Guard Mehrab Gets his CNIC گارڈ محراب کا نیا قومی شناختی کارڈ

You will be pleased to know that our guard, Mehrab has now obtained his Computerized National Identity Card. Its number is:

44202-1731561-9

His family number is:

L84425


His date of birth is 1-1-1978. The date shown suggests that he actually does not know his correct dob.

The card has been issued on 20-04-2009, and is valid up to 31-03-2018. (9 years ... why not 10 years?)...

Anyway, the interesting thing is that his actual name is shown as:

Ghanwar Ali گھنور علی

This is surprising and a warning to all of us, that how come he is known as Mehrab all the time that he has been working with us for so long!!!!????

A scanned copy of his CNIC will be posted here soon.

Warning: Increased Rate of Robberies in our Area ہوشیار: ہمارےعلاقہ میں جرائم کی بھرمار

آج جناب ولی اللہ صاحب کا ایک مختصر پیغام موبائل فون پر ملا۔ انہوں  نے اس خبر  کی طرف توجہ دلائی: ۔۔

گلستان جوہر تھانے کی حدود میں بلاک 14 میں ڈکیتی کی واردات میں بے پناہ اضافہ ہونے سے علاقے کے مکین سخت پریشانی کا شکار ہوگئے ہیں، ڈاکو دن دھاڑے گھروں میں داخل ہوکر لوٹ مار کر کے فرار ہو جاتے ہیں۔ جمعے کو بھی کانٹیننٹل بیکری والی گلی میں دو مکانوں میں ڈکیتی کی واردات ہوئی، اہم بات یہ ہے کہ اس بلاک میں خواتین سے پرس چھیننے، موبائل چھین کر فرار ہونے والوں کے خلاف جب ایف آئی آر درج کرائی جاتی ہے تو دوسرے روز ایف آئی آر درج کرانے والوں کے گھر میں ڈکیتی کی واردات ہو جاتی ہے۔ علاقے کے لوگوں نے وزیر داخلہ سندھ ڈاکٹر ذوالفقار مرزا، سی سی پی او کراچی وسیم احمد اور دیگر حکام سے موٴثر اقدامات کی اپیل کی ہے۔

یہ خبر آج کے روزنامہ جنگ میں شائع ہوئی ہے۔ اس کے ایک سرسری تجزیہ سے یہ پتہ چلتا ہے کہ عام پولیس میں موجود کوئی کالی بھیڑیں معصوم شہریوں کا شکار کرنے میں معاونت کررہی ہیں۔ ورنہ ڈاکو عالم الغیب تو نہیں، جو تھانہ میں شکایت کرنے والوں کے کوائف جان جاتے ہیں، اور انتقامی کارروائی کرتے ہیں۔ ان تمام مسائل کا حل صرف اور صرف سی پی ایل سی سسٹم کے نفاذ میں ہے۔ اب تو آپ سب انپی آنکھیں اور دماغ کھول کر اس پر غور کریں۔ واضح رہے کہ سی پی ایل سی سسٹم میں کام کرنے والے پولیس اہل کار عمدہ کردار کے حامل ہوتے، اور براہ راست آپ کو رپورٹ کرتے ہیں۔  مزید تفصیلات کے لیے رابطہ فرمائیں۔

Mehrab Returns from LEAVE

The daytime guard, Mehrab returned on 12 July 2009 to resume his duty on that day. (He had arrived in the evening earlier ...)

New Replacement Guard due to Leave of Mehrab

Today afternoon it was surprising to see a new young man guarding the street entrance....

Mehrab has left for his 5 days leave today. A replacement came through Mehrab's brother in law (wife's brother) Arbab, who is guarding the area around B-267...270 etc.

The name of replacement guard is not known to anyone so far.

His interview will be conducted tomorrow, and an orientation given.

We have this major weakness in our system. A new person pops up, without any introduction and notice to the residents. And we all assume that he would know what to do as a Guard here :P

Best of luck to us all .... :)

Community Progress: New Guard Cabin and Garbage Swivel Drums

DEVELOPMENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY

For past many months it was seen that at times the garbage collector is unable to collect the trash due to two main reasons:

1- No electricity, so the bell does not ring

2- The residents are unable to answer the trashman call in time

Thus Hashim Syed raised this proposal about 6 month ago. Why not we install our own garbage drums outside each home on the street. Let the residents place the garbage at their convenience at night or early morning.

Then the trashman would collect the garbage from there, without disturbance.

The idea caught on, and our sweet Iqbal Qureshi, B-33, executed it in a very fine manner. We had seen nice swivel drums in city gardens, especially in Nisar Park, DHA. So similar ones were ordered. Each cost us Rs. 1800.

Now, we faced a problem of communication. Each household needs its own drum. So that they would not pile up their dirt in front of other neighbours. It seems, we were not able to communicate this matter in time.

Thus some people, surprised by the development, refused its installation near their homes. Another issue is parking space, which could be compromised a bit, due to the drums. But this is not a great problem right now.

So, dear neighbour, if you have refused to install the personal trash drum near your own home, you legally do not have a right to dump your home trash in these drums. But we urge you to do so on an experimental basis. Use them.

Once you are convinced that this is a good thing, allow us to install one near your own home.

You will note that in each developed society of the world, this is normal. Even there are very large trash cans for each street, where the residents have to go out and dump their trash. Each day municipality vehicle comes and collects the big garbage trunk using its trucks.

SECOND DEVELOPMENT

Now we have a small decorately painted one man guard cabin next to B-39. Thanks are due to Khwaja Saheb, and his family, for allowing its installation. Our guard used to remain in hot sun before, now he may have some respite. This has cost . Rs.

MORE DEVELOPMENTS

Zahid Razi, B-95, has taken up the maintenance of accounts on his computers. We are thankful to him.

We plan to place these accounts on a private website, only accessible by invitation to the members of the Community on our street.

GUARDS RETURN

Gulsher returned two days ago. He had extended his 10 day leave by one day.

Also Mehrab had returned within 36 hours, after taking his sick brother to Sanghar.

MONTHLY PAYMENTS

Somehow, our active neighbour Zahid Razi had decided to reduce monthly contribution from 1500 to 1350. This matter was not consulted widely. As we need to increase our municipal services, this contribution needs to be revsied again.

REGULAR SERVICES

We plan to have good handyman for our street. He might handle Gardening, Cleaning, and assist the guards in their day time duties. Then we can remove all the Gardeners and the Trashman who have very low service levels.
