What's keeping 4,000 residents of Ghaziabad secure? Two guards & a collapsed boundary
Ghaziabad : Residents of Brahmaputra Enclave in Siddharth Vihar have long complained about poor construction and lack of proper water drainage, including an inadequate drainage network in the complex. Problems like seepage and peeling plaster are common in this low-income housing society . On May 6, a section of the boundary wall measuring about 20 feet in length collapsed on the front side of the society. Built by UP Housing and Development Board (UP Avas Vikas) in 2015, the complex has a total of 1,376 flats, of which about 300 are unoccupied. "The height of the boundary wall is about 5.5 feet. The collapse has led to security issues as the entire society along the wall's collapsed stretch is now exposed. To keep a check on the security of the society, two guards were made to sit near the collapsed area separately to monitor all movements," Vipin Kumar, a resident of Brahmaputra Enclave in Siddharth Vihar, Ghaziabad, told to Kumar, the issue occurred due to the poor construction material used in the complex.

While Naresh Bhardwaj, another resident, maintained that the UP Awas Vikas built the complex and is responsible for its upkeep, residents are sceptical, as earlier issues too have remained unaddressed. Officials of the UP Housing and Development Board (UP Awas Vikas) assured reconstruction of the boundary wall as soon as possible. "We have given a notice for the wall reconstruction to the concerned contractor and given a week to respond. If the contractor does not construct the wall, we will build it and recover its cost from the contractor's dues," Vikas Gautam, executive engineer, UP Awas Vikas.
