The
city authorities had, last month, formed a committee to look into all the
requests of iron gate installations in colonies. The RWA members of Sector-23
were told to follow the rules or face dismantling of gates, said a senior HUDA
official who participated in the meeting.

The HUDA teams had found that
the residents in colonies were keeping the gates closed during the daytime.
Ideally, the colony gates cannot be closed for the general public during daytime
and the residents were told about this violation of the rule. The residents had
claimed that the gates were closed because of security reasons but this is
illogical, said the official.

The HUDA team marked 25 gates which would
be dismantled on January 10 if the RWA overlooked the guidelines of the
authorities. The deputy commissioner, Rajinder Kataria, said: All the
representatives of RWA and DTP will meet to discuss the modalities for allowing
installation of gates in the city. A committee will screen the application to
sort out the location and number of gates in the colony. If the RWA doesnt
follow the rules then the gates will be dismantled.

A senior official of the Town and Country
Planning said: The residents will have to follow the timings because there
are certain gates which are used by a lot of people during the daytime. If these
gates are closed during the day by residents in the name of security, then
action will be taken.

In the past, due to numerous gates in colonies,
the DTP had demolished four gates in Shushant Lok after receiving complaints
from residents. The official said that the gates inside the colonies would be
dismantled too. In many colonies, residents have constructed gates only to block
entry of people from other lanes and areas which is unacceptable. Such gates
will be dismantled, said the official.
