The Resident Welfare Association (RWA) of a residential society in Greater Noida has advised its residents to be mindful of their attire while in common areas and park facilities. The circular, issued by the Himsagar Apartment AOA on June 10, received widespread attention on social media. It requested residents not to wear lungis and nighties when outside their flats. However, the notice faced criticism online for attempting to regulate personal choices.
The RWA of Himsagar Society in Phi-2, Greater Noida issued the notice titled “Dress code for walking in the premises of the society.”
“It is expected from all of you that whenever you roam in the society at any time, you should pay special attention to your conduct and dress so that you do not give any chance to someone to object to your behaviour… Therefore, everyone is requested not to roam around wearing lungi and nightie which are home wear,” the notice stated.
RWA President CK Kalra supported the decision, stating, “It is a good decision taken by the society, and everyone must respect it. There is nothing to oppose. If women wear nighties and roam around, that will be uncomfortable for men, and if men wear lungis, that would be uncomfortable for women as well, so we need to respect each other.”
