Dwarka’s Sector 7 is in a mess as far as civic infrastructure is concerned. Paucity of parking space, encroachments, dark, unlit roads and public drinking are some of the major concerns.
Incidentally, the RWAs have been active in apprising MLAs about these issues. They have organised meetings with area representatives requesting prompt redressal; letters have also been written to civic agencies.
The latest RWA endeavour has been a meeting with Bhavna Gaur, MLA of the area, at Dwarka Apartments, Sector 7.
The coordinator of RWA Sector 7 and a resident of Shruti Apartments, Anurag Bahl, said, “Our meeting largely focused on the nuisance created by the wine and beer shop at Vardhman Mall, and the encroachments and parking issues in the markets around Ramphal Chowk. These things have created a lot of nuisance in the area, affecting residents of nearby societies."
According to the RWAs and members of various managements, most of the stretches in the sector are dark. Nearly 60-70 per cent of streetlights are not working.
Secretary of the Media society, PP Wangchuk, said, “We have discussed all the problems with the MLA. We have asked her to provide CCTV cameras at major locations in the sector, especially because the Delhi government has allocated CCTV cameras for each assembly in Delhi. Also, we asked her to support all development work, inside and outside the society, through the MLALAD fund. She has assured us that she will comply with our requests.”
