GMDA to put up five key projects for approval at Haryana CM's meet
Gurugram: The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) will put up five key infrastructure project proposals before a high-powered purchase committee meeting scheduled to be helmed by Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday, officials, aware of the matter, said. These projects include setting up around 2,300 CCTV cameras in Gurugram, repair work of the Sohna Road sewage drain, desilting the Hero Honda Chowk drain, Basai electricity substation, building cycle tracks on two major roads. GMDA officials said that tenders for these projects have already been opened, and they have received bids, which shall be put before the committee chaired by the CM. According to details shared by the authority, the GMDA will seeks approval for the second phase of CCTV projects in the city under which it plans to install 2,272 cameras at 258 locations in developing sectors and outskirts of the city. These cameras will be used to detect traffic violations, keep an eye on the city and detect speeding violations on national highways. The phase two camera system will be installed at a cost of around Rs136 crore. Five companies have submitted their bids for this tender, officials said. Another key project will be to desilt the sewerage drain from Hero Honda Chowk to Dhanwapur sewage treatment plant, a stretch of around 7.5km, which will clear the entire sewage network downstream from Hero Honda Chowk. 'An amount of ₹12 crore will be spent on this project, after the committee approves the project. Around 600 metres of the drain would also be strengthened using CIPP technology. Three companies have submitted their bids for the project,' said a senior GMDA official. In order to resolve the problem of damages to the sewage line on Sohna Road, the authority has also proposed to rehabilitate the entire sewage pipeline from Subhash Chowk to Tikri Morh on the highway. 'An amount of ₹19 crore has been earmarked for this project and it will be completed in 12 months after allotment. Once this work is done, the problem of road caving in at different spots on this highway will be resolved,' the GMDA official added. Apart from these three major projects, the authority has also planned to set up a 66 KV dedicated electricity substation at the Basai water treatment plant, which will ensure seamless and regular electricity supply to the plant, which provides drinking water to the entire old city. The authority will also put up a proposal to construct footpaths and cycle tracks on the master sector roads of Sector 58 and Sector 61.

Sewer damage causes cave-in on Sohna Road, traffic diverted in Gurgaon
Gurgaon: A portion of Sohna Road near Shishpal Vihar Society caved in on Monday. The collapse, following damage in an underground sewer pipeline and its manhole structure wall, created a circular pit about 40 square feet in area and 12 feet deep. The cave-in, which appeared to be caused by soil erosion around the damaged sewer infrastructure, caused traffic disruption and safety concerns for commuters. The section of the road was barricaded, closing one lane of the affected road segment to prevent any accidents.

While the sewer line will be repaired using the CIPP (Cured-in-Place Pipe) method within eight months, a GMDA official said "starting Tuesday, the repair work on the manhole will commence". The water in this sewer line will be diverted to another line, allowing the repair work to start. "Within four to five days of starting the work, the manhole and the damaged section of the road will be repaired," the GMDA official said. This sewer line, with a capacity of about 1800mm, carries sewage from sectors 47 to 51. The sewage travels approximately five kilometres along this line to the treatment plant in Baharampur village. Two days ago, the manhole wall was damaged, leading to soil erosion beneath the road and causing the road near Shishpal Vihar to collapse. Traffic police arrived at the scene upon receiving the information and closed the damaged section of the road with barriers to prevent accidents. Thirty years ago, when the sewer line was installed, brick walls were used in manholes instead of cemented walls and the brick wall in this manhole is now damaged. A plan has been prepared to repair it using the CIPP method. Last year, this sewer line sank twice in front of Raheja Mall on Gurgaon-Sohna Expressway. The line is about 18 feet deep at this location. Investigations revealed that the old sewer line is deteriorating at several points. It was decided to repair the line using the CIPP method, which involves applying a chemical layer about two inches thick inside the sewer line, extending its lifespan by approximately 50 years. GMDA issued a tender in March under the CIPP method and two companies applied. The tender, worth about Rs 20 crore, will be presented for approval at a high-level procurement committee meeting chaired by chief minister Nayab Singh Saini.
