More than a month after the Haryana government ordered transfer of 33 Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) sectors to the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG), the move has evoked strong opposition from several Residents' Welfare Associations (RWAs).
“We are shocked to know that Haryana government is transferring our Sector-52 to the MCG. But how can you transfer a sector without any civic infrastructure? There is no proper sewage system, no roads, no water supply and unauthorised encroachment on the plots. The MCG staff is good for nothing as anyone can see the condition of areas which are under the MCG.
The government should revoke their decision of transferring our sector to the MCG,” said Ravi Arora, vice-president, RWA Sector 52 Part-I. Several other RWAs have similar reservations about the transfer.
With a view to ensure better maintenance of all amenities in and greater satisfaction of residents of those sectors of Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) where more than five years had elapsed after completion of development works, the Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal had last month approved a standard set of terms and conditions for transfer of such sectors to the concerned Municipal Corporations in the State as also the transfer of 33 such HUDA Sectors to the Municipal Corporation Gurgaon (MCG).
The order specifies a three-month window in which HUDA must complete infrastructure work in the sectors.
