GURUGRAM: Badshapur MLA Rao Narbir Singh asked officials from MCG, GMDA, DTCP and DHBVN to ensure timely resolution of grievances.
Speaking at a meeting in Sector 108, which saw participation of 32 RWAs of sectors off the Dwarka Expressway, the minister said his first goal was to eliminate corruption as residents raised civic issues such as poor road conditions, inadequate drainage, lack of streetlights, road dust, and encroachment. They also demanded that the CCTV surveillance network in sectors 99 to 115 be expanded and bus services to Delhi be started.
“Directions were issued on the spot for several grievances, and officials were ordered to set clear timelines for unresolved matters,” Rao said.
While acknowledging errors in the generation of property IDs, he stressed the need for individuals to self-certify their documents without any delay and settle their dues. As an incentive, he announced development work worth Rs 10 lakh for any society that achieves an 80% compliance rate in property tax payments
“It is through these funds that the govt can accelerate development in your areas and ensure better public services,” he said, adding that residents’ suggestions would be considered in future planning.
Among the major issues highlighted during the meeting was incomplete and poorly maintained 24-metre internal sector roads, which are essential for connectivity in many societies. According to the Gurgaon-Manesar Master Plan 2031, these roads are to be made and maintained by their respective developers.
“Most development happens in the new sectors; however, developers don’t take responsibility for maintenance and construction of 24-metre roads. This remains a challenge. Residents are forced to commute on unpaved roads despite paying EDC and IDC. The govt needs to bring out a clear policy on this and hold the responsible parties accountable,” said a resident.
Pradeep Parashar of Experion Heartsong said, “For the last five years, both GMDA and MCG have been unable to decide the jurisdiction of a 60m stretch of 24m road.” Following discussions, MCG agreed to take responsibility for the road and assured action. Societies such as Indiabulls Centrum Park, Raheja Vedanta, Brisk Lumbini, and Satya Hermitage also raised concerns about 24m roads.
Meanwhile, M3M Woodshire president Swaraj Verma complained of inadequate water supply and said their society was dependent on water tankers. “Society members end up spending around Rs 30 lakh every quarter on this basic necessity,” he said. To this, GMDA officials said 450 KLD of water was sanctioned to the society, but 350 KLD was being stolen by locals.
MLA Rao directed GMDA to seek police assistance to curb theft and ensure adequate water supply to all societies.
Another participant, Anil Hooda of Sobha International City, said there was a need to tackle encroachments proactively. “Action needs to be taken now, before this becomes a major nuisance,” he said.
