Industry pitch in to tackle Gurgaon traffic mess : Assocham

As this city comes to a halt post a heavy rainfall, industry body Assocham has urged the Haryana government to clear the ‘monsoon mess’ and asked the industry to earmark a percentage of their profit towards perking up city infrastructure. Thousands of office goers and other commuters were today stranded here as heavy rains led to water-logging on National Highway-8 causing massive traffic jams, forcing authorities to shut down schools in Delhi’s satellite city while some offices too declared it an off. The industry body conducted a survey of about 1,500 residents to assess the Millennium City’s preparedness for monsoon season. About 55 per cent of the total respondents complained of civic crisis as piles of garbage including construction and other waste end up coming on roads which create serious health hazards.
