Pending for a year, power connection fixed just 2 hours before minister's visit in Gurgaon's Sector 15
File photo used for representational image GURGAON: In a telling example of administrative apathy and sudden efficiency, a year-long delay in providing electricity to rainwater-lifting motors in Sector 15's Gulmohar Park was mysteriously resolved just two hours before Union minister Rao Inderjit Singh 's scheduled visit on Wednesday. The motors were part of a rainwater management system implemented by the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon ( MCG ) to tackle waterlogging in the area during the monsoon. While the underground tank and pipelines to lift rainwater into the master drainage line were installed seven months ago, the motors remained non-functional due to the absence of an electricity connection — a detail conveniently overlooked by the authorities. Residents revealed that the project to resolve waterlogging began three years ago after a direct appeal to Minister Rao Inderjit Singh. Despite the infrastructure being laid down, the essential electricity connection remained pending for over a year. It wasn't until news of the minister's inspection visit that MCG officials hurriedly connected the power supply — just two hours before his arrival. Speaking to the media during the visit, locals sarcastically remarked that the minister should consider visiting the area more often. 'Only when senior officials and ministers come do things actually move. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The park is cleaned, water problems are addressed, and the system seems to function,' said a resident of Sector 15. They also highlighted how areas like Gulmohar Park, being on a downward slope, frequently face waterlogging in the monsoon season, making this project essential for residents' safety and convenience. Interestingly, beyond the power connection, residents noted that the park was freshly cleaned and the surrounding area beautified just before the minister's visit — suggesting the transformation was more for optics than sustainable urban management.

6 years on, revamp of NH8 link starts with utility shifting
Gurgaon: Work has finally begun on the long-pending revamp of the 2.2 km stretch between Hero Honda Chowk and Umang Bhardwaj Chowk . NHAI has started shifting utilities, including stormwater drains and high-tension cables, falling in the right of to the NHAI, utility shifting will take at least six months, and only after that will the widening of the road and a flyover at Umang Bhardwaj Chowk begin. Additionally, HSVP has transferred one acre of land for relocating a 66 kV substation, which is also expected to start soon. Approved in 2017, part of a broader plan to upgrade the 5.6 km stretch between Hero Honda Chowk and Dwarka Expressway, over the years, the revamp project faced repeated delays due to indecision on the design and modality, casting a shadow on the upgradation of this key stretch linking the Delhi-Gurgaon motorway to the Dwarka Expressway."We have started working on stormwater drainage and relocating the power utility. The work on the shifting of the water pipeline and sewage pipeline will soon be undertaken. Once the shifting of utilities is completed, we will start with the civil work of the upgradation plan," a senior official of NHAI already completed work on the 3 km stretch between Umang Bhardwaj Chowk and Dwarka Expressway. NHAI commissioned an underpass on the expressway last year in June. Initially, NHAI proposed to widen the 2.2 km road into six lanes with a flyover at Umang Bhardwaj Chowk, and the work for this was originally supposed to start in 2019. But later, it was decided that the project would be merged with the Gurgaon-Pataudi-Rewari Highway, pushing the start date to Nov 2021 and the deadline to Nov 2023. Later in 2022, MP and union minister Rao Inderjit Singh insisted on the construction of an elevated road between Hero Honda and Umang Bhardwaj Chowk, citing demand from RWAs and industrial work was further delayed as it could not be decided whether at-grade redevelopment works should be taken up, an elevated road along with a metro pillar should be constructed, or a double-decker with an elevated structure and metro on a single pier should be Nov 2023, NHAI put the revamp on the back burner till a decision was made on its design and delinked the work from the contractor. However, it was later decided that NHAI would carry out the project. Last year, as Inderjit Singh pushed for the elevated road again, NHAI revised the plan to build a six-lane elevated this year, the plan to construct the elevated road was scrapped once again, and authorities decided to go back to the original plan to widen the 2.2 km stretch into six lanes along with a service road and a flyover at Umang Bhardwaj Chowk. Meanwhile, the residents said the development is long-awaited.
