Gurgaon: More than a decade after the Vatika India Next township was launched, two patches of a planned sector road—measuring 50 meters and 15 meters—remain incomplete, leaving around 10,000 families without seamless connectivity. Residents said the missing links are part of a planned 24-metre-wide sector road and have remained undone since they started living in the township in 2013 due to pending land acquisition.
Impact on Daily Commute
Though the unfinished portions are relatively small in length, they have prevented the road network from becoming fully functional. Residents said the road serves as a key access route to the Dwarka Expressway and is very crucial for daily commute. "The issue has persisted despite repeated complaints to both the developer and authorities, affecting thousands of families in the area," said Pradip Rahi, RWA president of Vatika G21.
Safety and Infrastructure Concerns
Residents also pointed to recurring waterlogging during the monsoon, saying the incomplete infrastructure aggravates commuting difficulties. "Returning home after dark feels unsafe because the stretch remains poorly lit. This is the main road used by residents of the township as well as people travelling to nearby sectors and societies. Moreover, there is a school in the vicinity and buses from other schools are forced to navigate through the unpaved portion. It provides our most direct connection to the Dwarka Expressway; without it, commuters are forced to take a detour of nearly 7 kilometers," said Parul Gupta, a resident of G21.
Government Announcement
While presenting the state's budget in March, the chief minister announced that the government will initiate land acquisition to develop a long-pending 24-meter-wide road in the city's licensed colonies, with the cost to be recovered from builders. Meanwhile, the senior town planner, Renuka Singh, could not be reached for comment.
Residents continue to urge authorities to expedite the completion of the road, emphasizing that the delay has caused significant inconvenience and safety hazards for the community.
