Does anybody care about the Infrastructure woes in Gurgaon

G_Rider · 05-01-2008

With all the glitzy residentail and commercial developement comming up, the administration has totally ignored is the infrastructure needs of Gurgaon. The irony lies in when you compare world class buildings like Cyber greens, Global Business Park etc with bad & choked roads, no elctricity, no security and no planning what so ever. Look at the transport network here, the government has not bothered to put in a public transport system in place even though thousands of office goers risk their life everyday traveling in unauthorised cabs and what ever they can get into.
The authority and its Babus have been busy raking in their moolah rather then look into the plight of the common man in Gurgaon. Small parcel of lands are being sold/ auctioned at sky high valuations but nobody knows where all this revenue is going?
Only god can help Gurgaon and its citizens as the administration has failed it's cause and obligations to the general public at large.

Alas! Somone Said It!. It is unbelievable on how people have turned a blind eye towards these much important issues.

The govt. has simply ignored such crucial issues and the people are also busy buying and selling and making their moolah. As per recent reports, Guragon seems to be loosing steam and people are moving back to Delhi.

Gurgaon fails on all aspects. From top to bottom, everyone is skin deep corrupt and this is the true face of the New India.

ONLY GOD CAN SAVE GURGAONITES

Hear, hear. I recently visited Gurgoan, after 3 years. I would have thought that this up and coming city would by now have proper pavements for the safety of its many pedestrians..... Gurgoan has let me down. OK, I understand that traffic is on the increase, so why does the administrators of the city not do something about it. A pedestrian can be quietlly going about his or her business only to be watching their backs all the time for fear of being run over or injured. I feel I have been let down by this total lack of care for the ordinary person by Gurgaon. This could have been an ideal time for this modern city to be seen as a civilised town with some kind of order and semblence. All I want are pavements.... is that asking for too much?

Has Gugaon not learnt any lessons from Chandigarh? There is a lot more order and hardly and chaos when it comes to walking/shopping.

This is the sscenarios for each and every city in India. Look @ Bangalore same condition. Property values are.More people paying taxes.
Still the condition of Infrastructure is not upto the mak.

If India is to compete with the rest of the world then I think it should seriously take a leaf out of China's book, may be that will be India's wake up call, and clean up the infrasture!

I am sure if pedestrians had some where to work on safely and drivers and other road users heeded road signs and went the same way half the problem of India's infrastructure would be solved. At the moment there does not appear to be any respect for anyone, least of pedestrians.

Despite of the fact that the Haryana government has failed to provide adequate water and power to the existing population, the Haryana government continues to indiscriminately release licenses to developers for more projects. Being worried about the severe depletion of groundwater which will in turn lead to environmental and ecological degradation due to mindless and unplanned development. The residents' associations of Gurgaon have moved the Supreme Court, seeking a complete ban on any more residential and commercial projects in Gurgaon and surrounding areas. They have demanded that the state agencies should first ensure adequate water supply to the existing population before thinking of future expansion. The petition also sought immediate ban on mass-scale extraction of scarce groundwater and its misuse for construction and commercial activities by the builders. What's more, due to shortage in canal water supply, 70 per cent of the total water demand is being met by extracting groundwater The Central Ground Water Authority has announced Gurgaon as 'Dark Zone' and as per its report groundwater is being drawn three times its recharge. The petitioners have also claimed that a number of developers had managed to get environment clearances from the Ministry by furnishing false information that fifty percent of the water used in the construction process was supplied by the municipal sources (canal supply) and rest half by the contractors. The petitioners have brought into notice that in less than 15 years more than 10, 000 acres agriculture land has been converted into modern townships comprising state-of-the art residential, commercial and industrial townships.
