Gurugram, May 26 -- The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) on Sunday suspended a junior engineer for allegedly ignoring repeated directives over the past several months to install a power connection to activate the motor pumps at the sump well in Gulmohar Park in Sector 15, which resulted in heavy waterlogging in the area during rainfall in the past few weeks. A sump well is used to prevent flooding by diverting excess water away from an area. The official, identified as Ravinder Kumar, was suspended with immediate effect for negligence and prolonged inaction pending a detailed departmental inquiry. MCG officials said that Kumar did not arrange the electricity connection needed to activate the sump pump system despite several verbal and written directions. "This is a clear case of dereliction of duty. Public infrastructure such as sump wells are critical during monsoon, and any negligence that risks public safety and convenience will not be tolerated," said MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya, while confirming the suspension order. Dahiya personally inspected the location earlier this month following resident complaints of water logging. MCG officials said that an internal review has begun to identify other locations across the city where sump well systems or pumping stations may be in disrepair. A monitoring cell will soon be formed to ensure real-time updates on pump functionality ahead of peak monsoon. Sector 15 residents welcomed the move but sought quicker action. "We've faced this issue for nearly a year. Even light rains cause panic. The suspension shows MCG is serious, but timely repair and functional systems are the real challenge," said Priya Malhotra of Gulmohar Park. During the suspension, Kumar will report to the office of Additional Commissioner 1, MCG. He will receive a subsistence allowance under service rules and cannot leave the station without prior approval from authorities....
