An NGO engaged in water management sector has claimed that the water-related issues, the essential requirement for sustained development of a mega urban complex, had been ignored in the Draft Gurgaon Manesar Urban Complex Master Plan 2021. Filing the objection with the Director, Town and Country Planning, Punchkula, a water expert and retired Chief Engineer, Irrigation Department, Government of Haryana, Mr M S Yadav, who is also General Secretary of the NGO, Water and Energy Management and Welfare Organisation, said the underground water, which was marginally available, had already been over exploited in the region, forcing the Central Ground Water Authority to declare the entire area as dark zone. As a result, no one was now allowed to dig tube-well, he added.
