Several Gurugram sectors are grappling with severe waterlogging and overflowing sewage, but not only have government agencies not taken any concrete action against the problems, they have passed the buck.

GURUGRAM:

Gurugram sectors 5, 21, 22, 23A, 45 and 82 are among the worst affected with foul smell, stagnant water, and health risks caused by a faulty sewage system.

Authorities blame each other While MCG officials blame the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) for the problems, saying that GMDA's sewage treatment plant (STP) is not functioning correctly, GMDA officials deny these claims.

"These issues are arising because the STP managed by GMDA is not working properly, causing sewer water to overflow in some areas," said an MCG official requesting anonymity.

But GMDA spokesperson Neha Sharma said, "The sewage treatment plant is emptied daily. There is no problem from our side."
