Gurugram: Ground report from Millennium City 'drowning' in civic issues

In this India Today special, Suyesha Savant presents a reality check on Gurugram. Riding through the city with Major General Yash Mor (Retd), the report exposes the grim state of civic infrastructure. Once projected as a swanky metropolis, it now faces a different reality. As Major General Mor states, "But sadly, last few years, the city has turned into a nightmare." The investigation highlights severe waterlogging that turns roads into rivers during monsoons, deep potholes, unmanaged garbage, and choked drainage systems. The report questions the effectiveness of the administration, pointing to a multi-crore sanitation budget that shows no results on the ground, and residents who allege that corruption is the root cause of the city's problems. It explores the vast gap between the promises of a modern city and the daily struggles of its citizens.
