The half-finished guard room and toilet in Block C, Rajat Vihar
The construction of a guard room in Block C of Rajat Vihar, in Sector 62, Noida, has come to an abrupt halt. The work was being carried out by Noida Authority — both on the guard room and on the toilets for security guards behind it.
When RWA members of the society took up the matter with officials of Noida Authority, they were told that the civic body did not have enough money to complete the work.
BS Khatti, secretary of the Rajat Vihar RWA, told City Spidey that Noida Authority had also started work on the installation of new gates, repair of park boundary walls and construction of new drains and sewers. "For this, the Authority had an allocated budget of Rs 25 lakh," he said. "But they are saying they don't have money for the completion of the guard room."
When City Spidey contacted SC Gupta, project engineer of Noida Authority, he, however, said the Authority was not authorised to construct guard rooms in any society. "It is the responsibility of the RWA," he added. "The RWA has to take permission from Noida Authority and build a guard room itself."
