HSVP Launches Road Reconstruction in Sector 37C Gurugram: A Long-Awaited Relief for Residents
In a much-needed move, the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) has begun the reconstruction of internal sector roads in Sector 37C, Gurugram. For years, residents of this area have struggled with poor road conditions, potholes, and waterlogging. With the authorities finally stepping in, the residents are hopeful for much-needed relief.
The Struggles of Sector 37C Residents
Sector 37C has long been facing severe infrastructure issues. Residents have had to endure damaged roads and recurring waterlogging, especially during the monsoon season. The lack of proper drainage systems has exacerbated these problems, making daily commuting a nightmare. Local businesses, schools, and residents all found themselves dealing with the repercussions of this poor civic infrastructure.
Ashok Kumar, a local business owner in the sector, explains, “For years, the roads have been in bad shape. With multiple residential colonies and two large schools in the area, the situation has only worsened. School children and office goers especially find it difficult to navigate these roads.”
The situation had become so dire that in 2019, residents even launched a “No Roads, No Votes” campaign to highlight the neglect of basic infrastructure by authorities. This protest, though significant, did not go far in bringing immediate changes. However, with the recent start of road reconstruction work, there is a renewed sense of hope.
HSVP Plan for Road Reconstruction
The Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran has now taken significant action to address these issues. The reconstruction project involves strengthening the existing road surface and relaying a new bitumen layer to improve the roads’ durability and prevent further wear and tear.
Vimal Deep, the Executive Engineer at HSVP, confirmed that a ₹3.24 crore tender had been floated for the reconstruction. “We have already started the work of repairing potholes and strengthening the road surface. In the next one to one-and-a-half months, the roads will be fully relaid,” he said.
Schools and Local Officials Support the Initiative
The construction of these new roads is not only crucial for the local residents but also for the schools in the area. Sunil Kumar, a senior official from one of the schools, shared that they had raised their concerns with the HSVP administration. “We recently submitted a representation to the HSVP office, requesting the urgent reconstruction of these roads,” Kumar said.
He further elaborated, “The roads are in such bad condition that driving becomes a challenge. With school children and daily commuters facing accidents due to potholes, this construction will significantly reduce the risks.”
A Statement from Sanjeev Singh, MD of SKJ Landbase
Sanjeev Singh, Managing Director of SKJ Landbase, emphasized the importance of such infrastructure projects for the region’s overall development. “Improved infrastructure is essential not only for the safety and convenience of residents but also for boosting local real estate. With better roads and drainage systems, the area will see a surge in property demand and enhanced quality of life. This is a critical step in building a more connected and prosperous community,”
His statement highlights how better infrastructure can drive local growth, making it a key priority for developers and residents alike. With the improvements underway, Sector 37C is poised for growth and development, benefiting both current residents and potential investors.
A Timely and Essential Project
The timing of the roadwork could not be more crucial. With the upcoming monsoon season and an increasing population in the area, the improved road network will go a long way in ensuring smoother transportation and reducing the risk of accidents.
This development also comes as a welcome change for local businesses, many of whom have seen a decrease in footfall due to the poor road conditions. Better roads will not only improve daily commuting but also boost the local economy by making the area more accessible to customers and clients.
What to Expect from the Road Reconstruction
The road reconstruction project will take approximately two months to complete, with the contractor first working on the road surface before laying down the final layer of bitumen. Once finished, the newly reconstructed roads will provide long-term relief to local residents and commuters, making the sector more connected and less prone to flooding.
Furthermore, the project is expected to improve overall safety in the area. With well-maintained roads and proper drainage systems, the risks of accidents caused by waterlogging or potholes will reduce significantly, making it easier and safer for everyone, from schoolchildren to office workers, to travel through the sector.
Conclusion: HSVP Step Toward Better Infrastructure
The start of this road reconstruction project in Sector 37C signals a turning point in improving Gurugram’s infrastructure. Residents, businesses, and local schools alike are optimistic that the completion of this project will not only solve the long-standing issues but also encourage other sectors to prioritize their infrastructure needs.In the coming months, Sector 37C will see a transformation that promises to enhance the quality of life for its residents, improve safety, and restore hope in the local administration’s ability to act on public concerns. The ongoing support and patience of the community will be key to ensuring that this project is successfully completed, offering a brighter and smoother future for Sector 37C.
