Sewage, stench plague Sushant Lok-2 residents
Gurugram, May 16 -- For over a year, Sushant Lok 2 Block A residents have been facing persistent sewage water problem. Despite being one of the posh localities in Sector 55, houses along the colony's border are exposed to stagnant sewage and filth.
The colony, home to around 2,000 families, lacks a boundary wall separating it from an adjacent 2 acre land, encroached upon by immigrants. Residents claim the encroachers have taken illegal sewer and water connections. During a spot check on Friday, HT saw sewage water accumulated on the open land, with mosquitoes and flies breeding in the area. The water from a sewage pipe flows into the colony premises. "The sewage pipeline is damaged in various places, leading to dirty water flowing onto the roads of the colony," said Disha Dahra, a resident of the colony whose house is located next to the open field.
Riya Dutta, another resident, said the sewage pipe located inside the colony often gets blocked and overflows because of waste dumped by encroachers. "The sewage pipe overflows every second day. Authorities only provide temporary solutions such as cleaning the waste using sticks," said Dutta. Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) junior engineer (development) Sandeep Hooda denied any complaints of blockage in the sewage pipeline. "The sewage pipelines inside the colony are alright. The sewage water flowing and being accumulated in the open land is not under MCG jurisdiction, it is HSVP land and they have to take action," added Hooda.
RWA president of the block, Vinita Sinha, said the residents have filed multiple complaints with civic authorities, but no action has been taken. "We have written to both MCG and HSVP, but there has been little action," said Sinha.
A senior HSVP official said, "HSVP has a strict policy against encroachers. A team will be sent on ground to check the situation and further action will be taken based on the findings."...
