Residents of Sushant Lok Gurgaon move Court as Builder dismantles Gate
Sushant Lok was developed by Ansals. The residents of the colony, Block E, got a rude shock on Tuesday evening, when the private builder had the gate dismantled which was installed by them without their approval. To beef up security, the residents had collected Rs 50,000 for the gate sometime back. There have been incidents of thefts and burglary in the area which prompted the residents to install the gate.
The installation of the gate has become a full-fledged controversy since the beginning. “Immediately after the gate was installed, the street lights of the E block were switched off but the matter was resolved when all the residents complained.
Last month, the residents had pooled in money to install the gate at their own expense, as they felt that it would beef up the security of the area. The residents claimed that while earlier the police had supported their demand for installing the gate, they were silent on the issue now. “We reported this incident to the police, but, so far, there has been no response from them,” said a resident.
The RWA president, Joginder Singh, said: “We have taken up the issue in a city court. The court has clearly ordered that the area should be converted into a green belt but instead of following the court order, the gate has been demolished.” He added, “The RWA will be moving a separate application seeking contempt proceedings against the builder in court for dismantling of the gate.” He said that the residents were well within their rights to install the gate for their own security. “The residents are even willing to hire security staff for the gate and also to keep the gate open till midnight. No one should have any problem but it is becoming a legal battle now,” said Singh.
The residents have now approached the court and the next date for the hearing of the case is on July 18. An executive of the developer, said: “The residents have no permission to install gate on their own. The right of other residents can not be taken away by E block residents.”
