NOIDA: A group of residents from
Greater Noida under the banner of Active Citizens Group met excise and prohibition
minister Jai Pratap Singh, the incharge minister for Gautam Budh Nagar, on Friday to apprise him of residents’ issues.
Earlier on Thursday evening, the RWA federation had also met Singh to discuss a host of pending
civic issues.
“We had a half-an-hour meeting with minister Jai Pratap Singh at the collectorate in Surajpur where we sought resolution on common pending issues concerning residents. These include upgrading the district to a police commissionerate with additional personnel to check crimes, recognition of RWAs, representation for FONRWA in Noida Authority board, separate maintenance division under Noida Authority, treatment of solid waste management, conversion of all property in Noida to freehold and quality drinking water. On February 1 also we had raised these issues with the minister when he had come to visit the district. But since no action was taken after that, we apprised him again on Thursday and urged for concrete steps,” said A N Dhawan, secretary general,
Federation of Noida Residents Welfare Association (FONRWA).
“Minister Jai Pratap Singh noted our plea and assured to take up the matter with the state government,” added Dhawan.
Singh also assured the federation that he will soon facilitate a meeting of RWAs with Authority CEO
Alok Tandon to sort out the delay in
civic redress.
