POLICY IMPERATIVES Transparency and Accountability of the State machinery Process to decide state funding of non government events and how and to what extent and with what safeguards should the state fund such events? Process to monitor and document fast forwarding of ‘developmental’ efforts so as to avoid misuse, mis planning, disregarding of regulatory processes and mis selling of an event using unrealistic hype? Process to involve civil society in key decisions that impact the latter like how should the river be ‘developed’ if at all? How to ensure that the state itself does not become predatory in nature?

CITIZENS’ VISION FOR THE RIVER BED AND FLOOD PLAINS a) River bed is a wet land and belongs only to the river b) River bed cum Flood plains are city’s most valuable natural resource and meant ONLY for passage of flood waters and ground water recharge • 25 year flood line in river bed be declared sacrosanct (bridle paths and bathing ghats alone be permitted) • Flood plains beyond (between the two embankments) be used only for organically grown vegetable, fruits and flowers to meet the city’s growing requirements • River in Delhi be cleaned and turned into a functioning buffer of welcome greens and water and a model for rest of the world
