Monsoon near, GMDA plans new drain line to ease DLF-2 flooding | Gurgaon News

Gurgaon: A new stormwater drainage line connecting Sector 25 with the master drain along Sector 17-18 dividing road will soon be constructed to address the chronic waterlogging in parts of DLF Phase-2 and areas in the vicinity.Under the plan, GMDA will lay a 2.1-km-long and 1,200-mm-diameter pipeline through trenchless technology and channel it into the master drain along the Sector 17-18 road for better disposal of rainwater. The project is estimated to cost around Rs 3.6 crore and is expected to take at least seven months to complete after work begins.Since the bidding process just started, residents doubt there will be any relief from waterlogging this monsoon. “Akasheen Marg and Gulmohar Marg are among the vulnerable stretches that get flooded during heavy rain. We have raised the matter with the civic authorities multiple times,” Col Anil Nanda (Retd), a resident. Locals in DLF Phase 2 have frequently flagged flooding on internal roads and stretches near Cyber City during moderate to heavy rainfall, with waterlogging often leading to traffic snarls.
