Following this, the repair and reconstruction work of roads in the city seems to have gained some momentum and the departments concerned have started repairing the roads under their jurisdiction on a war footing.

According to Anupama, HUDA alone has spent more than Rs 11.6 crore on special repairs of the roads in its sectors recently.

"We have been able to carry out special repairs of 21 important roads during this month and work is in progress on other damaged roads," asserted the HUDA administrator, adding that the dividing roads of sectors and other such more used roads have been taken on priority.

She pointed out that all damaged roads in HUDA sectors had been identified and special repair of these was being taken up in a phased manner.

As per the plan, first those roads have been repaired which are used by the maximum number of commuters and other roads would be repaired subsequently.

Anupama maintained that funds were no constraint and the state government had released the amount demanded.

"Not only this, senior state officers, including financial commissioner-cum-principal secretary (urban development) D.S. Dhesi and HUDA chief administrator T.C. Gupta are constantly monitoring the progress of works in Gurgaon," she said and added that Dhesi had recently visited the city and inspected certain sites. The quality of work was also being checked from time to time, the administrator asserted.

Giving details of the roads on which special repair has been completed recently, Anupama said HUDA circle II had repaired 16 roads by incurring an expenditure of about Rs 7 crore while circle I had repaired five important roads at a cost of Rs 4.60 crore.

She maintained that special repairs on other damaged roads was in progress and would be completed in the stipulated time.
