To address long-pending civic concerns, Haryana Chief Principal Secretary (CPS) to CM, Rajesh Khullar, has been stationed in Gurugram for the past five days, holding reviews with officials, local bodies, and residents.

During an inspection of Rajiv Chowk, Farukhnagar–Basai Road and Dhankaut Road, Khullar directed authorities to clear road encroachments, strengthen berms, and improve traffic flow. He stressed that officials must bring visible changes. “The public should feel the difference after your posting here,” he told officers.

At a high-level review with GMDA, MCG, HSVP, police and district administration, issues such as waterlogging, solid waste management, garbage disposal, stray cattle, and road infrastructure were taken up. GMDA informed that a comprehensive drainage plan has been executed, covering 12 critical waterlogging points including Narsinghpur, Rajiv Chowk, Khandsa Chowk, Umang Bhardwaj Chowk, and Ambience Mall area. Construction of stormwater drains is also in progress.

Khullar expressed concern over stray cattle accidents and ordered a mechanism to make Gurugram roads cattle-free. He also directed civic agencies to clear garbage and construction debris from roadsides, warning that heaps of waste present a “filthy picture” of the city.

Meanwhile, progress on the ₹550 crore Sheetla Mata Devi Medical College and Hospital at Kherki Majra was reviewed. The project, which includes teaching blocks, hostels, a nursing college, and a trauma centre, is expected to be handed over to the Health Department by the year-end.
