News: Roads in a shambles: White Town House residents write to DLF-24-12-2020
GURUGRAM: Residents of White Town House in DLF-3 have written to the developer over the poor condition of the colony’s internal roads and sought repairs.
They pointed out that the entrance road of the society near lane U26, adjacent to the Hanuman temple, has several potholes and urgently needs resurfacing to prevent mishaps. They also wrote that no repair work had been initiated by the developer, despite several requests by them over the years.
The residents said the developer had cited reasons like not having enough budget or conducive weather conditions to carry out the re-carpeting work. “But it resurfaced the approach road from Pink Town Houses in the same weather conditions a few days ago,” a resident said.
PN Narayanaswamy, secretary of White Town Houses United RWA, said: “We have been complaining about the poor condition of the road for a very long time to no avail. Resurfacing of roads is being carried out in a selective manner and the developer seems unconcerned about residents’ problems.”
Pedestrians are finding it difficult to walk on the road in the absence of footpaths. “It is imperative to have quality infrastructure for the smooth movement of vehicles to ensure the safety of residents and commuters. During the monsoon season,drivers find it difficult to gauge potholes, resulting in mishaps,” Arjun Mangotra, executive member of the RWA, said.
The developer said the present weather conditions are not suitable for road repairs. “We can’t carry out re-carpeting work in winter as it is not conducive to lay the road during foggy weather conditions. We will initiate the work in March,” Shivendra Singh, manager (civil), DLF Estate Developers Ltd, said.
