Ayesha Arvind Gurgaon, September 8 When it was first conceived, Gurgaon was to be a perfectly planned city offering an enticing lifestyle. Massive real estate development soon followed in the form of upmarket condominiums and numerous high-end commercial complexes. Years later, however, many such complexes are still waiting for a regular electricity connection, depending in the meanwhile, on diesel generator sets for power. Residents say in most cases private builders do not disclose the fact that an electricity connection has not been procured or applied for.
