GURUGRAM: : Residents of N block of Mayfield Garden have expressed concern over the blockade of the 14- metre-wide road in the colony for the past few years. The residents pointed out that there was a 14-metre-wide road abutting boundary wall of the women police station through a commercial site of 6 acres as per the approved layout plan of N block. However, at present there has been no access to this 200- metre-long stretch as it has been blocked by the grille fence and cement sheet by the developer. This, they say, has resulted into non-maintenance of essential utilities services, including sewage, storm water drain and water supply pipelines which pass through this road, causing lot of hardship for the residents. “Sewage and stormwater drain (SWD) lines are choked. As a result, sewage is overflowing onto internal roads of the society. As the stretch is blocked, it has become impossible to carry out any maintenance of these public health services as no suction machine or any cleaning machinery can go on the site,” said Jeevagan Nadar, a resident.
Besides, the road is not motorable with undergrowth and has become a dump yard of construction waste. The residents claimed to have made several complaints to the developer and even written to the concerned authority but to no avail. “The dumping of construction waste and garbage has buried the manholes and undergrowth on the road right of way. Overflowing of effluent is leading to mosquitoes breeding besides emanating foul stench and polluting the environment. As the transfer of the colony to MCG is under process, neither the civic body nor the developer are paying any heed to our concern,” said Dharamvir Yadav, another resident. Meanwhile, Ajay Shokeen, project in-charge of Mayfield Garden said, “The road passes through a commercial complex that belong to another developer and do not fall under Mayfield projects. However, they (another developer) have already started cleaning of all the services sewers and SWD, even clearing the road.”
