    The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) held its general house meeting on Monday, where several major infrastructure and civic development proposals were approved. The session, held at the Haryana Institute of Public Administration in Sector 18, also included the induction of new members and the election of representatives to the finance and contract committee.

    A major highlight of the meeting was the presentation of the 2023-24 audit report, followed by the unanimous approval of multiple development-focused proposals. These include the expansion of rainwater harvesting systems, the installation of name boards for councillors, a rate contract for streetlight installations, and the transfer of land to the health department for setting up a new urban primary health centre. The House also passed plans to organise special camps for water connection meters and to establish compressed biogas plants in each of the four municipal zones.

    Three newly nominated members, Sachin Devtwal, Vikrant Yadav, and Krishan Swami, were sworn in at the start of the session. Additionally, two councillors were elected to the finance and contract committee, which will oversee financial and contractual decisions of the MCG.

    Mayor Raj Rani Malhotra highlighted the corporation’s ongoing commitment to the city’s development. She stressed the importance of public participation in civic initiatives and reiterated MCG’s focus on rainwater harvesting, sewage management, clean drinking water, and environmental conservation. “The benefits of these efforts will multiply when citizens actively take part,” she added. 

    Commissioner Pradeep Dahiya informed the House about the creation of a Sewerage Monitoring Cell, which has identified 40 critical drainage points across the city. Plans are underway to address these issues by April 2026 using modern monitoring technologies to improve responsiveness to citizen complaints.

    The meeting saw the active involvement of elected councillors and senior officials from departments including engineering, accounts, and town planning. The discussions reflected a collective resolve to transform Gurugram into a cleaner, more sustainable, and citizen-friendly city.
