Community centre named after slain Delhi Police officer

A community centre in Dwarka Sector 12 was today named after slain Delhi Police officer Mohan Chand Sharma, who lost his life in the controversial Batla House encounter in September 2008.
The community centre, which falls under the South Delhi Municipal Corporation, was inaugurated by state BJP president Vijay Goel.
"No Delhiite can ever forget the martyrdom of Mohan Chand Sharma who lost his life in the operation against terrorists hiding in Batla House in the Jamia Nagar locality. It is sad that petty political considerations have worked to discredit the operation," he said.
Stating that Dwarka is known to be the largest group co-operative housing township in Asia, the BJP leader claimed it has been given "step-motherly treatment" by Delhi government.

"Co-operative group housing societies pay the highest rates for electricity bills for street lights and common area lights while in other areas the government itself foots the bill. Even for the booster pumps used for pumping water in the multi-storied buildings, the CGHS society pays five to six times more than the normal rate for electricity," Goel claimed.
