Faulty motor leaves Gurgaon’s Sushant Lok 2 high and dry, no supply for a month | Gurgaon News
Gurgaon: Nearly 2,000 families in A and A1 blocks of Sushant Lok 2 have been without GMDA water supply for over a month due to a faulty motor. This has forced residents to depend entirely on borewell water amid concerns over depleting groundwater levels.Residents said the issue lies at the junction where GMDA’s main water line connects with the colony’s internal distribution network, maintained by MCG. A motor installed there to push water into the internal pipeline system has remained dysfunctional for over a month, disrupting supply to both blocks.Residents said adjoining sectors and societies continue to receive regular canal water supply, while A and A1 blocks are relying solely on groundwater extraction.“Every few days, the motor is repaired, but it stops functioning again within hours. There is no permanent solution in place and the issue is being managed through temporary fixes,” said the RWA president of the two blocks, Vinita Sinha.Residents said the situation is particularly concerning because of the city’s falling groundwater levels. “Why should nearly 2,000 families depend entirely on borewell water when the GMDA supply is available nearby? Continuous extraction will further worsen groundwater depletion,” Sinha added.According to residents, the motor recently caught fire and was repaired again temporarily. They claimed the existing motor and pipe size are inadequate to draw sufficient water into the colony’s internal distribution system and may require replacement or augmentation.Digvijay Singh, vice-president of the RWA, said repeated complaints have been raised with civic authorities, but no long-term solution has been implemented. “There is no stable system in place at present. Repairs are carried out repeatedly, but the problem resurfaces almost immediately,” he said.Residents said MCG officials assured them that the issue would be resolved, but no timeline has been provided for the restoration of regular supply.Meanwhile, MCG’s chief engineer Vijay Dhaka said he will look into the matter and do the needful.
