Representatives of about 90 RWA's attended this meeting. Chairman Hitesh Puri raised following issues during meeting with Mr Chahal.
• Police team should visit residence of senior citizens living along at regular intervals (at-least once in a month) for taking care of their well-being.
• Many-fold increase in crime graph in Chandigarh in recent times has shattered the peace of mind of residents of Chandigarh. People of Chandigarh want to know what shall be the modus operandi of Chandigarh Police for curbing the rising crime in city.
• There is big problem of unauthorized vendors selling daily need items unchecked in city. They do not adhere to any norms (like selling fruit/vegetables on rates fixed by Mandi Board) maintaining hygiene at their place, nor do they follow any health guidelines issued by Chandigarh Administration. It becomes duty of the Chandigarh Police also to take strict action on such unauthorized vendors. Police should take legal action against vendors who are selling products without valid licence.
• Regular monthly meetings must be held between members of Resident Welfare Associations and the SHO/Chowki In-charge. This is a long pending demand of all RWA’s. This will help both ways maintaining healthy relationship, keeping check on local crime, maintaining peace and harmony among residents.
• Other members who raised various law and order issues of their respective issues included Office bearers of RWAs.
