Gurugram, June 2 -- While the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) claims it is fully prepared for the monsoon, residents of Wards 19 and 20 continue to face chronic waterlogging, with several areas lacking basic drainage infrastructure even five years after being brought under the civic body's limits, residents said. Despite the MCG spending Rs.13.62 lakh in Ward 19 and Rs.10.82 lakh in Ward 20 last year for water disposal, locals allege that the flooding situation remains dire. Many parts of these wards still have no sewer lines, leading to stagnant water up to three feet deep that takes days to clear after rainfall. According to MCG's internal assessment, localities such as Bhondsi, Dhumaspur, New Gwal Pahari, Behrampur, and Ullawas still do not have sewer or drainage networks. These areas were added to MCG limits in December 2020 but continue to flood during the monsoon, locals said. "Five years have passed since Bhondsi and surrounding areas were brought under MCG, yet not a single sewer line or drain has been built," said Rakesh Thakur, a resident of Bhondsi. "During the monsoon, waterlogging reaches up to two or three feet, and we are confined to our homes," he added. In Ward 19, key waterlogging hotspots include Maruti Kunj main gate, Sneh Vihar near Dadi Sati Mandir, and Bhondsi Government School - none of which have stormwater drains, sewer connections, or GMDA master lines. MCG continues to rely on suction tankers and tractor-mounted pumps, locals claimed. "MCG's solution is to pump out water using tankers, which is time-consuming. There is no effort to build a permanent drainage system," said SP Sahu, another resident. The situation in Ward 20 is equally inconvenient. Flood-prone areas include Bandhwari, Ghata Underpass, Muzaffar Ali Farmhouse, CRPF Camp Road, and E-Block near Sector 55-56. Even where a master drain exists, elevation issues render it ineffective, locals allege. "We have already assigned machinery to all identified waterlogged locations. A permanent solution will soon be executed soon," said Sumit Kumar, joint commissioner, MCG. Junior engineers Arif Khan (Ward 19) and Sandeep Hooda (Ward 20) are responsible for operations, overseen by sub-divisional officer Kuldeep Yadav. When contacted, the officials cited above that they will soon visit the areas to check on the ground situation....
