The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has started preparations months in advance to avoid waterlogging during the monsoon. It has identified 32 waterlogging spots across the city, where the problem was particularly bad in the past two years. The points include the service road along the Delhi-Jaipur highway in Narsinghpur, the mini secretariat, Hero Honda Chowk, Golf Course Road and Sheetla Mata road.
Officials have been instructed to clean four natural creeks in the Aravallis that are vital for recharging the groundwater table. A joint team of MCG and Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) officials visited the spots to ensure adequate drainage arrangements. Officials said teams had been directed to complete the work of cleaning stormwater drainage by May end.
