HUDA
is planning to make SPR operation by mid-September and for this around 16
oustees of Rambir Ki Dhani were allotted alternative plots in Sector 49 on
August 24. It has cleared the last obstacle coming in the way of 16km-long SPR
which originate from Gurgaon-Faridabad Road near Ghata and meet NH-8 near
Kherki Dhaula via Sohna Road.
HUDA officials along with around 100 policemen reached at Rambir Ki Dhani on
Saturday for removal of the structures of oustees, who have been allotted
alternative plots, and simultaneously started the road construction work.
"Only
small portion of road in between Vatika Chowk and NH-8 was left out, from today
we started the work to complete the remaining work," said HUDA administration Yashpal Yadav adding that very positive about fulfilling their
commitment to make this road operational by mid-September. He said completion
of this road will improve connectivity of Golf Course Road, Faridabad Road,
Sohna Road and nearby areas with NH-8 and it will reduce traffic load on
Delhi-Gurgaon expressway.
The
move is expected to boost the real estate industry in Gurgaon as many
commercial and residential projects are being developer along the SPR. The
completion of this road is also expected to improve connectivity of new Sectors
58-80, developed along the SPR, with rest of the city and NH-8.
Ashish
Jerath, Head Sales, Emaar MGF Land Ltd., who has project along SPR, said,
"Opening of SPR will be positive for residents of Gurgaon and it will fill
one of important gaps in connectivity of new Gurgaon sectors. Its opening is
expected to decongest Sohna Road and provide connectivity to several housing
projects between Sectors 68 to 77. Some of which have been already been
delivered and others are under construction." He said they are hoping that
similarly government will focus on filling the critical infra and connectivity
by completing NPR.
Along
with improving connectivity, today's development also likely to resolve issues
related to civic amenities in the sectors along SPR. With the removal of
structures from Rambir Ki Dhani Huda will also be able to build water supply
lines to Sectors 58-80, where for long, water has been supplied through water
tankers as the authority had failed to lay a pipeline due to obstacles in the
alignment of pipeline.
