Are the NCR cities ruining Delhi's image?

[xtremevicky]

Well Today I read about the rape incidents in Delhi and I wonder what is wrong with this city and the first thing that came in my mind was that the areas surrounding Delhi have a comparatively bad crowd !

What do you guys think ?

What is the reason for our capital to be one of the most unsafe place for women ? Does it still deserve to be the capital of India ?

Same goes for every other country in the world, even the western world.

Actually this condition is worse in countries like US. So, India wouldn't stand tall here, when compared.

NCR's got nothing to do with it. The police here are inept, and since people can get away with such crimes, that makes it all the more worse.
And rather than talking about tackling corruption and crime, you are talking about shifting the damn capital? Weird.

It is because New Delhi has the most corrupt police officials, and people can get away with anything. The people are bad of New Delhi. Best to not interact with them. I choose that route. See domestic transport. So saddening for females. Apart from metros.

I am just saying that the National Capital has to be safe for women . As a country capital , It must be one of the safest places in the country but it is not !

i want to add something
these areas are filled with gujjars who have got rich via gov compensation for their farmland.
they think of themselves as kings of the area, and keep the police under control (yes, the police dare not touch them)
last week, i was going by public transport(tata magic), and a police guy stopped it and demanded the transit money(each time a vehicle makes a few runs, they take 100-200), but this guy had paid before, so he got in a fight with the pig, and almost hit him. only the conductor and the police van driver saved the pig. the driver then angrily told the pig "thujhko to dekh lunga" ( i will make you pay for this)

now, in such an environment, tell me, why would the police risk their jobs and lives to catch a rapist?

Out of the 4 major metro cities of India, the one which is actually safe is Chennai but infra-structurally not that good. Sexual harassment incidents are very very high in both Delhi and Mumbai.

Now Police in Delhi is actually *much* better than Gurgaon, Faridabad and NOIDA. Won't comment on Ghaziabad as I haven't been there.

The situation in Gurgaon is like this. 15 year old is driving a motorcycle/car. One traffic policeman stops him and asks for the license. The kid asks, "100 ka ya 200 ka??" This isn't the case in Delhi.

Crime rate is much higher in UP compared to Haryana btw.

I am just saying that the National Capital has to be safe for women . As a country capital , It must be one of the safest places in the country but it is not !

which city do you think is *safe* and appropriate to be the capital of India? The answer is none.

Time to choose from Eastern states, not because they are any safer but the development will kick in.

ya it is unfortunate that Delhi that is known to be the "dilwalo ki delhi" seems to be loosing its heart!
the main reason for the increasing crime rate in delhi is due to the large population, less resources and of course our "Honest Delhi Police"!!!
I also agree that the NCR regions Noida in particular adds to the increasing crime rate and unsafeness for the women.

development in India means exploitation of natural resources

It is a social issue. Something which would be really interesting to study as a sociology student. Why has Delhi become so negative towards each other. Why has Gurgaon suddenly sprouted as a "mean town" BUT has the most MNCs and high population of upper middle class + working class.

Does money bring empowerment, coupled with corruption. Have any of you actually observed people in metros. Try this -- in fact in your own city. Stand at a pan waala shop for 30 minutes. See the type of people which come in and their comments on life. You will see the attitude of a city. Common man. Now observe youngsters driving their bikes and vehicles. They care nothing about the law. Why is this happening.

I think it is all corruption. We as society are loosing our sense.

well i can comment on the youngsters
media too boast of this "so called young generation"

most of the kids are spoiled because the parents are not so strict
parents think that "arey mere laal ko har chiiz mile"
kids ask something and they get it in the next hour
parents dont let the young kids to do something on their own , to make them feel the sense of responsibility
well 'm not saying that all the parents are same

Some know how to take charge in these sort of situations

Are the NCR cities ruining Delhi's image? Probably Yes.
Yes, for the small minds. But to educated, I don't think so.

The correct answer of this question depends on the prejudices set by the people about Delhi.

I, on the other hand, believe NCR is giving Delhi a new breather. Due to already overcrowding city, people who are migrating here from various parts of the country finds places to live in NCR. NCR have given birth to various hangout zones (mainly Malls). And people of the city have discovered new places to hang out.

Of course, crime rates in NCR are high, since security couldn't remotely be compared to that of the capital. But I think, those are rare cases. And I hope things get better in UP.
