Residents' welfare associations (RWAs) in Noida recently met with officials from the Noida Authority to address pending repair works of roads, drains, sewers, parks, water supply, and electricity. The general secretary of the RWA in Sector 51, Blocks C to F, submitted a request to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to halt various commercial activities operating from rented accommodations, including paying guest facilities, hotels, guest houses, banquet halls, offices, nursing homes, and schools.
Security Concerns Raised
Sanjeev Kumar, the RWA general secretary, expressed to officials that commercial establishments such as hotels and guest houses pose a significant security risk. He highlighted that the proliferation of such institutions has made it increasingly difficult for security guards at sector gates to monitor visitors entering the area.
Delegation Meets Senior Officials
A delegation led by the Federation of Noida Residents Welfare Associations met with senior Authority officials, including General Managers AK Arora and RP Singh, and Horticulture Director Anand Mohan Singh, at the federation office in Sector 52. The federation's secretary general, KK Jain, emphasized the need for prompt resolution of urgent community problems.
22-Point Memorandum Submitted
In a separate meeting, members of the District Development Residents Welfare Association met with Noida Authority CEO Krishna Karunesh and submitted a 22-point memorandum. Key demands included immediate repairs of damaged roads and cleaning of drains, ensuring potable drinking water supply, halting unauthorized commercial activities in residential sectors, introducing public bus services, establishing a Grievance and Vigilance Cell, shifting overhead power lines, and improving road engineering. Additional issues raised were converting leasehold properties to freehold status, enhancing fire safety measures in community halls, installing large display boards outlining dog policy regulations, and providing drinking water facilities in parks.
Assurances from Noida Authority
Both meetings underscored a commitment from the Noida Authority to address the community's concerns. Officials assured that pending works, such as road repairs, would commence within the current month.
