Sushant Lok 2 residents seek fixes for roads, lighting and waterlogging

Residents of Sushant Lok Phase 2 have flagged a cluster of civic issues they say affect daily life across the Gurugram colony, including broken internal roads, poor lighting, delayed garbage collection, uneven water supply and flooding after rain.

The Residents’ Welfare Association estimates that nearly 7km of the area’s roughly 30km road network needs repairs. Residents said potholes and uneven surfaces are particularly visible on service roads and internal lanes, making movement harder for motorists and pedestrians. Some also questioned the durability of recently repaired stretches.

The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) said bitumen-based road work cannot be undertaken during the monsoon and that pending repairs will be completed after the season. It said complaints regarding newer roadwork would be inspected.

Streetlight failures are another concern, with residents reporting poorly lit stretches and unstable older poles. An MCG official said a tender for replacement and new streetlights is expected to be floated, with installation projected to take about one to one-and-a-half months after the process is completed.

Residents also said door-to-door waste collection can be delayed by two to three days, leading to rubbish being left outside homes or dumped in open plots. The MCG said it is strengthening collection services and issuing challans where agencies fail to meet standards.

For waterlogging, the civic body said desilting has been completed but the area will be inspected again following the complaints. Residents have also reported low-pressure and interrupted water supply, sometimes relying on private tankers.
