According to GMDA officials, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) and the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) are carrying out work in their respective jurisdictions.

Amit Godara, executive engineer, GMDA said: “The work includes pothole repair, road resurfacing and paving, and installation of streetlights and traffic infrastructure.
