Transition period ends amid upkeep worries in colonies

By Sumit Blogs -

Gurgaon: Councillors and residents of the private colonies recently taken over by MCG have raised concerns over upkeep of civic amenities in these areas from Thursday.
The 15-day transition period during which the developers of these colonies were to assist the civic body ends on the day, but MCG hasn’t deployed any staff to ensure smooth maintenance services, they said.
Commissioner Mukesh Kumar Ahuja will hold a meeting on Thursday with councillors and MCG officials on the major issues in the colonies recently taken over.
“We are apprehensive since developers won’t assist MCG from July 1 and the corporation has still not deployed sanitation staff or completely taken over all services. In the absence of a system, it would be problematic to manage routine affairs of these colonies. We have to work on a war footing to get these issues resolved. We have a meeting with the commissioner on Thursday,” said Kuldeep Yadav, councillor of ward 29.
The issue was also raised in the House meeting on Monday, in which Ahuja had said a meeting of MCG officials, residents and councillors would be held to discuss the issue.
The colonies taken over by MCG include Sushant Lok-2 and 3, Malibu Towne, Vipul World, Rosewood City, Uppal Southend and Ardee City.
“MCG should have deployed their manpower for these 15 days when the developer was still here for a seamless takeover, but it did nothing. We were celebrating when the news of the takeover came out, but now the standard of services provided has gone down instead of improving. The entire water supply system, which had been running smoothly for the past 15 years, has suddenly been disrupted. Streetlights are not switched on,” said Chaitali Mandhotra, a resident and member of Ardee City RWA.
She added, “We have been pleading with MCG to deploy their staff in the water boosting station. There is no deployment of staff on the ground for any service. Their only emphasis is on providing tankers, one tanker each for 500 residents. We have given up hopes of infrastructure upgrade for now because we want our basic needs to be fulfilled first.” After the department of town and country planning (DTCP) issued an order on May 9, MCG had decided to take over the colonies by June 15. After the takeover, MCG is in charge of essential services such as water supply, door-to-door waste collection, roads, sewerage and drainage in these colonies.

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
