GMDA and HSVP Collaborate to Improve Gurugram's Drainage and Reduce Waterlogging
The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) and Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) are working jointly to complete and enhance the city's stormwater drainage system. Recent efforts include ongoing construction in multiple sectors, desilting over 70 km of drains, and installing new infrastructure to reduce waterlogging. GMDA reports a significant decrease in flood-prone areas from around 90 in 2019 to seven this monsoon, with targeted engineering solutions underway at remaining hotspots. Coordination between agencies aims to improve drainage efficiency and manage heavy rainfall impacts.
