GURGAON: Since 2011, the city’s population is thought to have higher at the charge of 1.four lakh other folks a yr to touch 25 lakh recently. But the federal government has not been able to deploy enough policemen to deal with law and order.
Police commissioner Sandeep Khirwar is, then again, hopeful that three new police stations for the new sectors, being developed in collaboration with GMDA, will help strengthen policing in areas alongside SPR and Dwarka Expressway.
In November closing yr, Sushil Kumar, a resident of Sector 110, was driving down the primary internal highway when a bunch of guys tried to forestall him in what he feared was a carjacking strive. “I turned my automobile around and sped away. Had I finished, they might have crushed me up and robbed me of all I had,” mentioned Kumar. He filed a web based complaint, only to stand another such strive a few weeks later.
Some months ahead of that, in July, a household help was stopped, groped and assaulted through six males outside a residential society in Sector 69. Though she managed to flee their clutches with a bruised ear, locals claimed such incidents are frequent in this part of the city, essentially sectors alongside the Dwarka expressway.
That same month, three inebriated males, it appears peeved a few long outage within the locality, had created a ruckus at the premises of Vatika India Next, a plotted colony in Sector 82. They blocked the gate even as around 70 residents have been compelled to wait outside the society in their cars for hours.
“There are inebriated other folks strolling and driving around at all times, but I haven’t seen a unmarried cop patrolling the realm in months. To make things worse, liquor stores are bobbing up like mushrooms in all places,” mentioned Zaheer Abbas, a resident of Sector 58, mentioned.
And with out a public delivery instead of shared autos the place 15 or extra passengers are packed together within the decrepit three-wheelers, commuting isn’t easy for residents of new sectors, particularly ladies. “There isn't any public delivery within the new sectors. Hence, we need to rely on shared autos, which are not safe. I read about a woman being raped and her eight-month-old girl being thrown out of a transferring auto in newspapers a couple of months in the past… she was travelling in a shared auto around nighttime (on May 29 closing yr),” mentioned Rima Bajaj, a resident of Sector 82.
There are three police stations — Sector 37, Kherki Daula and Rajinder Nagar — to deal with law and order in sectors 80-115 alongside Dwarka expressway. But resources pointed out the available manpower was simply not enough to police those huge areas and take a look at crimes.
“Sector 37 police station, which was opened around a yr in the past, is running with part the sanctioned manpower, that too with many workforce borrowed from within sight police stations,” claimed a supply.
Policing the new sectors alongside Southern Peripheral Expressway and Dwarka expressway well is among the greatest challenges for the state govt for the reason that image in the rest of the city does not inspire much confidence. Between 2011 and these days, the city is thought to have added a minimum of 10 lakh other folks to its population (its current population, according to the district management’s estimates, is around 25 lakh). That’s a median of 1.four lakh other folks coming to live within the town each yr since 2011.
In sharp distinction, the choice of policemen within the town has inched up from 3,387 in 2011 to four,335 in 2018, a total increase of around 1,000 workforce. It is well short of the sanctioned strength of 6,661 which in itself is grossly insufficient for a all of a sudden expanding town like Gurgaon.
The drawback lies, residents declare, within the Gurgaon-Manesar Master Plan 2030. “In 2007, when the master plan was conceived to double the size of the city and bring another 15 lakh other folks below its fold, it was not connected with any plan to increase the choice of police stations for new areas,” mentioned Amit Saxena, a resident of Sector 70. “Sectors 58 to 76 alongside Southern Peripheral Road come below Badshapur police station, which is obviously suffering to take on the situation,” he added.
Sandeep Srivastava, a resident of Sector 82, added, “The new sectors are missing in lots of facets; safety being the prime worry. No night time patrolling, no police-resident assembly and confusion over jurisdiction are making things worse. If Gurgaon is a neglected child of Haryana, new sectors are nobody’s baby.”
Gurgaon police commissioner Sandeep Khirwar admitted the law-and-order situation within the new sectors was a concern. Most of these areas are growing and are surrounded through large chunks of open land, which allow rogue elements to commit a criminal offense and disappear.
“We have written to the state govt, in search of acclaim for a police station in Sector 65. We also are making ready similar proposals for Sector 58 and Vatika City,” Khirwar mentioned, including the proposed police stations can be developed in affiliation with Gurgaon Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA).
