Footpaths are meant to aid pedestrian movement, but not so in Dwarka. Dense wild growth, open manholes and, of course, unattended garbage have rendered the footpaths in the sub-city useless.
Sectors 3,4,7,8,12,13,17,18 and several others bear testimony to the sad truth.
Residents claim that the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) didn’t carry out a clearing out of the footpaths after the rainy season — even though the plants on the central verge along master plan roads were all given a mandatory pruning. Dwarka News
SS Jha, a resident of Sector 4, said, "In Dwarka, the footpaths are of no use. Wild grass, waste, open manholes have made them useless. The footpaths look like jungles now! And the authorities are twiddling their thumbs.”
RWA President of Sector 8, PS Dhunta, said, "The condition is very bad in Sectors 7, 8 and 9. In Sector 8, the stretch from the chowk near the National Institute of Malaria Research to the chowk near Sectors 7 and 9 needs cleaning. I have informed the DDA, but there has been no action on their part."
When City Spidey contacted the DDA officials, they said pruning is happening in the sub-city, and cleaning of footpaths has also begun.
