According to me these are some of the key issues that need to be addressed by the government.

1) Traffic control

City planners should work towards providing a public transport system that takes vehicles off the road. The city would be much more efficient if people do not have to waste a lot of time travelling.The authorities need to get more stringent in implementing traffic rules.The imbalance between growth of vehicles and road network has led to heavy traffic congestion and reduced vehicle speed.

2) Safer road networks

Delhi lacks infrastructure and this is one of the main reasons for fatal accidents.With a sharp increase in the number of vehicles, the administration must use its resources in constructing flyovers and broaden roads, otherwise accidents are just waiting to happen. Also the construction work must happen in a more organised fashion to prevent fatalities and inconvenience faced by people which is very prevalent currently.

3) Creating infrastructure to improve public sanitation facilities.

We need Community planned and managed toilets where there are constraints of space, safe disposal of waste and recycling of treated waste water, and managing of public sanitation facilities in all urban areas.Public toilets are a necessity,they should be built and strategically placed all over the city so that people can access them.This will be very beneficial specially for women.


4) Scarcity of water

This is the basic necessity but the authorities have failed to meet the water needs of the city.Water supply through the city's piped network is not even remotely sufficient.
In 1994, there were 10.98 lakh (1.09 million) water connections provided by the civic authorities. Ten years later, the number of such connections has grown by just 3 per cent.There is severe deficiency of drinking water and water borne diseases are on the rise.

5) Effective garbage and waste disposal system.

It is not uncommon to see piles of garbage collected in market places,colonies,residential areas etc untouched and rotting for days on end.The municipal corporation has been unsuccessful in maintaining proper sanitation in the city.
Residents from many colonies are complaining that the civic agencies have stopped doing even routine work.
Interestingly they use the implementation of the model code of conduct as an excuse.(The Election Commission implements the model code of conduct before the elections. This means that no new projects can be initiated after the elections are announced.)
