Checking Personal Staff
Tutoring them to be Respectful to Neighbours
by Dr. Asha Bakshi
The security and welfare of every resident should take precedence over anything else especially the elderly people and the residents who don’t have staff to protect them.
A situation endangering a senior citizen occurred in our sector. A altercation between the one who had parked in neighbour’s lot got into an aggressive verbal fight with his hands flailing in the face of the senior citizen. The driver even called out to other drivers to come and abuse the senior citizen. I had to intervene in disbelief and initially I was also unable to help. It took me all my inner strength to overcome the fear and stop the verbal abuse from converting into a physical assault on the senior citizen/resident. In context of this I realized we need to make an immediate effort to protect the weak residents of our sector including senior citizens, single people etc. We should have a team of volunteers working with the RWA and the police for the safety of the residents. A few suggestions can help:
1) report any abusive incident to the RWA/ cops and offender’s name written down for further reference. In case there is a repeat offense then stricter action should be taken.
2) All gaurds and drivers/staff should have an id issued by the RWA and records of their residence Aadhaar etc maintained. The names of that staff who have been removed should be noted so that in future we know why some help was fired or asked to go.
3) All staff should be trained in social etiquettes with neighbours. For example not to park outside someone else’s gate unless authorized. Not to litter the roads etc. Maybe RWA office can do once a month class, which should be compulsory for all staff to attend.
4) No guards or staff should gather to gamble or have tea in groups (which leads to other activities like drinking).
5) Staff cannot park their personal vehicles anywhere except in their employers’ premises.
6) Strict action should be taken against any staff misbehaving or littering or gambling etc if there is a complaint or photographic evidence.
