Love the focus on greenery! Gurugram needs more trees desperately. The pollution levels are insane these days. 🌳 Hope they choose native species that can survive our weather.

I appreciate the initiative but I hope they have a proper rehabilitation plan for street vendors who will be displaced. Many depend on this for their livelihood.

The roads near Galleria market are in terrible condition. Hope they fix the potholes while they're at it! Cleanliness is important but basic infrastructure needs attention too.

Great initiative! But will believe it when I see it. MCG has made similar promises before that never materialized. Fingers crossed this time it's different.
