Residents of Sector 49-D have complained of an open ground, which is full of wild grass, to the authorities concerned, but to no avail.

Residents lamented that snakes were often seen crawling in the ground. Even miscreants like those taking drugs hid here, they added. Their complaints to the authorities concerned had fallen on deaf ears, they said.

Gurcharan Gill, a local resident, said, “Residents are troubled due to this jungle type area. What kind of smart city is this? This has become a place where chain snatchers and drug addicts hide. When we complain, workers only do formality by cutting grass in some part of the ground. My one complaint is pending for the last few days.”

Ashwani Moudgil, president, Rose Petals Society, said, “The issue must be resolved immediately. Even electricity cables are dangling on trees in haphazard manner and can lead to mishap. Senior officials should visit this place and do the needful.”

Recently, when Moudgil was walking near this area he stepped on grass, which had a snake underneath it. “Luckily, the snake went away as I stepped on the grass and did not attack me. But, this has become a common problem here,” he added.
