  "account": "Kashmir Singh and his wife Meena Rani, along with other Economically Weaker Section (EWS) dwellers, were recently granted access to their housing complex's central park and common areas in Gurugram. However, the District Registrar of Firms and Societies has once again imposed restrictions on EWS occupants, deferring to the society's registered bye-laws and conveyance deeds. The District Registrar's order, issued in response to the Resident Welfare Association's (RWA) request for modification, mandates that EWS residents cannot be RWA members and have no right to access facilities and services meant for other residents. Despite the RWA's representation arguing that the conveyance deeds and allotment letters exclude the Central Park and other common facilities from EWS property rights, the District Registrar maintains that the restrictions are in accordance with the society's rules. EWS allottees are left to grapple with the reversal, questioning the discrimination and expressing their desire to enjoy a small park near their block or the one maintained by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority.",
