Gates of Residential colonies demolished by South Delhi civic body

 

NEW DELHI: The SDMC (South Delhi Municipal Corporation) demolished 8 gates of residential colonies in Safdarjung Enclave and Green Park Extension. A day after that the South Delhi civic agency on Saturday said that notices would also be issued to other colonies asking them to follow norms  

An official of SDMC said, “We will do a survey of other areas and issue notices to RWAs/residents to obtain permission from the traffic police and NOC from the fire department. If norms are still not followed, gates will be removed from other colonies as well. Also, it will be ensured that the colony gates remain open for the general public during daytime. ”

Adding to his statement, “In case of the two neighbourhoods, the matter was discussed with the residents before taking the action. Some residents had earlier complained about the gates remaining closed during the daytime. ”

On Saturday, the RWA members of Green Park Extension met the south zone’s deputy commissioner. Neha Puri, general secretary of Green Park Extension RWA said, “We were never served the notices. We demanded a copy of complaints (without mentioning residents’ names) but those were also not shared. How can we believe them? One of SDMC’s officials asserted that they were not bound to serve us notice or share a copy of complaints with RWA, something we immediately raised objection to.”

Neha also added, “We had installed the gates on residents’ demand and none of them were on the main road.”

All the RWAs across South Delhi said that to restrict unchecked and unwanted entry of outsiders and avoid the spread of Covid-19 the colony gates are necessary. Pankaj Agarwal, resident of Safdarjung Enclave said, “There are lakhs of such gates in the city and majority of them did not require any permission. If they are removed, it will only increase law and order problems. In our area also, the gates were installed 40 years back after a police initiative ‘Neighbourhood watch’ was introduced.” He added that on Saturday, SDMC officials asked them to remove three more gates.

MK Gupta residing at Greater Kailash-I, S-Block said, “SDMC seldom responds to complaints of encroachment, pruning or cleaning backlanes, but when it comes to taking action against some good work done by RWAs, it immediately reacts.”
