As per license agreements, builders are supposed to build internal roads, but due to lack of a clear policy, the fate of these roads hangs in uncertainty. In other cases, demarcation by HSVP is pending,” said a senior GMDA official, requesting anonymity.GMDA has already drawn up the blueprint for developing these roads. A meeting between GMDA and HSVP officials has been called on this issue this Thursday, where outstanding issues will be cleared up. As of now, these families are using revenue roads and other un-metaled roads for connectivity. There are at least 100 residential societies around these proposed roads, and 4-5 lakh residents will benefit from them.

GURUGRAM: The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority ( GMDA ) has directed Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran ( HSVP ) to resolve hindrances and illegalities holding up construction of the master road and some internal roads in sectors 58 and 115.According to senior GMDA officials, development of roads in the new sectors has been delayed by multiple issues, including permission from the forest department, litigations, removal of encroachments and changes in alignment. A stretch-wise list has been drawn up, along with a list of issues holding up work on these stretches.“In some cases, while plot owners have been awarded alternative plots, they are yet to move out, which is delaying the construction of roads. In other cases, demarcation by HSVP is pending,” said a senior GMDA official, requesting anonymity.GMDA has already drawn up the blueprint for developing these roads.

A meeting between GMDA and HSVP officials has been called on this issue this Thursday, where outstanding issues will be cleared up. GMDA sources said CEO V Umashankar has listed the matter as priority.While master roads in sectors such as 58, 61, 62, 66, 67, 72, 73, 74, 82, 89 and others will be developed by the Authority, official said they might also include some internal roads. “We’re hopeful the issues will be sorted out by this month-end for us to start work,” said the official.The question of who would build, repair and maintain the master road and internal roads in new sectors was a big pain for residents, as there was no clear policy on this.In April, 2018, GMDA declared it will provide all master services, like roads and water, in these sectors. For this, it had divided the new sectors into four groups — sectors 58-67, 68-80, 81-97 and 98-115.GMDA was also planning to take up construction of the 24m roads in these sectors. As per license agreements, builders are supposed to build internal roads, but due to lack of a clear policy, the fate of these roads hangs in uncertainty.
