For years, residents of Palam Vihar (Gurgaon/New Delhi) have been demanding installation of street lights in their locality, but the Govt. of Haryana hasn't taken any steps to ensure street lights in the area.

Roads are dark and lack visibility post sunset, specially when it's raining and during winters. Street lights are important to reduce crime and ensure our safety and security especially women and children.

There are enough mentions of crime in this area, thefts, chain snatching, carkacking and many more. Residents are tired of trying to reach out to local authorities, who make false promisesand take no action.

The recent 'Delhi Gang Rape' has revealed many inefficiencies in the system, after such cases, all authorities are expected to work proactively for their areas, but sadly the authorities have shown no interest to safe guard women in this area.

As a Palam Vihar resident request you to sign my petition telling the Chie Secretary of Hayana to install street lights in the area and help Palam Vihar residents lead a safe life.
