Residents hope, worry as Kejriwal back in Ghaziabad.

For some in Kaushambi, it is good news that Arvind Kejriwal is back at Girnar Towers, where he had lived till he became chief minister and moved to his official residence in Delhi. But for others, Kejriwal’s return has brought back memories of disruptive early-morning crowds jostling to meet the AAP leader.

Kejriwal’s old associates at Kaushambi, who had once been a part of his civil disobedience campaign against the Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation, are happy to have him back. They say the municipal corporation will now have to push through civic projects in Kaushambi because a top leader is residing here again.
