Residents complain as key rd still waterlogged
Gurugram, Dec. 4 -- Residents of Godrej Summit in Sector 104 are strucggling with persistent waterlogging. According to residents, Dhanwapur road, which connects the society to the Dwarka Expressway, is frequently inundated with sewage water, making daily travel a challenge.
The 500 to 600 meter stretch is has two housing societies - Godrej Summit and Zara Aavaas. Resident of Godrej Summit alleged that the waterlogged road has severely disrupted their daily commute, while Zara Aavaas which is located slightly farther away has less impact.
"The problem has persisted since July," said Bajrang Jain, a resident of Godrej Summit. "The sewage line coming from Rajendra Park and Surat Nagar, which has a chamber near our society, was recently dug up. Now, the main line does not have the capacity to handle all these sewer connections. As a result, sewage often overflows, and our lane frequently gets flooded," he said.
"This is the only stretch connecting us to the Dwarka Expressway, and there is no alternative route," he added.
Vishal Gupta, another resident, said the situation worsened on Tuesday when the road became completely waterlogged due to a sewage leak. "On Tuesday, the waterlogging was so severe it looked like the aftermath of heavy rain. The road is also filled with huge potholes, making daily commute extremely difficult," he added.
"Sewage leakage poses serious health hazards. Schoolchildren commuting by bus, and those who walk, face significant difficulties. Pedestrians are the most affected, and two-wheeler riders also struggle, as waterlogged roads conceal potholes," he added.
With over 2,000 families residing in the area, residents say the stretch is becoming dangerous day by day. "The road was constructed by our builder in 2017 and has not been recarpeted since. Even when there is no waterlogging, huge potholes make the ride extremely bumpy. The situation has become unbearable. Our lane remains waterlogged throughout the year," said Pushpendre, another resident.
A Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) official said the sewage line work had been delayed due to administrative issues.
"The work is now underway, and the sewer line will be properly connected. The problem originated in Surat Nagar phase 1, which caused the overflow," he explained.
Addressing the pothole-ridden roads, he said, "An estimate has been prepared, and tenders will be issued soon. We have taken note of the issue and it will be resolved shortly."...
