Sector 40 in Gurugram, Haryana, is facing significant civic infrastructure challenges, with residents expressing frustration over ongoing issues such as clogged rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems, poor sanitation, and deteriorating roads. Abhimanyu Yadav, president of the residents’ welfare association, highlighted that RWH systems have not been cleaned in over 15 years, leading to increased risks of waterlogging ahead of the monsoon season. Residents also criticized the irregular presence of sanitation workers, which has compounded the sanitation crisis. Despite a ₹440-crore tender for road sweeping being approved, residents are concerned that inadequate staffing will leave areas unattended. Furthermore, the construction of a water boosting station has been delayed due to land encroachments, affecting water supply reliability. Local authorities have acknowledged these issues and are reportedly taking steps to address them, including initiating repairs and cleaning efforts. However, residents remain doubtful about the effectiveness and timeliness of these measures.
