Gurgaon: Chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar will, on Friday, inaugurate nine road infrastructure projects in the city, worth nearly Rs 98 crore, and lay the foundation stone for the construction of a 100 MLD water treatment unit at the Chandu Budhera plant.
These projects of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) are part of the Rs 2,000-cr projects that are to be inaugurated by the CM on Friday.
Among the city’s nine road infrastructure projects that are to be inaugurated by Khattar is the over Rs 47 crore Atul Kataria Chowk redevelopment project that includes a 731-metre-long four-lane flyover to ease traffic congestion for commuters plying between Kapashera Chowk and Mahavir Chowk and a four-lane underpass from Sheetla Mata Mandir towards Maharana Pratap Chowk.
“Atul Kataria Chowk is one of the busiest intersections in the city and sees heavy volume of traffic. The revamped Chowk will ease traffic congestion and streamline traffic flow,” said GMDA’s chief executive officer Sudhir Rajpal.
To further improve connectivity and mobility within the city, special repair projects of various city roads have been completed by the GMDA.
“A total of 27.33km of road length has been upgraded and 27km of footpaths have been repaired on both sides of the roads,” said Rajpal.
The right special road repair projects worth Rs 50.11 crore which will be inaugurated by CM include 1.76km master sector dividing road in sectors 17/18 executed at a cost of Rs 5.68 crore, 2.07km master road of sectors 3/5 and 4/7 executed at a cost of Rs 2.96 crore, and 4.87km road from HUDA City Centre to Subhash Chowk executed at a cost of Rs 6.64 crore.
Khattar will also lay the foundation stone for the construction of the 100 MLD unit number 4 water treatment plant at Chandu Budhera, which is being taken up by the GMDA to augment water supply to benefit the residents of sectors 58-115 in the future.
The project cost is Rs 70.20 crore. Currently, the GMDA is supplying 300 MLD of water from the Chandu Budhera water treatment plant (WTP). “Augmentation of water supply in the city is a major agenda of the GMDA. We will soon initiate the construction work on the unit at Chandu Budhera,” said Rajpal.
GMDA plans to increase the capacities of its two WTPs to augment the overall supply by over 50% by 2024. At present, it supplies 300 MLD of treated water from Chandu Budhera WTP and 270 MLD from Basai WTP. GMDA is now planning to add an additional capacity of 290 MLD in both the WTPs.
