Gurugram, Oct. 5 -- Amid the rising dengue and malaria cases across Haryana, residents of Sector 21 have raised their concerns over persistent waterlogging and poor sanitation in areas around Surya Vihar society, officials said on Saturday.According to residents, a 1.5-2 kilometre long stretch on the Old Delhi Gurugram road, starting from Dhundahera village, has become inundated with stagnant water due to no drainage outlet in the vicinity. Rajesh Gera, president of resident welfare association (RWA) of Surya Vihar society located along Kapashera border, said, "During every rainy season, we see the roads surrounding the society get submerged in knee-deep water that goes on to stay for weeks," said Gera. Despite complaints, the local authorities fail to take notice of the accumulated water in front of the society, which has further become a breeding ground for vector-borne diseases, said Gera."Every year, we see many dengue and malaria cases being reported in our society. Luckily, this time around, we don't have any cases as of now. But, with the current situation, it is not far-fetched to say that our fears may turn out to be true," he said. Prakash Lamba, president of Sector 21 RWA, added that another one-kilometre stretch heading from Old Delhi Gurugram road towards Chippi Colony, near Surya Vihar, remains submerged in two-feet deep water during the rainy season. "The road passing in front of a Harijan basti settled under the Indira Awaas Yojana has no drainage, and with frequent sewer overflows, it has become a hotspot for mosquitoes and other vector-borne diseases," he added. Addressing the concerns, Yash Jaluka, additional commissioner of Municipal Corporation of Gurugram, said that a team including engineers inspected the areas near Old Delhi Gurugram road along Kapashera border on Friday. "A plan is being formulated to connect the vicinity with proper drainage facilities nearby," Jaluka said, adding that the water stuck in the area was cleared....
