A high-level meeting was convened on Thursday at the Mini Secretariat. The meeting, led by the Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram, brought together officials from several key agencies including the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG), Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), Public Works Department (PWD), and the Marketing Board.
The primary focus of the meeting was the urgent need to address the extensive damage inflicted on city roads by recent heavy rainfall. Over the past ten days, Gurugram has faced significant weather challenges, resulting in a proliferation of potholes and surface cracks across numerous roads. This has not only disrupted traffic flow but has also posed safety hazards for residents.
The Deputy Commissioner’s directive is clear: all relevant departments are to ensure that damaged roads are repaired and rendered pothole-free within the next 15 days. This mandate underscores the administration’s commitment to restoring road safety and improving traffic conditions in the city. The heavy rains have exacerbated existing issues with road infrastructure, highlighting the need for timely and effective maintenance. The formation of potholes and road cracks has become a significant concern for commuters and residents alike, impacting daily travel and overall quality of life.
In response, the Deputy Commissioner has emphasised the need for a coordinated effort among the various agencies involved. The repair works are expected to include immediate patching of potholes, resurfacing of affected areas, and a comprehensive review of road conditions to prevent future deterioration. The 15-day repair deadline reflects an urgent response to the public outcry over road conditions. The administration’s swift action aims to mitigate further disruptions and improve road safety in Gurugram. Residents are expected to experience a notable enhancement in road quality, which should contribute positively to traffic management and overall urban infrastructure resilience.
