According to S S Chatwal, General Secretary, Dwarka Forum, “Such interactions are much welcome and should be held regularly. They would help in controlling encroachments of public property, which is a big nuisance in Dwarka”. According to Subhash Yadav, a resident, the issues of illegal parking, should be tackled as also the issue of alcohol consumption in public drinking which causes a lot of nuisance to the public. Vir Singh and Rakesh Kumar, residents suggested that traffic management and unauthorised parking and rash driving should be checked regularly.
