AAP woos RWAs with security funds

In a fresh pre-poll promise, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said if his party is voted back to power in the February 5 elections he will allocate funds for resident welfare associations across the city for hiring security guards in a bid to keep neighbourhoods safe.

NEW DELHI:

"After the AAP forms the government, funds will be allocated to RWAs to appoint private security guards in their neighbourhoods. These guards will provide basic security to ensure safety. While it is true that no one can replace the police, and we do not intend to do so, these security guards will help maintain basic neighbourhood safety. They will also ensure that unauthorised individuals do not enter the area," he said at a press conference.
