“We will win the DND toll-free fight in Allahabad high court and now the matter is going to the Supreme Court. We have opened gyms in the park of the sector, city RWAs maintain their sector very well, chowki in-charge started meeting the RWA member to maintain the law and order in the sector,” he said.

When City Spidey spoke to Singh about his agenda, he said getting the Noida Authority to convert lease hold to free hold property and laying underground electrical wiring were high on his agenda. He said he would request the UP government to set up a high quality bus stand in Noida and also work hard to improve the law and order situation.

Sukhdev Sharma, who is contesting first time in FONRWA election, banked on the feeling of change entertained by many residents. He said he was confident of getting the support of all RWAs in the poll. "Old FONRWA body work is appreciative but now some young energy should come into play. FONRWA is mother body of all RWAs of the city and we will work for all the residents,” he added.

He said he was very concerned about poor traffic management in city, deteriorating law and order situation and strengthening civic amenities. The most pressing need is to improve law and order situation, for which he will demand increasing strength of police personnel in the area.

“After winning the election our first work is to instal the water treatment plant for the sector, from which the residents will get clean drinking water,” he said adding he will work closely with Noida Authority officials for overall improvement of the city.
