Over the years, Sector 41 has become overpopulated and popular due to its location. It connects Sector 50 (the main market) and another sector (housing 3 temples and Central Park).
The sector consists of various sizes of plots and spreads across the main Dadri road to Police Post Sector 39. On the side facing Dadri road, the sector merges with Agahpur, a village that houses domestic helpers and now accommodates multiple commercial activities due to its strategic location. The village and the sector have made the area very busy and crowded. There is a temple that connects Agahpur village and Sector 41, which has multiple gates. Due to the increasing occupancy in Sector 41, the number of vehicles has increased significantly. The roads, which were planned to ensure smooth traffic flow for the residents, now seem narrow as the sides of the roads and the ramps in front of the houses are being used for parking. It was still acceptable if the house owners were using the space, but the main road dividing the sector has become a nuisance for the residents. Yes, we are talking about the lane that connects the gate near the Sanatan Temple and Sector 41 market. Since the gates on both sides are open, the lane has become a thoroughfare. People from neighboring sectors find it easy to enter from the gate (opposite Goodwill Hospital building) to go to the Sector 41 or 50 market. There have been incidents of accidents due to rash driving. Children are not safe in the lane, and unwanted elements go unchecked. The commuters also find it difficult to walk. The lanes inside the sector are meant to make the life of the residents easy, but this does not seem to be the case. Vehicles going to the market are found parked in the lane, outside the houses near the gate opening on the main market road. The discomfort of the residents, particularly in the contentious lane and the entire sector, escalates during temple functions. Due to poor traffic conditions, the property value of the houses has declined. Earlier, the Millennium School gate was open, and the traffic flow was divided, but the situation has worsened over time. The Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA) needs to address the issue on a priority basis and find a permanent solution. Merely manning the gate will not solve the problem. The gate opposite the Goodwill Hospital building (soon to be operational) has to have a barrier. Vehicles with valid stickers should be allowed to enter. The grass and weeds on both sides of the gate need regular cleaning and trimming to ensure that vehicles can see the turn clearly. It is a narrow gate, and the turn is sharp, which often leads to a jam-like situation. The RWA should find an alternative to the gate opening near the market to prevent the lane from becoming a thoroughfare. Signboards can be put up near the gate, asking/requesting outside vehicles not to use the sector lanes and instead use the main roads to avoid congestion inside the sector. Some strict and quick measures are needed to make the lives of our residents safe, secure, and peaceful. There are all sorts of temporary structures near the temple gate outside. They include pan and cigarette vendors, an alteration tailor, food stalls, and tea stalls, among others. These attract all kinds of people, posing a threat to safety. Additionally, frequent incidents of road rage occur due to rash driving in this area. I hope the RWA looks into this matter urgently.
