The factory owners havebeen fighting with the civic authority under the leadership of the Gurgaon Industrial Association (GIA) for the development of civic amenities in the area. The sewage system, drainage, internal roads and parks are in a pathetic state. The internal roads get badly affected every rainy season.

According to GIA office bearers, they have taken up the matter with the MCG many times. The entry and exit points of MG Road are still in a bad state.Even a light shower leads to water logging.

"We fail to understand where the crores of rupees sanctioned for development go every year?" said Dharam Sagar, a factory owner."We came to know that the MCG has got some funds to be used for civic development here about a year ago. However, there is no action till date.We have held two rounds of meetings with MCG Commissioner, Rajiv Sharma, in this regard," added Sagar.

"The GIA has held several meetings with the MCG Commissioner in the recent months and requested him to sanction work for the improvement of the colony parks, roads and streetlights," said Kishan Chand Papreja, honorary general secretary, GIA.

The industry owners demand development here as a right in return for the revenue they give to the government, especially the Department of Industry.It came as news to the office bearers of the GIA that the MCG has got a fund of approximately Rs two-and-half crore under the local area development fund.

"We held a meeting with the MCG Commissioner in this regard and are expecting proper execution of the fund," added Papreja. He said that the Commissioner has assured that roads and parks will be developed.

"The internal roads are in a poor state.We expect the corporation to look into the problem as the rainy season is round the corner. Some steps should be taken before these roads go from bad to worse," said Bishan Mehrish, secretary of the GIA.

However, Rajiv Sharma, Commissioner, MCG, denied that fund was specifically for the IDC, he admitted the colony was included in the corporation list where development for parks could be conducted. "The fund is for the area coming under the corporation in the entire city.We have awarded the contract for repair of boundary walls, etc as per the need of the locality, one of which is the IDC," said the Commissioner.
