GURGAON: Absence of sewerage network in Bajgira is a major cause of concern for the residents of Gurgaon Gateway in Sector 113. Residents say that sewage generated from the village has been accumulating in a vacant plot behind the society for the past three years, creating a pond of sewage. Over the past few months, it has started to fall on the road in front of the society.
They say it has turned into a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which is a serious health hazard apart from eye inflammation. Several complaints have been made to the authorities but no action has been taken. RWA president Vaibhav Goyal said the area lacks proper drainage system, resulting in free flow of untreated water from nearby villages into the sector.
The dirty water pool smells so bad that we can’t keep our balcony doors closed. This problem has increased as sewage water has started falling on the road in front of our society and school. Despite the ups and downs in this sector, the concerned authorities are not paying any attention to our civic amenities.
In December 2020, the government had increased the scope of the MCG. Sixteen villages including Bajgira were taken over by the Municipal Corporation. According to locals, the MCG had awarded the contract to an agency to lay a sewerage line in the village about four months ago, but the work has not started yet.
Bajghera RWA president Satbir Rana said, “The MCG has sanctioned Rs 9.26 crore for the work and an MLA inaugurated the work about two-and-a-half months ago, but the actual work is yet to begin. Is.” Meanwhile, MCG Chief Engineer Vishal Bansal said, “There were some reservations about the design and size of the pipelines. We are working on it and the work will start once the revised design is approved.”
