Dear Sir,
I don't know what happened to the FIR registered against the office bearers of the concerned RWA in the Noida sisters death case. The MCD guidelines for installation of security gates hold the RWA office bearers accountable and responsible on account of non-functioning of iron security gates in their respective colonies (item 3.q); and now, I don't know how they (govt.) would treat the volunteers nominated by the RWAs to assist the govt officials in issuing the Unique ID cards.
A few days back, on this blog I suggested as to how long we would continue to quietly accept all this. It is time that the Joint Front take up the issue of empowerment of RWAs at the CM level. If someone does not pay the property tax, you threaten to confiscate the property; what can the RWAs do if residents don't pay their subscriptions or co-operate in many other ways? Nothing!

Yes, I agree with Mr. Ram Gupta. The civic bodies are holding RWAs responsible for various acts, but there has been no answer received “what for those, who do not pay the maintenance charges to RWA”
ReplyDeleteRWA official are sacrificing their time for the social cause but a handful of people spoil the total efforts done by them. Moreover only good citizens get burdened for paying the overall cost of the facilities being provided by RWAs. RWA does not have a right to take any legal action against defaulters.
In DDA flats brochure, a clause is mentioned for all allottees to become the member of RWA but nobody is able to tell what action RWA can exercise if someone does not become member of refuses to pay the charges.
There need to be powers for RWA so that they can ensure regular payments from residents for smooth functioning for benefit of the residents in general. Although in a recent case hon’ble court has given direction that all resident must have to pay RWA fees. Let’s hope this decision will help RWA to get things smoothened.

What about that case in which 7 people in a block of 250 houses form an RWA, get it registered and then force everything on the residents and demand money as well. A pure and simple gundagardi!
