Long-pending Sector 85 road connection in Gurugram reopened

Residents of Gurugram’s Sector 85 got relief after a road connecting the area to the multi-utility corridor and Dwarka Expressway was reopened on Saturday, an official said.

The 24-metre-wide road was inaugurated by Industry and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh at Godrej Air Society, the official added.

For years, the absence of this connecting road had forced thousands of families to depend on narrow and congested internal routes for daily travel.

According to an official statement, the issue remained unresolved for years before it was taken up in a meeting of the District Public Grievance & Redressal Committee chaired by Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini.

A breakthrough was achieved when Godrej Properties purchased the private land parcel that had blocked the road’s continuity, removing the obstruction and enabling the link road to be opened for public use.

During his speech, the minister thanked Haryana government officials and Godrej Properties for their efforts in resolving the issue.

Gurugram Deputy Commissioner Ajay Kumar said, “This issue was brought forward through the grievance committee. Under the guidance of the chief minister and with the collective efforts of the team, a solution was found.”

He also thanked Godrej Properties, local farmers, and others who contributed to resolving the issue.

Geetika Trehan of Godrej Properties said, “This government and administration-led initiative addresses a long-standing access challenge in Sector 85.”

The new 24-metre road is expected to improve connectivity and benefit more than 7,000 residents by providing direct access to the sector as originally planned.

Wing Commander (Retd) RD Deshpande of Rise Always Welfare Society said, “The 24 metre road opening has brought a sense of relief to residents and passers-by.”

He added that it was encouraging to see authorities responding to community concerns and taking action.
