Union Minister of State Rao Inderjit Singh has urged the Haryana government to increase budgetary allocations for infrastructure development and environmental protection in Gurgaon and Rewari. In a representation to the chief minister, he highlighted growing pressure on roads, public transport, waste management and water systems due to rapid urbanisation. Singh pointed to daily garbage generation of about 1,200 tonnes in Gurgaon and 700-800 tonnes in Rewari, concerns around pollution in the Aravalli region, and the need for better transport connectivity, drainage and road safety measures.
Union Minister of State Rao Inderjit Singh has called on the Haryana government to provide higher budgetary support for infrastructure and environmental protection in Gurgaon and Rewari, citing mounting urban and ecological challenges in both districts. In a communication addressed to Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Singh stressed that the scale of development and population growth in these regions requires focused and sustained financial allocation in the upcoming state budget.

Singh drew attention to Gurgaon's chronic traffic congestion, noting that the city's dependence on private vehicles has increased due to limited public transport options. He emphasised the need to expand metro and rail-based connectivity to ease road pressure and improve daily commuting. Improved public transport, he indicated, would also help reduce pollution levels in one of the state's most densely developed urban centres.
Waste management was flagged as another critical concern. Singh stated that Gurgaon generates nearly 1,200 tonnes of solid waste every day, while Rewari produces around 700-800 tonnes. A portion of this waste, he noted, is being dumped close to the Aravalli hills, raising environmental risks. He underlined the need for better waste processing facilities and stricter monitoring to prevent long-term damage to the ecologically sensitive zone.
The minister also raised concerns over sewage and drainage infrastructure, particularly the inflow of polluted water from neighbouring Rajasthan into parts of Rewari and nearby industrial areas such as Dharuhera. He said inadequate treatment capacity has affected local water bodies and surrounding land, and called for additional funds for sewage treatment plants and improved drainage systems.
Highlighting the importance of the Aravalli range for south Haryana's environmental balance, Singh referred to past court observations and public concerns related to mining, deforestation and unregulated construction in the region. He urged the state to allocate funds specifically for conservation and restoration efforts in the hill range.
On road infrastructure, Singh pointed to frequent accidents on key highways connecting Gurgaon, Rewari and Narnaul. He sought financial support for flyovers, bypasses, slip roads and underpasses, especially at accident-prone stretches and busy railway crossings, to improve safety and traffic flow.
