The biggest challenge comes from supply water and then collecting the sewage. These two must be planned well ahead of the urbanization drive and high capacity water piper must be set up, so that the roads are not broken again to lay larger pipes again. Similarly, high volume sewage pipes must also be planned before high rise buildings come up. After water, the second problem with high density living in India is electricity. Our transformers are not able to bear the load and shut down frequently.

Sir, with increasing urbanisation there is an urgent need to step up efforts for affordable sustainable housing. Both horizontal & vertical expansion are needed, cities must have satellite townships to decrease the clogging of the CBD, inner city resources, most metropolises have poor living standards traffic clogged roads, extremely unhealthy air & noise pollution, lack of potable easily available water & poor sanitation. The manhours lost due to stress of urban living far exceeds the benefits.

Step 1.: Part 2 of 2: Total cost of correction or fixing the problem (Say 100 rs) should be deducted from the responsible officer(s) salary. Same amount (100 rs) should be paid into an account for housing development from salary of police and field officer or Gram Sevak or JE. Same amount of fine (Rs 100) should be collected by individual and put into the account. If it repeats more than 5 for any concerned than action to be taken.

Step 1.: Part 1 of 2: All land records should be digitized by fix date (say 15 Aug 2015 ) and marked as agricultural land and residential area or industrial area. All responsible authorities should held responsible if any unplanned development happens after that. If a single brick laid down than responsible officer (Panchayat, or DDA or Circle officer..) should be fined. Villages and small towns are more Vulnerable.

Sir dir this I would like to suggest that under this policy the roof water harvesting should be encouraged by the govt. Authorities and I think it should be made a complsory to all the builders and govt authority who develop the house or township or complex that they have install roof water harvesting system in them and also they have to install solar cells in it. The size of these system can be small in the beginning but will be increasing year aftr year.

Sir Ur promise of a digital India was really an inspiring one. But the state-owned BSNL is not ready to give broadband connection even in Corporation limits; what to say about remote villages. I had even complained to the Minister of IT&Communications. But no action has been taken in this regard. I am still waiting for a broadband connection at my residence at Kozhikode, Kerala. Kindly bring in a system in which the citizen's grievances will be given heed to by the public authority
