Commonwealth Games tourist info cafes getting good response

Tourist information cafes opened in the capital to provide details about the city to visitors during the Commonwealth Games are getting a good response, said a professional associated with the project.

Forty such cafes are to be opened across the city. These would be a one-point information hub for tourists coming to Delhi during the Oct 3-14 sporting event.

Besides having counters for providing details in eight languages on accommodation, bus routes, food, shopping destinations and culture, the cafes have facilities for food and beverages as well as souvenirs.

The cafes have been conceived by Delhi-based artist Ved Pohoja and his associates. They are built on land provided by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NMDC) and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

“As of now the cafes have been opened at Red Fort, Connaught Place and Birla Mandir. By the month-end, all 40 kiosks would become operational. The cafes remain open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., said Saurabh Chauhan, who is associated with the project.

Chauhan said the cafes are getting a good public response. “Lots of people are visiting the kiosks seeking information. As of now most of the people are from Delhi but as we get close to the Games we are looking forward to cater to foreign and other tourists, he said.

Many a time’s news published on Commonwealth games in India. Just to attract finance from the commonwealth countries and there is plenty of corruption to put every thing in their POCKETS. Not only that to attract foreign investment from commonwealth countries and their citizens abroad. But is that safe? If every thing is in vicious circle of corruptions of INDIA what those investors will get? Not even the Right to nationality where you are born! And ONLY a misleading statement to cheat you and your finance investment and ultimately will go in corruption and in their pockets of corrupt nationals.

We need to start demonstration when the common wealth games or going to happen on 3rd October 2010 in DELHI. Though they will try to suppress such demonstration under the name of security breach but it’s the time to make a Display and demonstration else every thing will be missed to raise our voice at right time and loud voice to reach the world community and specially to the people of commonwealth citizens.
A great demonstration has been planned on the day of opening of the commonwealth games on 3rd OCT 2010
1) As we were expecting dual nationality as all rights reserved as a normal Indian citizens enjoys, It was reduced to Indian Overseas citizen with only few limited right – say actually nothing in the rights!
a)As a commonwealth citizen all commonwealth citizen has equal right to work, education, and electoral voting rights in local as well as all parliamentary election.
b) Indian government is breaking rule to be a member of commonwealth membership, may be India needs to correct this or face a consequences for membership of commonwealth nations.
c)Along with the nationality issues we also discussed the requirement of the medical laws and surrogacy births. (Though recently 2009, supreme court of India – Delhi had one such ruling and ruling was in favour of Surrogate mother, BUT that’s Not the whole, supreme court ruling may need to make more research in Medical laws and amendments accordingly as this ruling may be used by unknown kidnapers, for lost children adversely. And it becomes a matter of the international law).
2) Many of our institutions and NGOs are not having members from the legislative backgrounds. And so unaware of the actual laws and may need such guidance or such an honorary members. Even Judiciary system is also need to add such experts of specialised researchers in Laws e.g. MEDICAL LAWS (LLM).
We make demands of our rights which are restricted otherwise in INDIAN OVERSEAS CHITIZENSHIP charters. Specifically Equality rights with other Indian citizens for work, educations, business and electoral etc.
News of "NRI will get voting rights" and published today in the news papers. BUT ITS JUST LIKE A "ZANVA NEER" THERE IS NOTHING LIKE TO BE HAPPY . WE NEED TO UNDERSTHAND WHO ARE THOSE NRIs.
We need to clarify the laws of Citizens of India, Person of Indian origin (PIO), NRI definitions etc and THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A DUAL NATIONALITY in INDIA NOR INDIAN OVERSEAS CITIZENS Nationality but ONLY one NATINALITY of INDIA and a SINGLE PASSPORT ONLY.
HERE "NRI" DEFINATIONS LIMITS ONLY INDIAN PASSPORT HOLDERS BUT STAYING / WORKING OUTSIDE INDIA FOR MORE THAN 180 DAYS, WHO HAS NO WATING RIGHRTS WILL GET BENEFITS OF WATING RIGHT DESPITE STAYING MORE THAN 180 DAYS ABROAD. NONE OF BRITISH OR ANY OTHER NATIONALS WHO HAVE DUAL NATIONALITY WILL GET ANY RIGHTS OF WATING.
SO THERE IS NOTHING TO BE HAPPY, OR TO MISLEAD TO PUBLIC OR NRI. FIRST LET IT BE CLEAR THAT DO WE HAVE THE FULL NATIONALITY RIGHTS AS A DUAL NATIONAL CITIZENSHIP!!
