Gurgaon RWA takes over non-mandatory services

March 13, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:34 am IST - GURGAON:

The Nirvana Residents’ Welfare Association has taken over non-mandatory services in Nirvana Country, a township in Sector 50, from the developer.

Nirvana RWA president Sanu Kapila said the residents’ body took over security and power backup from the developer and it was done amicably.

“It is a people-friendly decision of the administration. It never happened before in a plotted colony in Gurgaon. It empowers the residents to make their own choices and pay accordingly. For instance, we can now hire the security services as per our need and the same cannot be forced on us,” said Mr. Kapila.

The grievance of the Nirvana Country RWA was heard in Grievance Committee, chaired by Haryana Agriculture and Irrigation Minister O.P. Dhankar on February 26.

Mandatory services include water supply, drainage, common area lighting, etc., while non-mandatory services include power backup, security, horticulture, to name a few.
