Pump sets have been installed here to drain out this water, but it takes a lot of time to drain out the water. Due to the water not being drained out on time, water starts getting inside the vehicles and people face a lot of problems. Currently, the maintenance of these four underpasses is with the National Highway Authority of India. The National Highway Authority of India sent proposals several times to give these four under the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority, but every time the authority said that until their shortcomings are not removed, the authority will not take them under itself.
