Gurugram, April 11 -- The Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) will revamp and resurface roads across sectors 1 to 8 in IMT Manesar, officials said on Friday. The project covers resurfacing roads, repairingfootpaths and developing green central verges at an estimated cost of around Rs.33 crore, officials said, adding that they have set a deadline of December 2026 for completion. Officials said nearly 37 kms of roads will be revamped in phases. Contracts worth around Rs.6.91 crore have been awarded and tenders have been floated for about 10 kms of roads. Work on the remaining stretches is at different stages of planning, they added. "The first phase will begin within a month," said Yashaswi Verma, executive engineer, HSIIDC. The revamp was planned after the Municipal Corporation of Manesar (MCM) requested HSIIDC to conduct a detailed survey of roads, MCM officials said. HSIIDC officials said out of the 18 kms stretch of central verges, at least 3.5 kms requires significant greening work, particularly in Sector 8. Rakesh Verma, a resident of IMT Manesar, said the condition of roads, especially in sectors 1 and 8, is very poor. "The roads are riddled with potholes. Several stretches are broken. Footpaths are either damaged or encroached upon, making it unsafe for pedestrians," he said. MCM officials said the meeting was conducted in February and March under the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) guidelines, with the MCM acting as the nodal agency. Puneet, joint commissioner, MCM, said the work will also help to curb dust pollution caused due to damaged roads....
