Gurugram RWA warns of Lok Sabha poll boycott over civic disarray

In Gurugram's Sector 38, there is an outcry against civic disarray in this election season. Over 10,000 residents have come forward to declare a boycott of the Lok Sabha elections.

The boycott is being led by the local Resident Welfare Association (RWA). They said that no one is addressing residents' grievances regarding poor road conditions, overflowing sewers and inadequate water supply.

Several banners and posters have also been put up across the sector that read, "No water, no roads, why should we vote?"

RWA president Sajesh Gulia told the Times of India, "There are around 8,000 voters in our sector. We are compelled to take this decision since we are not provided with basic amenities like water, sewer and roads. It is shameful that the sector, which is at a prime location in the city, is suffering for basic services."

Several RWAs across Gurugram have highlighted civic mess as a major issue that they want Lok Sabha candidates to address. However, it is yet to be mentioned in any manifestos or promises.
