Gurugram authority forms four teams for the takeover of 11 private colonies

Gurugram: On Thursday, the engineering wing of the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon decided to create four teams for the survey of 11 private colonies and their poor infrastructure. The decision came after when MCG commissioner Mukesh Kumar Ahuja directed the officials to focus on the takeover of these private colonies.

The four teams created by MCG comprise an executive engineer, assistant engineer and junior engineer. The teams formed will conduct the surveys in 11 private colonies to prepare a cost estimate to improve deficient infrastructure.

A meeting will be held on September 22 in the MCG commissioner’s office to review the survey report. One of the officials said,” The teams have to submit estimates of deficient work to be carried out in the private colonies within 15 days,” in a letter by the superintending engineer-2 to engineering wing officials on Thursday.

The teams comprising of executive engineer Satpal, assistant engineer Krishan Kumar and junior engineer Rahul Khan will provide the survey for private colonies such as Mayfield Garden, Malibu Towne, and Vipul World.  Rosewood City and Uppal Housing will be surveyed by executive engineer Satpal, assistant engineer Krishan Kumar and junior engineer Kapil. The cost estimate for colonies like Sushant Lok-2 and 3, Greenwood City and Ardee City will be conducted by executive engineer Sundar Sheoren, assistant engineer Waseem Akram and junior engineer Milan and Rahul. Another team of executive engineer Naveen Dhankar, assistant engineer Dinesh Kumar, and junior engineer Harikishan will survey in DLF-4 and 5.

The decision came after Wednesday when the MCG commissioner directed the officials to form a special team for the cost estimate to improve deficient work in these 11 colonies. The initiative of taking over of colony was announced by Haryana chief minister in 2017. Although eight of the colonies have provided their consent for the takeover there are 3 more – Ardee City and DLF-4 and 5 which the department didn’t receive any response from, said MCG official.

As per the plan, the civic body will handle utility services such as water, drainage, roads and street lighting. The goal is to identify poor infrastructure and prepare an estimated cost to completed pending work. However, if some developer fails to complete the work within the period, MCG will carry out work at the cost of the developer.

In 2019, the state government told the MCG to fasten the takeover process. The department is now getting help from DTCP for the information of the building plan, layouts of storm water drains, water and sewerage lines, parks and plots and years of construction and community status in these colonies.
