Gurugram MP Proposes Artificial Lake to Address Waterlogging and Groundwater Recharge
Gurugram MP and Union Minister Rao Inderjit Singh has proposed creating an artificial lake on over 20 acres of Haryana Tourism Department land near the Sirhaul border to address recurring monsoon waterlogging and promote groundwater recharge. He cited expert consultations and urged satellite mapping to identify and restore natural drainage channels, noting that urbanization and encroachments have worsened waterlogging in areas like Nathupur and DLF Phase 3. The plan also includes similar lakes on waterlogged agricultural land with compensation for landowners.
