"Gurugram is our economic centre, and if we want the state's development, the city’s infrastructure must be flawless," said Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini while presiding over a review meeting on various development projects in the city.

Saini was in Gurugram today for the CRPF’s 55th Passing Out Parade and later addressed officials on the sidelines, directing them to accelerate the implementation of major state government projects and ensure their timely completion.

After reviewing a detailed report on sewerage, drainage, sanitation, water supply, construction and demolition (C&D) waste, and road systems, Saini emphasised that infrastructure development is crucial for unlocking new growth opportunities in the district. He urged all departments to work in coordination and adhere to stipulated timelines.

"Since the government is accountable to the public, officials must regularly monitor the progress of all ongoing development projects. Any delays caused by agencies concerned should result in penalties and even FIRs," Saini stated.

Addressing the shortage of sanitation workers, he announced that more workers would be deployed through HKRNL to improve cleanliness in the corporation area. Discussions were also held on enhancing the door-to-door garbage collection system.

The Chief Minister instructed the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) to expedite road renovations for smoother traffic flow. "There is still ample time before the monsoon season. All road repairs must be completed by the end of June," he said.

According to officials, GMDA manages 284.5 km of roads in the city, of which 135 km has already been renovated. With GRAP restrictions lifted, work on an additional 100 km commenced on February 15 and is on track for completion within the stipulated timeframe.

Saini also directed officials to fast-track the removal of C&D waste, improve the drainage system and advance the Metro expansion project, stressing transparency and efficiency in their execution.

Speaking at the meeting, Industry and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh emphasised that de-silting of drains along roads should be completed before any road renovation work begins.

“PM Modi created history by encouraging women in the armed forces. The Haryana Government has followed suit by increasing women representation in the state police. Women currently make up 10% of the state police force, and we aim to raise this to 15% in the near future,” the Chief Minister said.

Speaking at the 55th Passing Out Parade of directly appointed gazetted officers of the CRPF in Gurugram today, Saini urged the trainee officers to protect the law and Constitution, safeguard people's rights with sensitivity and remain committed to truth, honesty and dedication, regardless of circumstances.

A total of 39 trainee officers, including two women officers, graduated from the CRPF academy today.
