Living in swamp: A year on, Rajendra Park choking on sewage, no action by Gurgaon civic body
Gurgaon: Residents of Rajendra Park have been living with overflowing sewage for over a year, but say the situation has become unbearable in the past three months. Lanes remain waterlogged with sewage, a constant stench fills the air, and slippery muck has made stepping outside dangerous. Despite repeated complaints through the CM Window, Samadhaan Shivir, appeals to the Urban Local Bodies minister, and a visit from MCG commissioner, little has changed. Mange Ram Yadav, a resident, said, "The situation is so bad that it's hard to even step outside. The lanes are slippery. We've been running from pillar to post for three months, but no one is listening."

"MCG has occasionally sent a suction machine, but either the cable breaks or the motor fails. We need a permanent solution, not temporary fixes," Yadav added. The condition is affecting everyday life. "The smell makes it hard to breathe even indoors. Cooking, eating, sleeping—everything is impacted. Officials should try living here if they want to understand our struggle," said Rani Devi, another resident. Despite raising the issue on social media and approaching officials, residents say no real action has been taken. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Seniors Can Get This Generic Viagra for 87¢ - Details Inside Friday Plans Learn More Undo "We've tried everything—govt camps, ministers, officers—but nothing changes. Tenants are moving out, but we don't have that choice," another resident said. Meanwhile, MCG chief engineer Vijay Dhaka said that a permanent solution is underway. "We are laying a 600mm sewer line, which is in its final stages, but work has been delayed due to rain. Desilting of the existing 600mm and 900mm lines connected to the Dhanwapur STP is ongoing and expected to be completed within a month. We are also planning a new sewer line connecting to Jahajgarh STP, with the tendering process in progress. Interim measures are being implemented alongside long-term solutions," he said.
