Gurgaon: Sushant Lok RWA funds borewell pump repair amid ‘neglect' by municipal corporation
'We have been highlighting our water problem for two years now, but there has been no help. Last month, the contractor installed a pump that failed in just two weeks, used substandard motors and wires, and the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram did nothing. Why hire such contractors? For five days, families suffered without water. Even now we are struggling and get water only once a day, another pump being maintained by the civic body is also in need of urgent repair,' said RWA president Vinita Sinha, adding that the repair, undertaken at a cost of Rs 5,000, was at best a 'band-aid' solution.
Adding to the residents' woes, the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) issued notices threatening to cut water and sewer lines in the area–a move Sinha described as ironic given the non-functional water supply and overflowing sewers.
Residents also face challenges in contacting officials of the municipal corporation, Sinha said. 'We do not know who is responsible for our area. The numbers on the website yield no response; for everything we cannot go to the commissioner or a higher official,' she added.
When contacted, Executive Engineer Sandeep Sihag said he was not aware of the issue as the RWA had not complained to him. 'We have resolved such issues fully when concerned RWAs/sectors have recently come forward,' he said.
The Indian Express tried reaching out to Subdivisional Officer Kuldeep Kumar for comment. This report will be updated if Kumar comments.
Last month, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) directed the municipal corporation to disconnect illegal and direct connections made on master water supply pipelines of the GMDA and the civic body.
The move, once implemented, will mean that there will be no direct water supply to households without it being rerouted through the designated boosting stations that regulate pressure and flow. The decision was taken following reports that certain housing societies were installing water pipelines routed from the master water supply lines of the GMDA and the municipal corporation.

Super 300: Government school bags three TN awards for academic turnaround
TIRUCHY: A government school in Tiruchy, which once counted its students on its fingers, has successfully increased strength from 20 to 300 students in the past four years. The Municipal Primary School in Puthur was rewarded with three Tamil Nadu state education awards on Sunday for its remarkable turnaround and academic innovation. P Amsavalli, headmistress of the school, was honoured with the Arignar Anna Award for school leadership (Rs 10 lakh), the Professor Anbazhagan Award for overall school performance, and the 100-Day Reading Challenge Award for ensuring 100% reading proficiency among students. The student admission significantly increased post Covid-19 pandemic, when many families pulled their children out of private schools due to unaffordable fees. 'We used that opportunity to prove what a government school can truly deliver. Even if our school was far from city centres, we made sure our students participated in every competition and science exhibition, and they returned with prizes,' Amsavalli added. The school has introduced smart classrooms, a mini play area, two compact libraries, and a main library despite a limited space. The library is designed to engage even hesitant readers, where students must talk for two minutes about any book before borrowing another. In 2023, the school was upgraded to a two-storey building at a cost of Rs 90 lakh by the city corporation. The school has 10 permanent teachers and another 10 staff on a temporary basis. The HM believes that after the upgrade, the school strength jumped from 150 to 300. 'Many working-class parents struggled to guide their children at home, so we focused on building strong basic maths, English grammar, and reading. As words on teaching quality spread, this year alone, over 10 students shifted from private schools to join us. That, I believe, helped the officials recognise our efforts with these awards.' To strengthen language learning, the school has created its own spoken English course book which is distributed for free among students. 'During events, we encourage the students to take over the stage. Speaking in front of peers builds confidence and pride in learning,' said N Kavitha a PTA teacher who authored the English course book. 'Both my kids have been studying here from the beginning. We could have chosen private schools, but we saw how well they were learning without any extra help,' said Sethu Karthik, a School Management Committee member and parent. The members of the school management committee and teachers plan to use the Rs 10 lakh to set up CCTV cameras and to buy chairs and additional learning infrastructure.
