GURUGRAM: Monsoon is simplest 3 weeks away and with the current pace of labor, it sort of feels unlikely that the paintings of widening the Badshapur drain can be completed on time, which is giving rise to apprehensions about water-logging on the notorious spot close to Hero Honda Chowk where the drain crosses the national highway.
When TOI visited the spot final Monday, we found there have been infrequently a couple of workers on the website.
According to resources in Huda, the drain is being widened for a period of just about 2km and of that, the first 800 metres is correct on the national highway. More than 80% paintings on this stretch is incomplete. Over 50% paintings is incomplete on the remainder of the stretch (1,200 metres).
“One of the key hurdles is the acquisition of one of the most properties in Khandsa village close to NH8. The family is asking for 4 alternative plots, instead of one. Unless the home is acquired and demolished, the paintings can be stuck,” said a supply.
Of the other 35 properties coming in the way in which of the drain widening, all had been acquired. However, even for the homes that have been acquired, the demolition is not absolutely whole. The construction and demolition waste has been dumped in parts of the drain. Workers had been getting rid of the waste but it could take identical time.
Also, there are just about 25 electrical poles within the 1,200-metre stretch of the drain and the discom has no longer shifted them yet. On the other hand, Huda nonetheless doesn’t have permission for tree felling on the website.
The authorities even have no longer finalised the alignment of the drain. “It was once determined that the alignment of the drain could be modified after an industrialist from the realm approached the court docket but it hasn’t been finalised yet,” said resources.
The 28-km-long Badshapur drain starts from Ghata and for the reason that gradient is decrease close to Khandsa, the water takes pace at this level. The general capability of the drain between Ghata and Khandsa is two,300 cusecs and at Khandsa, the capability considerably comes right down to 500 cusescs, causing water-logging at this junction, each and every time it rains.
This is likely one of the the explanation why the national highway was once jammed for more than ten hours right through the “Gurgujam” in 2016. Following this, chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar had ordered the officials to widen the drain on the junction where it crossed the national highway close to Khandsa village. The thought was once to ensure that there are no reruns of the “Gurujam”. However two years later, the paintings on the drain remains to be no longer whole.
