Gurgaon: While around 30,000 families living in 18 new sectors Gurgaon has demanded pipe supply for several years now, developers only 25 out of 56 housing projects along the Dwarka Toll Road have submitted connections since August this year when this year’s canal water supply begins.
Seeing lukewarm response, the City and State Meeting Department (DTCP) has now decided to issue a notification to the remaining developers asking them to apply for water connections within 15-20 days.
Residents said they were forced to depend on groundwater tankers and water even after paying external and internal development costs for the same thing.
Batth Hospital, DTP (enforcement), said this problem was brought to the department notification during Janata Darbar recently with sectors 81-99.
“Many people are given the Conditional Occency Certificate (OCS), given the lack of water pipeline in the area.
Now the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has put a master pipe in the new sectors.” “We will immediately issue notice to all developers who have not registered.
For GMDA water connections, if they face obstacles in getting connections, we will coordinate with the metropolitan authority.
We have coordinated with GMDA to ensure the water requirements in the housing community and also make efforts to curb illegal groundwater extraction in the area, “he added.
Residents claim that many developers have adopted an indifferent attitude towards this problem while others dillying-hilating problems because they have to come out around Rs 3-4 lakh to get a GMDA water connection.
This, they said, not only places financial burdens to them because they depend on water tankers but also cause health problems.
In particular, a few days the population of SS Coralwood fell ill after allegedly consuming contaminated water.
Water supplied from Borewell to a residential community.
Praveen Malik, Vice President of the New Association of Gurugram and residents of Sare’s house, said, “There was a Nexus between several builders and tankers, which was why they deliberately did not take water connections from GMDA.
Gurgaon has been in the dark zone and illegal ground water extraction increasingly causing Environmental hazards that need to be considered by authority.
“Amit Shekhar, Vipul Vice President Lavanya Rwa, said,” People have skin and hair problems because of hard water use, even though we must often serve our ro because the water has a salt level (TDS) Total high dissolved.
Ironically that even after GMDA has begun to supply water to new sectors, we cannot benefit from it.
