Garbage, pollution add to Dwarka’s woes
Lack of police patrolling and dim street lights makes the last mile connectivity from Dwarka’s Metro stations to housing societies highly unsafe

Dwarka sectors 7 and 8 are sought after addresses for people working in Delhi-NCR due to their connectivity.(Vipin Kumar)
Located in southwest Delhi, close to the domestic and international airport and Gurgaon, Dwarka is an ideal address for people working in any part of Delhi-NCR but keen for an address in the Capital.
As property dealer Rajneesh Garg says, “Though one can buy a house in a much posh location in Gurgaon with a similar circle rate, one prefers Dwarka as good appreciation in property prices in the area is expected in the coming years.”
However, Dwarka scores low on a number of points, say locals, especially when it comes to vacant plots, ill-maintained parks and dumped construction materials (malba) and garbage across lanes and in several areas. Despite several complaints made by local RWAs and residents to SDMC, DDA and Delhi police, the situation has not changed,” says Arvinder Singh Chhatwal, joint secretary, Dwarka Forum and a resident of Dwarka Sector 8.
Lack of police patrolling and dim street lights makes the last mile connectivity from Dwarka’s Metro stations to housing societies highly unsafe. “After 7 pm, it is not a safe walk for women. Police patrolling is minimal in this area. Incidents of bag and chain snatching are common. There are no lights in the service lanes here. However, the RWA members here have written to the local MLA and hope that lights will be installed by next month,” a woman living in Sector 9 who did not want to be named said.
The nearest main market for residents living in sectors 8 and 9 is at Ramphal Chowk in Sector-7, about three kilometers away. “Land earmarked by DDA for a shopping centre for Sector 8 is being used by SDMC for their offices and also for parking of garbage disposal vehicle and dumping of old dustbins,” says Chhatwal.
Though Sector 8 alone has a number of parks, about 50% of these green areas are not maintained and are virtually inaccessible to residents.
House hunters can find numerous options here, with around 23 multi-storey cooperative group housing societies and several DDA flats in Sector 7. Sector 8 was developed by DDA after allotment of around 1,000 residential plots on the outskirts of Bagdola village.
