The Residents Welfare Association (RWA) of Sector-46 in Gurugram has started an initiative to improve the lives of the residents in the area by providing free
Wi-Fi, installing 20 CCTV cameras and also a community library.
The free Wi-Fi will be provided in the three parks of Sector-46 to all the residents for the duration of one hour.
Facing a major challenge of rising cases of robbery, the RWA was prompted to install more than 20 CCTV cameras in their sector.
An amount of Rs 10 lakh has been spent in the installation of the CCTV cameras.
To make sure it can be expanded further investment has been made in optic fibre cables for the CCTV's.
A sum of Rs 5 lakh was also spent on setting up of the community library by the welfare body where amount has been spent on getting proper seating, books and installation of water cooler for the readers.
"Residents participation in the development of their areas today holds a key for a city like Gurugram that is facing multiple challenges.
"Even though we are dependent on the government agencies for setting up proper sewage system, roads and proper street lighting, the rising urban challenges demand that even residents have to step in for carrying out development in their areas," said Raj Kumar Yadav, President of Sector -46 RWA.
The Sector -46 RWA now plans to enhance the green cover in their area and have begun the process of removing illegal encroachments in their area.
Most of the citizen bodies are contributing their own financial resources in laying roads, enhancing better street lighting, security and cleanliness in their areas and have lost their hopes on the public
