Delhi’s Shame: Mundka’s Sewage Nightmare on NH-9
Mundka, a bustling neighbourhood on Delhi’s National Highway 9, continues to grapple with a chronic sewage overflow problem. This persistent issue has led to the formation of massive potholes and widespread waterlogging, creating a hazardous situation for commuters and residents alike.
The problem isn’t new. Despite repeated assurances from both the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) administrations, the situation remains unchanged, leaving residents frustrated and neglected.
A planned Rs 115 crore redevelopment project, spanning 18 kilometres of the highway, offers a glimmer of hope. However, the prolonged neglect has already forced many families to abandon their homes, highlighting the severity of the crisis.
The deplorable conditions on NH-9 in Mundka underscore the urgent need for effective governance and infrastructure development. The upcoming redevelopment project must be swiftly implemented to prevent further displacement and restore the dignity of this neglected community. The plight of Mundka serves as a stark reminder of the infrastructural challenges faced by many urban areas across India.
