Road or obstacle course? It's a tough ride for commuters on key stretches of Gurgaon's Sector 9A
Gurgaon: The internal roads in Sector 9A are in a state of disrepair, with potholes, loose gravel, and thick dust making daily commute difficult. According to residents, MCG did not carry out even basic repair work on the 18-metre-wide sector roads, considered the main arteries of the area, despite repeated complaints over the past two roads were last laid over five years ago, and since then, no patchwork or resurfacing was done, they said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Instead, broken stretches were filled with construction debris, further aggravating the problem."The condition of the roads has been deteriorating with every monsoon. Water fills up the potholes and navigating the roads becomes life-threatening," said Ashutosh Jaspal, a two primary access roads to the sector—one from the ESIC Hospital side and the other from the boosting station—are both severely damaged. While the ESIC side was dug up in Feb this year for sewer line laying, the latter is riddled with potholes, making it equally difficult to navigate."We are effectively cut off. There is no safe entry into the sector," Jaspal complaints lodged on both GMDA and MCG grievance portals are routinely marked as "resolved" without any action being taken on the ground, residents Bhola, general secretary of the sector's RWA, said that they have written multiple letters to the officials concerned, met them, and submitted complaints for over two years, but to no avail. "They are giving nothing but false assurances. These 18-metre roads are the lifeline of the sector. They haven't been maintained in five years, and this reflects the officials' apathy. At the very least, they could have done temporary patchwork. Even that was denied to us," Bhola the executive engineer of MCG, Sanjeev Kumar, said, "We have floated the tender for the construction of internal roads in Sector 9A with an estimate of Rs 2.49 crore. The work will start once the tender is given. Additionally, we are conducting a survey of 18m roads across the city for developing them as model roads."

CM Tamang said, 'Our government has always placed the welfare of labourers at the forefront of its development agenda. In recognition of their vital role, we have taken several landmark steps to enhance their dignity, well-being, and livelihood. 'One of the key measures is the revision of monthly wages to Rs. 15,000, thereby ensuring a more secure and respectable standard of living for our workers. 'We are also providing improved housing and other essential facilities, along with expanded health benefits to ensure the holistic welfare of labourers and their families.' According to him, the establishment of a 100-bedded ESIC Hospital at Mamring, Rangpo, marks a significant milestone in providing accessible and quality healthcare to the working community. 'To strengthen the administrative machinery and labour welfare systems, a cadre review is being undertaken to ensure effective and adequate governance. 'Technological interventions like the launch of an online registration app and a dedicated Labour Clearance Certificate Portal are aimed at streamlining procedures and increasing transparency,' he added. CM Tamang mentioned that financial assistance is being extended to workers under the Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) scheme. Furthermore, the mass registration of workers under the Sikkim Labour Registration Act, 2021, is being actively pursued to safeguard their rights and entitlements. 'Through awareness programmes focussing on labour rights, employment conditions, and fair labour practices, we aim to foster a safe, equitable, and progressive working environment. We are also committed to promoting a positive employer-employee relationship, which is essential for sustainable development and social harmony,' he said. The CM also said that these initiatives stand as a testament to the Sikkim government's unwavering commitment to improving labour welfare, simplifying administrative processes, and promoting inclusive public welfare. CM Tamang also extended his greetings on International Labour Day that is being celebrated across the world on Thursday. He said, 'I extend my warm greetings and heartiest appreciation to all the hardworking labourers whose tireless efforts form the backbone of our society and economy.
