GURGAON: In the first such order, the deputy commissioner on Thursday authorized the transfer of non-mandatory services in Nirvana Country, a township in Sector 50, from the developer to the RWA. According to the order, services such as power back-up and security should be transferred to the RWA with immediate effect. Mandatory services include water supply, drainage, common area lighting, etc while non-mandatory services are those like power backup, security and horticulture, to name a few.
Deputy commissioner T L Satyaprakash told TOI empowering residents` bodies made sense. "I think it is the developer`s responsibility to provide services. They should transfer responsibility to the RWA if the residents are not satisfied with the services provided by them," Satyaprakash said.
Appreciating the prompt action, Sanu Kapila, president of Nirvana Residents` Welfare Association (NRWA), said, "It`s a historic order. We have been demanding the transfer of services so that they can be maintained in a better manner with the active involvement of the residents." The NRWA, which has been raising the issue with the authorities for years, had taken it up during a grievances meeting with agriculture minister O P Dhankar last week.
