New Delhi [India], April 15: Addressing the urgent need for improved security measures within residential housing societies, Chairman of Central Association of Private Security Industry has made a formal appeal to the Hon’ble Prime Minister, urging the government to introduce a dedicated fund to support the security needs of Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) across the nation.
He stated, “Security remains a fundamental right and necessity for every citizen. However, many RWAs struggle to collect security charges from their members due to financial constraints and a lack of awareness regarding the importance of professional security services. This often compels them to hire unlicensed and non-compliant private security agencies, inadvertently violating critical labour laws, including the Security Agencies Regulation Act, Employees State Insurance (ESI) Act, Minimum Wage Act, and Provident Fund Regulations.â€
To address these pressing concerns, the proposal outlines key measures that could significantly enhance security standards in residential communities:
- Provision of Targeted Funding – The government should allocate financial resources to assist RWAs in hiring licensed and compliant private security agencies, ensuring the safety of residents.
- Integration into Community Policing Initiatives – Strengthening collaboration between RWAs and state police departments through community policing programs will improve local security measures.
- Enhancing Compliance and Standards – By supporting RWAs financially, security personnel can be hired legally, improving compliance with regulatory laws and enhancing overall security service quality.
- Creating Safe Living Environments – A dedicated security fund will contribute to making residential areas safer, fostering trust among residents, and promoting a secure and harmonious living atmosphere.
CAPSI Chairman Kunwar Vikram Singh said, “Ensuring residential security directly contributes to the broader goal of a prosperous and safe India, in line with the Prime Minister’s vision.
This initiative represents a significant step towards national security and community well-being. By prioritizing the safety of residential areas, the government can uphold its commitment to law and order while fostering a sense of security among citizens.
The proposal urges immediate consideration and action to ensure that residential communities receive the necessary support to maintain a secure living environment for all.
