case is now pending for the 51st day because I refuse to go begging for it. But the larger issue is that the EPFO has no grievance mechanism of any value for citizens. Most of whom are retired people seeking nothing but their own money. This is causing a major loss of faith in money kept with the government, Please, do something, and have the grievance mechanism at the EPFO revived. As of now, it appears to be an exercise in futility.

Grievance Description:Receipts for tolls, bus tickets and other taxes paid on highways and roads in India by using thermal printers are often printed on thermal paper, rendering them invisible and useless after a few days. This practice is discontinued in the rest of the civilised world, also because it is now known that this sort of heat sensitive paper and thermal printing is carcinogenic. It is requested that this practice be stopped immediately and receipts be printed on ordinary paper using safer inks or technologies.
