A bumpy ride on this service road along e-way

GURGAON: The service road along the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway between Rajiv Chowk and Hero Honda Chowk is in a shambles, to say the least. And this has been the scenario for the past so many months. While until now the agencies responsible for the road's upkeep blamed the monsoon for its bad condition, they are now passing the buck, claiming it's not their responsibility to repair the road heavily used by commuters.

The common man, however, is at the receiving end of the blame game. While the private concessionaire of the expressway, Delhi Gurgaon Super Connectivity Limited (DGSCL), claims that it's not its responsibility to fix the service road, it blames the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) for its deteriorating condition.

"Even though this service road belongs to us, its maintenance is not done by us but by HUDA as this department has failed to find a permanent solution to the waterlogging that takes place every monsoon season. They have taken over this stretch of the service road and it is their responsibility to carry out its repair," said a DGSCL spokesperson.

The HUDA administrator, on the other hand, simply rubbished this claim. "They are shying away from their responsibility and are purposefully not presenting the whole truth. The fact is that the service road is also to be maintained by them along with the expressway. They cannot simply shift the blame on us. We are only trying to help them out by building a drainage for the rainwater, for which we have recently approved an estimate of Rs 70 lakh," said HUDA administrator Praveen Kumar.

"I recently met the DGSCL head and showed him the condition of the service road. He promised to spend around Rs 6 lakh to get this important road repaired. I will ask them to carry out the repair immediately," he added.

This service road is the only arterial road that connects various residential sectors including Sector 10 and 10-A, apart from various industries located near Hero Honda Chowk. The shopkeepers alongside the service road complain that their business has plummeted as people have started to stop coming here.
