Residents Demand Action After Spate of Thefts in New Sunny Enclave
Bharatmorningnews.com – Residents of New Sunny Enclave in Sector 125 approached the Sadar Kharar police station on Sunday, demanding immediate action following a spate of thefts and burglary attempts in the past 10 days. Led by Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA) president Pavitar Pal Singh Brar, they submitted a memorandum to the station house officer, Gurpreet Singh, urging the police to strengthen security and curb the rising incidents of crime in the locality.
The community has been particularly vocal about their concerns, with many residents expressing frustration over the frequency of criminal activities. According to the RWA, several thefts and break-ins have been reported in the colony over the past fortnight, with many incidents captured on CCTV cameras. The association also handed over the footage and details of the incidents to the police for further investigation.
Recent Incidents Raise Safety Concerns
Another theft was reported on Sunday morning, and a separate incident was reported in the lane behind Avian Medicare. These incidents have added to the growing list of complaints from residents who feel increasingly vulnerable in their own neighborhood. The RWA further pointed out that during a gas cylinder theft on July 29, suspects allegedly knocked down a security guard with a motorcycle while fleeing. The guard reportedly remained unconscious for about 30 minutes after the collision, further heightening concerns over safety in the area.
“We have been living in fear for the past two weeks,” said one resident who wished to remain anonymous. “Every day brings news of another theft or attempted burglary. We need the police to take this seriously and ensure our safety.”
RWA president Pavitar Pal Singh Brar said the recurring thefts have created fear among residents, making them feel insecure even when stepping out of their homes. He urged the police to arrest those responsible at the earliest and enhance patrolling and security measures in the area. The association has also requested the installation of additional CCTV cameras and the deployment of more security personnel in the locality.
Local residents have been calling for a meeting with the police commissioner to discuss long-term solutions to the problem. Many have suggested implementing a neighborhood watch program and increasing the frequency of police patrols during nighttime hours. The community is also exploring options for installing automated gates and improving lighting in common areas to deter criminals.

The memorandum submitted to the police station outlines several specific demands from the residents. These include the immediate arrest of suspects involved in recent thefts, increased police presence in the area, and the establishment of a dedicated helpline for reporting incidents. Residents have also requested that the police conduct regular checks on the CCTV footage to identify patterns and suspects.
