TRIBUNE PHOTO: PRADEEP TEWARI Residents put up barricades to discourage ‘gedi’ lovers Deepankar Sharda Tribune News Service Chandigarh, December 17 Fed up with “gedis” by youngsters on their swanky cars around MCM DAV College for Women, Sector 36, local residents have partially blocked streets by putting up barricades to discourage the youth from creating a nuisance in the area. The House Owners Welfare Association, Sector 36, has put up nearly seven barricades at the entrance to streets. “It’s a torture. This was the only way to tackle the problem. Youngsters used to park their vehicles outside our homes, and sit with their friends in the nearby parks. Some would keep taking ‘gedis’ causing chaos right outside our homes,” said Parmider Kaur, who lives in the street next to the main road. These “gedi” lovers do rounds of the area not only during the college hours but also in the evening, said the residents. Mostly ex-servicemen, bureaucrats and businessmen live in the area and many residences have paying guest facility for girls. “This is a great initiative by the local organisation. My house, which is located at the end of the street, was affected the most by the youngsters doing “gedis” in their cars playing loud music. I would suggest one-way entry to the residential lanes and offenders be fined, at least, Rs 2,000. The police should take an initiative,” said Col HS Gill, another resident. “Mostly the elderly and retired people live in the area. A large number of vehicles coming to the area without any motive trouble them a lot. These youngsters would drive cars at high speed, keep honking and play loud music. We have written to the authorities concerned about this nuisance,” said Sanjiv DP Azad, an IRS officer. Meanwhile, youngsters said the barricades were totally unnecessary. “If the local residents are having some problem, they should demand making the streets one-way or completely shut these,” said Amit, who visits the area to drop her sister at the college. Earlier, the police had launched drives to stop youngsters from taking “gedis” on the main road. c m y b PARTLY CLOUDY MAX 24°C | MIN 6°C YESTERDAY MAX 23.9°C | MIN 6.6°C SUNSET WEDNESDAY 5.26 PM SUNRISE THURSDAY 7.13 AM » JONITA MAKING WAVES WITH REMIX NOORIE INSIDE /THETRIBUNECHD Dhillon concert venue shifted from Sector 34 to Sec 25 FORECAST FACEBOOK/CHANDIGARHTRIBUNE
