Five months on, road dug up for work on sewer network still not repaired in Sector 9A
Gurgaon: Delays in road restoration work has turned a 1km stretch in Sector 9A a mud-ridden and accident-prone nightmare for residents and commuters alike. The stretch of road between the main pumping station and ESIC Hospital was originally dug up in Feb when the MCG began laying sewer lines along this road. However, instead of laying the new sewer line in the service utility area, the agency installed it in the middle of the road, residents claimed. More than five months later, the road remains in a state of disrepair. While earth filling was done after the pipeline work, no effort was made to properly resurface the road. As a result, residents have been forced to travel on the unpaved stretch, which has worsened with the onset of the monsoon.

It's just a stretch of loose soil now. With rains, the surface has become dangerously slippery. Children and the elderly are especially at risk," said Lalit Suraj Bhola, general secretary of Sector 9A RWA. A few days ago, a rickshaw carrying children lost balance and toppled on the uneven stretch. "Thankfully, there were no major injuries, but do we have to wait for a tragedy before authorities act?" Bhola added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal? How to get Internet without paying a subscription? Techno Mag Learn More Undo The RWA has raised the issue with the MCG repeatedly, but they have only received verbal reassurances so far, and no definite timeline for when the road will be repaired has been provided. With the monsoon already here, the surface deteriorates further the more it rains. Motorists, especially those commuting on two-wheelers, and pedestrians alike are finding the stretch increasingly unsafe to navigate. The situation has become especially concerning as this stretch is not only used by residents but also by daily visitors to the ESIC Hospital. "What's the point of laying new sewer lines if you can't restore basic road connectivity for months afterward? Because of the apathy of MCG and its contractor, we are suffering," said Ram Avatar Singla, a resident. Meanwhile, an MCG official that TOI spoke to acknowledged the issue and said that the road will be recarpeted soon. "We have already started the process for the construction of the internal road in Sector 9A. The work will start soon," the official said.

ESIC Hospital in Sodala evacuated after bomb threat email
Edited 359 Jaipur: ESIC Hospital, located near Orbit Mall on Ajmer Road, was evacuated Wednesday after an email, claiming to be from terrorist Ajmal Kasab, threatened a bomb attack on its premises. The hospital administration alerted police, who responded along with the fire brigade, bomb squad, civil defence, and other emergency teams. A full-scale search was launched, but no explosives or suspicious items were found. The cyber cell began investigating the origin and contents of the email, which claimed that an IPS officer from Tamil Nadu issued fake passports to former LTTE members with the help of his wife's travel agency. The message said these individuals were recruited by Pakistan and were carrying mobile phones and chemical-triggered fuses. The email also alleged they were travelling in a vehicle and intended to cause mass casualties at the hospital. The sender warned that if they suspected the plan was compromised, they would either trigger the fuse or release nerve gas through an IED. The message urged the Anti-Terrorism Squad to take immediate action and to contact the officer mentioned. The email stressed that the threat was not a hoax and that the fake passports could be traced to locations linked to the Assistant Commissioner of Intelligence in Madurai. It called for swift yet careful verification and response. When the email was received, the hospital was bustling with patients and staff. The premises were evacuated, and security measures were put in place. Wednesday's incident is the latest in a series of bomb threats targeting Jaipur. The city received at least 65 hoax threat emails in 2025, most of which targeted schools, with additional threats aimed at stadiums, court complexes, metro stations, hotels, medical colleges, and the airport. On May 8, 12, and 13, threatening emails warned of bombings at Sawai Man Singh Stadium. The May 13 threat also included a demand for justice for a rape survivor. A 30-year-old woman, identified as Rene Joshilda, was arrested last week by Ahmedabad police for sending these emails. On May 9, Jaipur Metro was also targeted with a similar threat via email, referring to "Operation Sindoor." That search, too, ended without any explosive device being found.
