Gurgaon residents fear sewer work will be left unfinished after Nov 5 ban
Gurgaon residents fear sewer work will be left unfinished after Nov 5 ban
The Story in Brief
Residents of C Block in Gurgaon's Greenwood City fear their main road will remain damaged and unusable after construction and demolition activities across Delhi-NCR face restrictions from November 5 due to worsening air quality. Excavation began about a week ago to connect a sewer line to Sector 45, but residents say more than half the road has been damaged and loose soil from excavation is adding to dust levels.
Deepak Agarwal, RWA treasurer, said work happens for a day then stops for four, with not even 100 metres of pipe laid so far. He said soil dumped after pipe-laying and rain have made the road slippery, and a school bus recently got stuck in a pit. Residents also said excavation damaged electrical and internet cables. Bhawna Gupta said her internet was disrupted for five days and restored only after repeated complaints. The MCG official concerned could not be reached for comment.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Residents of Greenwood City's C Block are paying the price of a project that benefits Sector 45. The sewer line work, begun a week ago, has already torn up more than half their road, damaged power cables and cut internet for days. With the November 5 construction ban looming, the residents have no guarantee the work will be finished. If it stops, they face months of a broken, dusty and slippery road with no connection to the sewer they were promised. The MCG's silence leaves them with no clear path to a repair timeline.
