GMDA kicks off repair work on key new sector roads

By Sumit Blogs -

Gurgaon: People residing in sectors 81 to 115 and commuters frequenting these areas could soon find the roads to be significantly more motorable, with Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) working towards making them “pothole-free” within the next “two to three months”.
According to officials, the roads between sectors 58 and 115 have been in poor shape ever since they were handed over to GMDA by Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP). Recently, these stretches were internally transferred within GMDA, from one division to the other, further delaying repairs.
Now, however, annual repairs have been initiated, with the GMDA first targeting the stretches between sectors 81 and 115, which house several gated condominiums, hotels, office complexes and commercial spaces.
“We have started a drive to make the entire road network free of potholes by undertaking maintenance and patchwork along the stretches. This is routine work, normally done after the monsoon. We expect that although the task will take place in continuity later on as well, we will be able to make all roads in these parts pothole-free in the next two or three months,” said Amit Godara, executive engineer, GMDA’s infrastructure I division. He added that the roads will be ready in time for the next monsoon.
Godara further pointed out that if the problem is resolved in one go in the entire area, maintenance would become easier later.
Several residents TOI spoke to expressed relief.
“Removal of potholes is a much-needed intervention in the new sectors of Gurgaon. I hope the work done is of good quality that is able to manage the traffic load and sustain, at least for some time. If the work is poor and potholes develop again within days, there is no point,” said Nishant Upadhyay, a resident of Sector 84.
Nalini Kumar, a resident of Sector 86, said, “Potholes have been a constant problem for everyone who lives in or visits this area. They not only increase traffic congestion, but can also lead to mishaps. So, any work being done towards their removal is welcome. My only concern is that this doesn’t just end up being one of the claims made by GMDA and that it actually materialises on the ground.”

Hrithik-Saif’s Vikram Vedha hits a roadblock

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
