“Hundreds of cattle can be seen in our wards, which not only create problems for the people but for the commuters also. Accidents take place in this ward on regularly due to movement of the cattle”, Sonu Sharma, a resident of this ward said.
“We face numerous issues during morning and evening walks in the parks. The parks should be developed for the benefit of masses especially children”, a group of morning walkers said.
“The insanitary condition in our ward required immediate attention as it is the issue to be addressed on priority due to fear of breaking out of health related problems”, another resident said, adding that more manpower is required to tackle this insanitary issue.
Construction of roads is also an issue, which the residents of this ward faced. “Immediate construction of roads is required in our ward and we hope that this issue will be resolved in the shortest possible time”, Ritu Gupta, a resident said.

Regarding the development of the parks, Singh, a BJP leader, said that in his ward, there are 22 parks and around 18 parks needs to be developed.
“I will get the parks renovated through Floriculture Department in the shortest possible time with all facilities including tracks for morning and evening walkers, washrooms, etc.
On the subject of insanitary conditions, he said that a check will be kept on the working of Safai Karamchari and every tool will be provided to them to keep the Ward neat and clean.
The Corporator admitted that construction of roads is required in his ward. The issue will be taken up with the Public Works Department and construction work of roads will start in a very short time.
For the overall development of the Ward, the funds, which will be released in favour of Corporator will be utilised, Singh informed.
