The RWAs of Sector 35, 38, 50, and 51 mentioned miscreants gathered in the back of the curtain of tall grass at night time and fed on alcohol. “When we name police, the law enforcement officials come blowing their siren, which alerts these criminals they usually slip away,” a resident mentioned. Ward 19 councillor Dalip Sharma: “We have a large chunk of land lined with wild grass, which I propose must be cleared. However, the officials whom I contacted told me to means the Chandigarh Administration and its horticulture department.”
Rajesh Kumar of Ward 7 mentioned he wanted to get a patch of land in Maloya cleared of garbage and wild grass however he was once knowledgeable that it belonged to the UT Administration. Residents of Sector 50 and 51 mentioned that had no respite even after a large slum, Colony Number five, had been removed from the land. The area still belongs to the Chandigarh Administration and has turn into thick with timber and a hideout of anti-social parts at night time.
During a seek advice from to Sector 51, a TOI workforce discovered holes in the fence across the vacated land, which means that miscreants will have to be sneaking into the realm from these points. Grass has been cleared off a couple of patches within, which means that the land is in use. Residents complained to the civic authorities time and again however it isn't the latter’s jurisdiction.
New Light Housing Society normal secretary Sangeeta Lekhi mentioned: “Even even though the authorities have fenced the vacated land, outsiders are available at late hours and sit down there ingesting. This has turn into a favourite spot of criminals, as no policeman ever comes in to check. The housing society were given some little bit of the wild grass cleared for the protection of the citizens, women especially, but the infiltrators in finding new dens in the area.”
