Gurugram’s plan to build 24-metre-wide internal roads across nine sectors has moved forward, with the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) preparing a proposal to acquire around 107 acres from surrounding villages. The proposal will be sent to the authority’s headquarters for approval, after which the land acquisition process is expected to begin under the new land acquisition law.
The proposed roads are intended to improve connectivity between developed sectors, nearby villages and wider city roads. The first phase covers sectors 81 to 86 and Sector 104, according to the report. The nine-sector selection is being treated as a pilot project for a larger plan covering the stretch from Sector 58 to Sector 115.
For Sector 104, HSVP has proposed acquiring about six acres from Gurgaon village and Dhanwapur village. Around 90% of this land is reported to be in Gurgaon village. Sector 81 would require approximately 16 acres from Lakhanoula and Nawada Fatehpur, while about 15 acres would be needed for Sector 81A from land in Lakhanoula, Manesar and Shikohpur.
The proposed 24-metre road in Sector 82 would require nearly three acres from Sikanderpur Badha, Lakhanoula, Shikohpur and Singhi villages. Sector 82A would require around 11 acres. The report does not provide the sector-wise land requirement for all nine sectors, although the total proposed acquisition for the pilot phase is stated to be about 107 acres.
The proposal follows directions issued by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini in response to difficulties faced by Gurugram residents because of the lack of internal roads. HSVP has already developed 60-metre-wide roads under the Gurugram-Manesar Development Plan, but several internal links were not built.
At the same time, the Department of Town and Country Planning issued licences for the development of residential societies and colonies, with provisions for 24-metre roads. The absence of these connecting roads has affected residents of around 300 housing societies, according to the report, particularly by limiting direct access between licensed developments, established sectors and nearby villages.
The proposal was prepared by a joint site inspection committee formed on the instructions of J. Ganesan, director general of the Department of Town and Country Planning. The committee is headed by HSVP administrator Vaishali Singh and includes the department’s senior town planner, HSVP estate officer, land acquisition officer and HSVP superintendent engineer.
The next formal step is the submission of the land acquisition proposal to HSVP headquarters. If it receives approval, the authority will initiate the acquisition process under the applicable land acquisition law. The report does not specify the likely acquisition schedule, compensation details or construction completion timeline.
