Sec 93, Noida: The recently elected AOA is set to raise residents’ concerns regarding basic amenities in the society.
The AOA of Express View Apartments (Super MIG), a residential society in Sector 93, Noida, approached Saumya Srivastava, deputy CEO of Noida Authority, recently and urged him to visit the society. The association has enlisted 22 issues in the society that residents are concerned about, and intends to present them to the CEO.
Sujeet Pandey, president of the AOA, told City Spidey, “It was poor planning on the part of the Authority due to which the society's basic facilities are in a mess. It built a huge society years ago but failed to provide proper maintenance.”
The society houses around 1,000 flats and has over 5,000 residents. Residents say that amenities such as parks, streetlights and electrical infrastructure are in a state of neglect.
Safety tops the list of residents’ demands. Residents say that the boundary walls that had collapsed due to rains in previous monsoon have not been constructed. The broken boundary walls is an open invitation to miscreants who conduct recce in the area. According to residents, 70 bicycles have been stolen from the society in the past few months.
Maintenance of parks is another concern. The plants and grass have dried up for want of water and manure. The AOA also wants to convert one of the parks into a swimming pool to help residents cope up with the summer season.
The residents’ body wants speed breakers at entry and exit gates to curb rash driving. The list also includes the demand for a commercial complex in the society.
Residents say the electrical infrastructure of the society, such as electricity panel boxes, also needs attention and that the Authority should look into it to avoid any incident of electrocution.
“Due to the deteriorated state of facilities, many residents have sold their properties and have shifted to other localities. The Authority should look into our problems now,” Pandey said.
He added that the society did not have a residents’ body for two years and residents had also not approached the Authority over basic amenities.
