Gurugram: Union Minister of State Rao Inderjit Singh has urged the Haryana government to make special budgetary provisions for key development projects in Gurugram and Rewari districts in the upcoming state budget for 2026–27.
In a detailed letter addressed to Chief Minister Nayab Saini, the senior BJP leader highlighted pressing civic, environmental, transport and governance-related issues affecting his parliamentary constituency.
Singh stressed the urgent need to strengthen public transport infrastructure by connecting the Dwarka Expressway with the metro network. He noted that New Gurugram is rapidly developing along the expressway and requires a dedicated metro corridor to ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity in what is emerging as one of the country’s major economic hubs.
Raising concerns over sanitation, the Union Minister demanded a separate budget for improving cleanliness in Gurugram and Manesar municipal corporations. He pointed out that nearly 1,200 tonnes of waste generated daily by Gurugram-Manesar and an additional 700–800 tonnes from Faridabad are being dumped at Bandhwari landfill near the Aravalli hills, contaminating groundwater and posing serious health risks to nearby villages.
He urged the state to introduce a special scheme to eliminate garbage mountains across urban local bodies, including Rewari, Sohna, Pataudi, Dharuhera and Bawal.
Rao also sought budgetary support for the construction of ‘Sainik Sadan’ in Rewari, Gurugram and Narnaul to provide integrated welfare services to ex-servicemen, including medical facilities and canteen services.
