Hai Ye Gurgaon Meri Jaan

 Thankfully the postponed Grievance Redressal Meeting on the issues faced by residents has been held this week. It is good to see the DC (Shekhar Vidyarthi) taking this matter seriously. After years at least someone in the Administration has talked tough, straight and legal with errant and arrogant builders. The RWAs that were heard this time were from Ardee City 1, Mayfield Gardens, Parsvnath Exotica and Uppal Southend. The DC not only read out the riot act (and literally the Societies Act) to the builders but also asked for a status report within a week. A team led by Senior Town Planner will undertake the survey. The DC has even threatened the builders with criminal action if they do not act now, to provide the basic civic facilities and services in their ‘colonies’.


A delay in the monsoon has caused 50% of the water meant for Gurgaon to be stolen along the way – from the Gurgaon Water Supply canal. A new NCR Water Canal is being built for future requirements. However, the assumption/requirement is that 70% of this (NCR) canal’s water will go to Gurgaon. Given the realpolitik of the State, it was always an ambitious ‘target’. It now looks not doable. There will always be too many villages and takers – all with more political clout - along the 70km way. 


The first major rain this month leads to hours’ long traffic jams and the inundation of roads and bylanes. Over to 2015 now…


This week a water pipeline bursts on Sohna Road, spilling thousands of litres, before being ‘capped’. This is the fourth major bursting of a major pipeline in the past 2 weeks. They say the force of the water was
too strong!


On the power front, it is learnt that the current infrastructure can handle a max. of 1700MW, less than even today’s requirement. And even this infrastructure is down most of the time – this week, hundreds of feeders go ‘down’. Some colonies suffer 20-hour
power cuts.


The operation of a traffic light at the Hero Honda Chowk has finally been found ‘impractical’ - the Police had known this all along, and the Administration had provided this as a ‘token’. Meanwhile, the decade-long issue festers. 


Gurgaon girl Shivani Kataria has been adjudged Best Swimmer at the recent Junior National Swimming Championship.
