Gurgaon: Residents of Sector 22B have complained about the poor condition of internal roads, stating that no major repairs or recarpeting have been carried out since they were laid nearly a decade ago.According to residents, the roads have since developed deep potholes, cracks and uneven patches. Motorists said driving on these stretches has become difficult and increases the risk of accidents. They added that repeated complaints to the civic body have not led to timely repairs.“Large potholes have appeared across several stretches. Drivers are forced to move slowly to avoid them. This increases the risk of accidents. We raised the issue with MCG multiple times, but there was no visible action on the ground,” said Bhim Singh Yadav, former RWA president of the sector.Residents said the situation worsens during the rainy season when potholes fill with water and become difficult to spot. In dry weather, the craters are temporarily filled with debris and loose soil, which leads to dust as vehicles pass.“The dust rises every time a vehicle drives over these patches. Children and elderly residents who step out for walks are affected most by it. There have been instances of elderly residents falling down while on their walk,” said Naresh Yadav, a resident.An MCG official acknowledged the issue and said the process for road resurfacing has been initiated. “We have floated the tender for resurfacing of internal roads in the sector. However, the water pipeline in the area needs to be replaced before the resurfacing work can begin. The tender for pipeline replacement is currently under technical evaluation,” the official said.The resurfacing will be taken up after the pipeline work is completed to avoid repeated cutting of roads, officials said.
