Millennium City battles civic woes as municipal polls pending for 2 yrs

As a way of protesting, some RWAs have even boycotted recently-held Lok Sabha elections

EVERY year, the onset of monsoon brings about a familiar site for the residents of Gurgram heavily waterlogged streets that make daily commute nearly impossible. Residents often take to social media to ridicule the city's misgovernance with many sarcastically praising authorities for turning their flats into "seafacing" luxury apartments.

Flooding, however, is not the only issue plaguing the 'Millenium City'. Residents frequently complain of overflowing sewers, water scarcity, damaged roads and irregular garbage collection. Some of the city's Residents Welfare Associations (RWAs) even went so far as to boycott the recentlyheld Lok Sabha polls until conditions improved.
