He directed officials to ensure permanent solutions in areas including Saraswati Enclave, Khandsa, Basai, Naharpur Rupa, Indira Colony, Narsinghpur, Mohammadpur Jharsa, Begampur Khatola, Maidawas, Noorpur Mod, Badshahpur, New Colony, Devilal Colony, Bhawani Enclave, Jharsa, Islampur, Shivaji Nagar, Laxmi Garden, Sector-40, Rajiv Colony, Sector-31, Ghata, Bandhwari, Behrampur, Chakkarpur, Kanhai, Rajendra Park, Surat Nagar, Tekchand Nagar, and Jacobpura.

Desilting work is already under way in several of these areas, and the remaining places will see work begin before December 31, the Cell was told.

A Corporation spokesperson said: “In Rajendra Park, Surat Nagar, and Tekchand Nagar, internal line cleaning is ongoing, and a tender for laying a new line to the Jahajgarh Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) has been allotted. Work will start next week.”

Also, the spokesperson said, “A proposal for a 900 mm line to the Dhanwapur STP (sewage treatment plant) has been approved by the Finance and Contract Committee, and the tender process is in progress. Continuous water drainage is being managed through suction tankers in these areas.”

Dahiya announced the formation of a committee headed by Municipal Corporation of Gurugram Chief Engineer Vijay Dhaka to identify locations where sewage water is flowing into creeks or other water bodies. The committee will prepare a detailed report and ensure permanent solutions.

At the meeting, which was attended by senior officials including Dhaka, Additional Commissioner Yash Jaluka, and Joint Commissioner Vishal Kumar, the commissioner also reviewed public grievance and resolution camps.

The civic body had constituted the Sewerage Management Cell in July to improve the management, maintenance, and monitoring of sewerage systems in the city.

The Cell oversees the regular monitoring of sewerage operations, ensures the timely payment of related bills, and addresses operational issues. It plans for future needs, executes tender processes, and identifies suitable land for new sewerage projects.
