In an unprecedented move, citizens from across all sections of Gurgaon came together to release a Citizens’ Charter of Demands for the forthcoming Haryana Assembly elections in the Badshahpur and Gurgaon constituencies, calling upon all contesting candidates to commit to resolving 11 critical issues: the Aravallis, health, education, urban planning, water, waste, air pollution, governance, policing, women’s safety, and senior citizens. The Charter, titled “Baaki Chhodo, Gurgaon Ki Bolo!” (Forget the rest, talk about Gurgaon!), was prepared by the Citizens Forum and became one of the most cited pre-election civic documents in the city’s history.
