As the Delhi Assembly elections draw near, the air in Haiderpur and Samaypur Badli is thick with a mix of apprehension and disenchantment. Focused on issues like water scarcity, faulty sanitation, and safety concerns, the residents of these regions face challenges that election promises have yet to resolve.

Daily life here is marked by overcrowded living conditions, open sewage, endless garbage, and a sheer lack of drinkable water. A mechanic named Rakesh voiced widespread concern, noting occasional water tanker arrivals spark quarrels among residents. Political attention has been fleeting, yielding no lasting changes.

Community frustrations extend beyond infrastructure to personal safety. Women and children, like schoolgirls Roshni and Pinky, grapple with frequent street thefts. As the election looms, the community's demand for safe neighborhoods and basic facilities is palpable, yet hope for real progress remains scarce.
