The Charter prepared by the Citizens Forum draws attention to the critical issues faced by residents of Gurgaon and calls upon all contesting candidates to commit in a transparent way to resolving these issues. The Charter lists 11 areas that require urgent attention to make Gurgaon liveable and reverse the crisis situation facing citizens. These 11 areas are the Aravalis, health, education, urban planning, water, waste, air pollution, governance, police, women’s safety and social inclusion and harmony. The Charter lists a set of demands in each of these areas that the electoral candidates will be asked to take a stand on.
The Charter has been prepared through an exhaustive consultation process that involved urban town planners, environmentalists, water and waste experts, lawyers, health and education activists and practitioners, gender rights activists, governance experts, civic and road safety advocates, trade unions, social inclusion advocacy groups, communication strategists, and many others.The Citizens Forum also announced the launch of a social media campaign and a series of on ground meetings to be held in both the constituencies with residents.
