MCG reduces Gurugram zones from 8 to 6, creates two clusters

The new structure covers all 36 wards across 297.984 sq km, with three zones each under Cluster 1 and Cluster 2

The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has reduced its administrative zones from eight to six and reorganised them into two administrative clusters to strengthen supervision, improve coordination and speed up delivery of municipal services.

Zone VI is the largest at 104.862 sq km, while Zone II is the smallest at 9.356 sq km under the revised administrative setup. (HT)

The new structure came into effect on September 8 through an office order issued by MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya, following the Haryana government’s sanction of the civic body’s staffing pattern based on six zone/division offices.

Under the new arrangement, Cluster 1 will comprise Zones I, II and III, while Cluster 2 will consist of Zones IV, V and VI. Together, the six zones cover all 36 wards of the municipal corporation and an area of 297.984 sq km.

“The restructuring has been undertaken with the objective of making the administrative system more efficient and responsive. By reorganising the municipal area into six zones under two administrative clusters, we aim to strengthen supervision, improve coordination between different branches and ensure that public grievances and civic-service issues are addressed more promptly,” Dahiya said.

Six zones cover all 36 wards

Under Cluster 1, Zone I comprises wards 11, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18; Zone II comprises wards 8, 10, 28, 29, 30 and 32; and Zone III includes wards 5, 6, 7, 9, 33 and 34, officials said. Under Cluster 2, Zone IV covers wards 1, 2, 3, 4, 35 and 36; Zone V covers wards 12, 13, 25, 26, 27 and 31; and Zone VI comprises wards 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. Zone VI is the largest at 104.862 sq km, while Zone II is the smallest at 9.356 sq km.

The office order said detailed responsibilities, administrative control, supervisory arrangements, reporting hierarchy, allocation of branches and deployment of officers and officials for the new clusters and zones would be notified separately. Until then, officers and officials will continue under existing instructions and arrangements.

The order was circulated among senior MCG officials, including the mayor, additional commissioners, chief engineer, joint commissioners, chief town planner, executive engineers, zonal taxation officers and senior sanitation inspectors for necessary action.
