Death of two persons due electrocution near Dariba (Chandni Chowk) at Delhi was outcome of total negligence by concerned authorities when the light-pole at road-divider opposite Dariba was giving current for last so many months, and it was the heavy downpour on 12.07.2010 that made the problem so severe to result in death of two persons due to electrocution.
Bitter fact remains that walled city of old Delhi, a hub-centre for wholesale commercial activities in all trades, remains totally neglected with every government-department in Delhi busy and involved in construction and beautification work being done towards Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. Historical Chandni Chowk is totally neglected with even a major fire taking place just a few days ago. While so much is being spent on renovation and development of Connaught place, historical Chandni Chowk is totally neglected by authorities in all respects.
