To resolve on-ground hindrances, improve the civic services and accelerate the ongoing infrastructure development works being undertaken in the city.
A meeting was held under the chairmanship of Chief Executive Officer, Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) Shyamal Misra on Thursday.
Various projects which involved key action points of multiple Government agencies were discussed in details.
The meeting was attended by senior officers of NHAI, GMDA, HSIIDC, HSVP, HVPNL and MCG. Necessary directives to resolve on-ground hurdles and to expedite key projects were issued by CEO GMDA to the concerned departments.
A matter of incomplete connectivity of surface drains under NHAI with the master storm water drains of GMDA was raised in the meeting.
It was submitted by GMDA officials that storm water drains laid by NHAI along Iffco Chowk, Signature Tower, Jharsa Chowk, Manesar Bus Stand, Hero Honda Chowk among other key locations are yet to be linked with the master drain of GMDA, in the absence of which waterlogging occurs during the monsoon season. CEO GMDA directed that a joint inspection be immediately undertaken by the concerned officers of both departments and ensure that the drains are connected to facilitate proper discharge of storm water and keep the city roads free of waterlogging.
Additionally, the issue related to dumping of garbage into the drains along National Highway was also touched upon by NHAI officials. Instructions were issued to MCG officials to augment the manpower and resources deployed by the department to tackle the menace of illegal waste dumping and ensure that the garbage removal activities are executed on a daily basis to keep the drains free from clogging.
GMDA officers submitted that to further strengthen the temporary waterlogging releif measures being undertaken at Narsinghpur, the Authority will lay a 1300-meter pipeline to channelize the storm water of Narsinghpur Village into the Badshapur drain in order to curb waterlogging on this critical stretch during periods of heavy rainfall.
