Haryana minister Rao Narbir Singh has announced that the foundation for Gurugram's prosperous future will be established over the next five years through enhanced connectivity and a robust road network.

Speaking during a visit to Vatika City in Sector 49 on Sunday (5 January), the Badshahpur MLA, who also serves as the minister for industries, commerce, environment, forests, and wildlife, outlined key infrastructure projects planned for the district.

As part of these efforts, an elevated road will be constructed from the Gurugram-Jaipur National Highway to Vatika Chowk, along with four flyovers from Vatika Chowk to Ghata. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 800 crore.

According to an official statement, a detailed project report (DPR) is being prepared by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), and work is expected to begin soon.

"It is our collective responsibility to turn Gurugram into a beautiful and clean city. Over the next five years, the opinions of common people will be prioritised in all development projects in the district. The present government does not only make promises in the 'Sankalp Patra', but ensures their fulfilment," Singh said.

During the event, the minister also addressed public concerns and directed officials to ensure effective implementation of government schemes so that citizens receive their full benefits. He emphasised the importance of meeting all necessary criteria when planning and executing development projects.

Responding to a demand for a community centre at Close South in Sector 50, Singh assured that work on the project would commence within the next two months.

On complaints of encroachment on the green belt along the 12-km stretch from Vatika Chowk to Ghata, Singh said district town planner RS Bhath has been appointed as the nodal officer to address the issue.

A deadline of 31 January has been set to make the stretch encroachment-free.
