Kanika’s Plea: Urges Authorities to Address Hazardous Tree Threatening Her Home
Kanika, a local resident, stands frustrated beneath a leaning tree outside her house. She recounts the multiple times she has notified authorities about this potential hazard without a response.
“There’s a 50-50 chance of either BJP or AAP winning,” Kanika said. “Whoever comes to power, be it BJP or AAP, my only request is to address the slanting tree outside my house. It could fall at any moment, blocking movement. Because of this, I can’t park my car outside, and my windshield has already broken twice.”

Kanika emphasized the restrictions on cutting the tree, despite her family filing multiple complaints. “It feels like a dead end,” she lamented.
The authorities told her to wait for the tree to fall naturally, dismissing the need to cut it down. She questioned their lack of responsibility: “If the tree falls and injures someone, who will take responsibility?”
She expressed hope for Manjinder Singh Sirsa to win, saying, “He’s a prominent candidate, and I hope he will solve our problems.”

Manjeet Singh Voices Frustrations: Calls for Better Maintenance and Cleanliness in Rajouri Garden
Manjeet Singh, another Rajouri Garden resident, recounts his agony over the garbage and cleanliness issues in the area. “Bindra Park has turned into a garbage dump, with piles of trash left outside the gate for days. It’s so stinky that people can’t even go for morning walks,” he explained.
“Any party that works for us should win,” Manjeet said, expressing his hope for a BJP victory, as he felt AAP had failed to deliver results.

He pointed out the lack of maintenance in the park. “The bathroom remained closed for six months. Even now, if the water overflows or taps stop working, there’s no proper maintenance,” he said.
Manjeet supported Manjinder Singh Sirsa, saying, “He’s a better candidate, and I want him to solve these problems.”
Through Ritik Sharma’s lens, the struggles of Rajouri Garden’s residents come to life. Their stories, marked by frustration and hope, underline the urgent need for responsive governance. As election day approaches, their focus remains clear—action over promises, solutions over slogans.
