No timeline has been set for the preparation of a detailed project report for the project.The instructions were issued during the CM’s visit to Gurgaon for a district grievance committee meeting. Saini took note of the sanitation conditions at Rezang La Chowk and laid stress on the “beautification and cleanliness” of the two junctions.“These places should not only remain clean but also enhance the city’s aesthetics. Rezang La Memorial should undergo proper beautification, redesigning and overall upgradation to make it more attractive, dignified and impactful. Atul Kataria Chowk will undergo similar redevelopment and beautification,” Saini said, adding that green spaces should be developed at these locations and regular sanitation systems should be strengthened.A total of 15 complaints were presented, out of which 11 were resolved on the spot by the chief minister, while directions were issued to keep four cases pending for the next meeting. He instructed the concerned officials to present status reports on these pending cases at the next meeting.Representatives of Sector 10 resident welfare association from informed the chief minister that sewage in the area frequently overflows, causing severe inconvenience to residents. Taking note of the issue, the CM directed the officials to prepare a detailed proposal for a modern and efficient sewerage system for the sector at the earliest to ensure a permanent solution. Until a new system is implemented, interim arrangements — such as regular cleaning, pumping and effective drainage management — should be ensured to provide relief to residents and maintain cleanliness.Responding to concerns raised during the session, the CM said the city’s waterlogging situation has improved in recent years, attributing recent flooding to unexpected heavy rainfall rather than systemic lapses.Saini directed officials to work with sensitivity and promptness in resolving public grievances. “Wherever any issue comes to your (officers) notice or a citizen approaches directly with a complaint, it should be addressed on priority and resolved effectively at the earliest,” the CM said and stressed that the objective of the administration should not merely be to take action, but to provide relief to people.
