Gurugram, July 21 -- The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has started work to plug two missing links in its master water pipeline network under the Dwarka expressway to improve water supply to residential sectors 58 to 80, officials said. Each segment measures 340 metres and is being laid through trenchless digging under the Central Peripheral Road (CPR) in Sector 36A. The work is expected to be completed by the end of September. "Missing links are being connected at two locations under the CPR portion of the Dwarka expressway. The cost of this project is Rs.9.5 crore, and it will help in completing the entire master pipeline from Chandu Budhera water treatment plant to Sector 72 boosting station," said Abhinav Verma, executive engineer, GMDA. The project aims to address long-standing water shortages in the area, where residents depend on borewells, tankers, and erratic water supply, especially during peak summer months. "We have already laid an alternative line to make this boosting station functional," Verma added. Once the Sector 72 station is fully operational and the pipeline network complete, water supply is expected to improve significantly across the affected sectors. The 1,600 mm pipeline was originally laid by HSVP in 2012, stretching from Chandu Budhera to Dhankot, and then along the Dwarka expressway and CPR to Sector 72. However, two segments were left incomplete during realignment by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), disrupting regular supply. GMDA also fixed a missing 180-metre stretch near the railway line to aid connectivity. It currently supplies 670 MLD of treated water to residents....
