Sector 48 residents flag congestion, garbage and waterlogging along Sohna Road

Ambulances have struggled to enter Vipul Greens during traffic jams outside the Sector 48 condominium, residents said. The residents’ welfare association has opened a first-aid clinic in the clubhouse.

Amit Jindal, the RWA president, said traffic on Sohna Road has increased with commercial activity around Candor Techspace and Orchid Business Park, while the road outside the society has not widened. Stray cattle on narrow roads also contribute to frequent hold-ups, he said.

Residents also reported waterlogging on Sohna Road during the monsoon. Near Vega School, Tatvam Villas resident Manjeev Agrawal said water can collect to nearly two feet during heavy rain. Manoj Ahlawat, a sub-divisional officer at the MCG, said the civic body had identified three waterlogging points and dug sump wells to drain excess water.

Residents said damaged roads, unpaved shoulders and garbage piles along internal stretches create dust and reduce usable road space. They identified queues near the Sohna Road CNG station and double-row parking by auto-rickshaws and e-rickshaws near CD Chowk, by Shriram Dhaba, as choke points. Traffic police said vehicles move slowly on Sohna Road during peak hours and that action could follow a formal complaint.
