WLC Reviews Delhi Traffic Situation

Hi All !

South Delhi has been suffering from the side effects of development. Ashram flyover area which connects the choker blocked Ring Road with DND Flyway has been undergoing repair work. Thereby causing motorists to experience chaos. 

PWD has closed off a segment of the road on Sarai Kale Khan for the repairs. A senior traffic police officer stated - To avoid congestion, motorists coming from Andrews Ganj Chowk should take a left turn to on Bhisham Pitamah Marg under the Lodhi flyover and enter the Barapullah corridor for reaching Sarai Kale Khan. For motorists coming from Moolchand, their advice is to take a left on Ring Road and get on Lala Lajpat Rai Marg and use the Nizamudin entry to Barapullah.


According to WLC Review on Barapullah, it is even more jam packed.

WLCI reviews dumping gold in toilets !

Hi All !

Yes the title is correct, I just read this news article which has reported that fearing charges travelers have been disposing bars of gold in the washrooms of the International (T3) airport in New Delhi.

Shocking isn't it, what's more shocking is the amount that has been disposed and the frequency. Officials say that this sort of smuggling is due to the threefold increase in import duty on this precious metal.

A funny incident that I read was that someone had smuggled a gold bar worth 40 Lakh Rupees in the body of a smartphone. Police found the device in the loo and tried switching it on, when they failed in doing so, they put it through the scanner to find the gold !

Auto Rickshaw Strike - WLCI Reviews

Hi All !

Due to corruption witnessed in micro level by Auto wallah's they have gone on strike today !

The Auto Rickshaw Sangh constitutes of more than 80,000 Rickshaw wallah's. The General Secretary claimed on sunday that :-

"Traffic cops sit in civil dress in our auto and ask for bribe. When we refuse, they seize our vehicles or impose heavy fines on drivers. We have also taken up the matter with Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Joint CP (traffic) Anil Shukla, but nobody has paid any heed to our demand. Auto drivers now don't have any option but to go on strike. We are not allowed to take passengers from Railway stations and Metro stations unless we pay a fixed amount to them."

This is really unfair and their strike is more than justified in my books !

Is WLC growing GDP

Hi All !

Well yes, that's what's expected by financial year end 2015 !

Sources report that by FY2015, WLC will be growing in terms of the Gross Domestic Product. The expected range of growth lies between 5.4 - 5.9 %. The Economic Survey reads -

"The growth slowdown in the last two years was broad based, affecting in particular the industry sector. Inflation too declined during this period, but continued to be above the comfort zone, owing primarily to the elevated level of food inflation"

It is expected that if the government takes the right decisions, then the growth rate could rise upto 7 - 8 % in the near future. Steps and measure with regards to improvement of governance and investment could lead to the mentioned rise.

Kudos !
