RWA Meet for Citizen Charter 2019
October 5, 2019
In an unprecedented move citizens from across all sections of Gurgaon came
together to release a Citizens’ Charter of Demands for the forthcoming assembly elections of
the two constituencies of Badshahpur and Gurgaon and have called upon the contesting candidates
to make a commitment to address each of these demands – बाकी छोड़ो, गुड़गाँव की बोलो!
The Charter prepared by the Citizens Forum draws attention to the critical issues faced
by residents of Gurgaon and calls upon all contesting candidates to commit in a transparent way to resolving
these issues. The Charter lists 11 areas that require urgent attention to make Gurgaon liveable and reverse
the crisis situation facing citizens. These 11 areas are the Aravalis, health, education, urban planning,
water, waste, air pollution, governance, police, women’s safety and social inclusion and harmony. The
Charter lists a set of demands in each of these areas that the electoral candidates will be asked to take a stand on.
The Charter has been prepared through an exhaustive consultation process that involved urban town
planners, environmentalists, water and waste experts, lawyers, health and education activists and
practitioners, gender rights activists, governance experts, civic and road safety advocates, trade unions,
social inclusion advocacy groups, communication strategists, and many others.The Citizens Forum also announced
the launch of a social media campaign and a series of on ground meetings to be held in both the constituencies
with residents. The social media campaign will take this Charter to each and every voter and also request them
to articulate their demands through photographs, videos and text messages. The campaign will serve as a channel
for citizens concerns to be voiced and heard during this election process.
