Residents of Ardee City, located in Sector 52, held a meeting with the newly elected Gurugram MLA Sudhir Singla on Saturday to apprise him of the problems they are facing.
The issues they took up during the course of the meeting included takeover of the colony by the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG), registry of properties, occupation certificates of flats, blocking entry into the colony from Indira Colony, provision of bus shelter at gate no. 3 among others.
Around 200 denizens attended the meeting and vociferously raised their demands. During the meeting, RWA members handed over a memorandum of demands and sought the MLA’s intervention on several developmental issues.
They alleged that the developer had been neglecting the maintenance of the colony for the last 6-7 years which has aggravated the miseries of residents. At present, more than 12,000 people are residing in 2,500 flats in the colony.
Chaitali Mandhotra, a member Ardee City RWA, said, “We have demanded immediate transfer of our colony to the MCG as we are have suffered for far too long under the developer. During the meeting, we raised several issues such as deplorable condition of the sector’s internal road, dysfunctional streetlights etc. For the last one year, we are maintaining the cleanliness of the colony through voluntary donation, but we cannot construct roads or install streetlights on our own.”
