Gurgaon Lacks In Civic Amenities And Inadequate Infrastructure: JAFRA Puts Forth City's ProblemsBy parul118, Section JAFRA - Joint Action Forum of Resident's Associations
Even after 27 years of the implementation of the first Master Plan 1981-2001, Gurgaon lacks in civic amenities and inadequate infrastructure. The Joint Action Forum of RWAs (JAFRA) discussed this matter with T. C. Gupta, Chief Administrator HUDA, at Panchkula recently.
JAFRA members brought to the fore the problems they have to face due to the multiplicity of authorities, both at Gurgaon and Panchkula. They also said that the meetings that used to take place between the HUDA Administrator and the nominated residents have not been held for the last many months. The Chief Administrator said that only the points that relate to his Directorate should be discussed in this meeting. The Chief Administrator said, "In my Directorate, we are encouraging people participation and partnership. The financial powers of the Administrator: HUDA, have been increased to Rs 50 lakh and from now on all the superintendent engineers and executive engineers are under him." The members were also told that the HUDA is working for adequate water supply and by 2021, Gurgaon will have 75 flyovers. The survey is already on and the officials are in touch with the residents welfare associations and are grading the colonies according to the civic amenities available in the colonies. Residents' active participation is being encouraged in the cleanliness drive and the maintenance of parks and cleanliness work has been allotted to Sulabh International. "Though it is good news that so much development is being planned for Gurgaon, the present infrastructure like sewage disposal, roads, electricity and water are not up to the mark," said P K. Sablok, executive member: JAFRA. The JAFRA members also raised their concern regarding the inability to recycle even a single drop of rainwater "Most of the stormwater drains are choked and have not been desilted for years. Even the sewerage treatment plants are either inadequate or non-functional," said Sablok. Though Gupta agreed to this, he added that the master sewer line is being laid along the Expressway but the project has been held for a while due to the directive of the High Court. The members proposed the construction of a cremation ground, east of National Highway-8 with all modern facilities. A proposal was presented to the Chief Administrator regarding the handing over of sector community centres to the RWAs as the community centres in developers' colonies are being used as commercial clubs. The issue of the delay in the re-positioning of Sector 42 was also discussed where the Chief Administrator said that he will look into the matter as the orders for the repositioning has already been issued from his office six months ago.
