Residents man Gurugram society gates as guards go on strike over pay

The RWA alleged that it was the 27th time over the last 16 months that either the security staff or the housekeeping personnel had gone on strike for the same reason. There are around 700 families living in the residential complex developed by Sare Homes.

Residents of Sare Homes society in Sector 92 were forced to man the gates of their complex for over two hours on Thursday after the security guards deployed by the maintenance agency went on a strike to protest against the delay in payment of salary.

The RWA alleged that it was the 27th time over the last 16 months that either the security staff or the housekeeping personnel had gone on strike for the same reason. There are around 700 families living in the residential complex developed by Sare Homes.

“As over 50 security guards went on strike, residents had to man the gates for two hours,” Praveen Malik, president, RWA, said.

However, Sare Homes, the developer, claimed that all issues pertaining to payments have been resolved. “We have already transferred the entire amount to the maintenance agency and the matter has been resolved, ” Mayuri Agarwal, who heads the customer relationship management department of Sare Homes, said.

RS Bhath, district town planner, said that once a complaint is filed in his office, he would take up the matter with the maintenance agency and the developer.
