- A South Delhi resident’s message on gate security went viral on X with mixed reactions
- The resident criticized guards for failing to stop trespassers and called for accountability
- The post sparked debate on social media about privilege, entitlement, and security concerns
A message shared in a South Delhi residents' WhatsApp group has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), sparking mixed reactions. It was reportedly sent by a resident who was engaging in a conversation that apparently addressed the security concerns in the area. They wrote, "Keeping gates closed would only create trouble for vehicles, mostly residents. It will not deter trespassers."
"The solution in my mind is to make the guards accountable for unidentified interlopers and take decisive action in case of consistent failing," they added.
"This, I'm afraid, has not happened in spite of residents flagging the issue multiple times. I am not obliged to fund 'poor people's livelihoods' who do not act in my interest. That's as clearly as I can put it."

Social Media Reaction
The viral post reached over 65,300 online users, with hundreds of them liking it. It also sparked a heated debate on privilege and entitlement. Some users criticised the message's tone and said that the person shouldn't have targeted the guards like that. While others defended the message, arguing the resident was simply highlighting security concerns and the need for accountability.
"Just because you pay a tiny fraction of your own salary for society maintenance doesn't give you the right to treat people like shit," one user wrote in the comment section.
"What did the person said wrong? The person is paying and every step of a leisure and secure life then they should get it. If a security guard is hire for such things and is incompetent then they should get fired," said another.
"100% right, this is India, not Europe, nowhere is safe and such safety measures are necessary," a third said
