GURUGRAM: Over ten years since the launch of Vatika India Next township, two segments of a planned sector road—50m and 15m—remain unfinished, affecting connectivity for around 10,000 families.

Residents reported that these gaps are part of a planned 24-meter-wide sector road and have been incomplete since they moved to the township in 2013, due to pending land acquisition.

While the unfinished sections are relatively short, their absence has hindered the overall functionality of the road network.

“This road is crucial for accessing the Dwarka Expressway and our daily commute,” said Pradip Rahi, president of the Vatika G21 Residents’ Welfare Association. “Despite multiple complaints to both the developer and authorities, the issue continues to affect countless families.”

Residents highlighted issues like recurring waterlogging during monsoon, which complicates travel. “Returning home after dark is unsafe due to poor lighting. This road is the main way for residents and visitors to nearby sectors and societies. With a school nearby, buses must navigate through unpaved areas. This road links us directly to the Dwarka Expressway; without it, commuters face a 7km detour,” added Parul Gupta, a G21 resident.

During the state budget presentation in March, the Chief Minister announced plans to proceed with land acquisition for a long-awaited 24m-wide road in the city’s licensed colonies, with costs to be recouped from builders. Efforts to contact senior town planner Renuka Singh for comments were unsuccessful.
