Land acquisition hurdles hold up key road projects in new sectors in Gurgaon
Gurgaon: Unresolved land acquisition and litigation issues have stalled several planned roads in new sectors, obstructing vital connectivity projects and delaying civic infrastructure. While around 1.3km road network has been affected, the delays also hit essential services like water supply, sewerage and stormwater drainage, besides stalling much-needed connectivity between new sectors, according to GMDA. Naturally, new sectors' residents are not happy. RWA president of Mapsko Casabella in Sector 82 Dharam Veer Singh says, "It is high time that authorities resolve the pending issues and expedite the construction of roads and services." "We moved here nine years ago with the hope that basic roads and drains would follow shortly," Singh says. Among the most critical missing links is a 380-metre patch between Sectors 72 and 72A. GMDA has identified 4.11 acres of land that need to be acquired to complete the master dividing road here. The road is crucial for connecting Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) and Hero Honda Chowk.

An estimate of Rs 2.2 crore has already been prepared for the work, a tender for which is expected to be floated soon. But unless the 72–72A link is resolved, a seamless traffic corridor across the area will remain elusive. A GMDA official said, "Progress has been made on the sector 71 and 73 stretch, but until this bottleneck is cleared, full connectivity between SPR and Hero Honda Chowk will remain incomplete." Infrastructure gaps aren't limited to roads. Several small but critical land parcels continue to hold up the laying of sewer lines and stormwater drains in new sectors. In outer Sector 70A, a 50-metre stretch is pending, preventing the installation of sewer infrastructure. Similarly, 80 metres of land in Sector 81–81A is holding up road, sewer and drainage work. A 70-metre portion between Sectors 102 and 103 is also stuck, delaying sewer line installation. Besides land acquisition, litigation is another major roadblock. Two road projects — one between Sectors 82 and 85 (350 metres) and another between Sectors 86 and 90 (370 metres) — are embroiled in legal disputes. Both stretches were planned with roads and drainage networks but remain stuck due to legal disputes. A senior GMDA official said, "Efforts are underway to sort out the land hurdles. Estimates are being prepared for those stretches which have been handed over to us." The delays have left residents in new sectors without proper road access or essential civic services. Dharam Veer Singh said, "Several roads in new sectors are incomplete and due to the absence of drain connectivity, waterlogging is experienced during the monsoon." Earlier, TOI reported that GMDA had prepared the estimates of Rs 3 crore for the construction of a 350-metre road in sectors 88 and 89 and Rs 1 crore for the construction of a 170-metre stretch between sectors 62 and 65. GMDA officials said they are in regular coordination with Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran to speed up land clearances.
