Gurugram, Sept. 15 -- Alleged civic neglect in Gurugram's residential colonies has come under political and public scrutiny, as residents of Sector 105's Vishnu Garden said they have lived amid stagnant sewer water for more than four months. They claimed that streets have turned into foul-smelling swamps with broken drains, garbage piles, and mosquito breeding, leaving senior citizens confined indoors and children wading through dirty water to reach schools. Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) officials acknowledged the problem. A senior MCG official said, "We have surveyed the affected lanes and initiated planning for desilting and drain clearance. These issues will be resolved soon as part of our ongoing drive to improve sanitation in vulnerable neighbourhoods." District officials added that complaints were recorded and coordination with engineering teams was underway to provide relief before the festival season. For residents, however, patience has expired. "We are virtually imprisoned in our homes. Senior citizens cannot step out, children wade through dirty water to reach school buses, and shopkeepers operate in the middle of filth. This is not an inconvenience; it's a public health disaster," said long-time resident Satyavanti Devi. Pankaj Dawar, senior Congress leader and district president (urban), who visited the colony, described the situation as "a slow poisoning of citizens." Standing with residents in knee-deep water, he said, "If anyone wants to see the failures of governance, they must come to Vishnu Garden. For months, people here have lived with sewage water in their streets. This is not development; it is decay. The BJP promised to turn Gurugram into Paris, but they have turned it into a swamp instead." In response, Rao Narbir Singh, Haryana cabinet minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, said the government has undertaken large-scale repair work. "The repairs are aimed at enhancing commuter safety and ensuring smoother traffic flow during monsoon and to address long-standing public grievances regarding flooding," he said. Locals, however, claim repeated complaints have gone unanswered. "We were promised better roads, drainage and sanitation during elections. After voting, no one came back," said resident Aman Hooda. Residents demand immediate desilting of drains, resurfacing of broken lanes, garbage removal, and regular fumigation. As resident Ramesh Sharma asked, "The government tells us not to let water stagnate inside our homes, but what about the water that's been rotting outside our gates for four months?"...
