Who can change a junction, a signal or a parking rule in Gurugram?
The question that decides the answer: Do you want the rule enforced today, or do you want the junction itself changed?
One statement on this page could not be sourced and is marked as not verified, with the reason printed beside it.
Who actually fixes it
The agency whose staff do the work and whose system gives you a reference number. This is not the same as the office that is accountable for it.
If you want the existing rule enforced — parking, signals, obstruction
Commissioner of Police, Gurugram
Section 21(6) of the GMDA Act, 2017 provides that the Commissioner of Police, Gurugram, the Commissioner of Municipal Corporation, Gurugram, "or such other officer, as may be empowered under the law for the purpose, shall be responsible for enforcement of the measures in regard to clauses (d) and (e) of sub-section (2)" — that is, the measures regulating parking, traffic, traffic signals and the transit of vehicles, and regulating access to premises from a public street carrying high-speed traffic.
This site already routes accident and safety-to-life reports in Gurugram to 112, the national emergency number, and to Gurugram Police.
What that means here: A call to 112 is a dispatch, not a complaint record. It is the right first action when someone is in danger and the wrong one if what you want is a reference number to escalate later.
If you want the junction, footpath, subway, bus shelter or parking layout itself changed
Gurugram Metropolitan Development AuthorityGMDA
Section 21(1) of the GMDA Act, 2017 requires the GMDA Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with the Commissioner of Police Gurugram, the Commissioner of MCG and the Deputy Commissioner Gurugram, to prepare a mobility management plan. Section 21(2) requires that plan to include measures for "improvement of road junctions, construction of roads, bridges, pedestrian footpaths, subways", measures aimed at "enhancing safety of life and prevention of accidents on public roads", and measures on public transport, bus shelters and parking.
GMDA publishes a single grievance route for the city, titling it "Complaint Handling System, Gurugram" and offering Register Complaints, Check Complaint Status and Raise Call Back Request. Its own pages carry both GMDA and Municipal Corporation of Gurugram channels alongside each other.
What that means here: One complaint system covers both authorities, which is why a resident does not have to settle the GMDA-or-MCG question before filing. It still has to be settled before chasing, because the escalation chain differs.
Gurugram grievance toll-free line1800-180-1817gives you a reference
GMDA publishes 18001801817 as the toll-free number for its Grievance Redressal Portal, alongside a PRI number 01242653908 and a missed-call number 9873353224.
What that means here: This number is published by GMDA. It is widely quoted as "the MCG helpline", and the city’s complaint system covers both bodies, so it is a usable entry point for either — but it is GMDA that publishes it.
Who is politically accountable, and under which statute
The body or member on whom a statute puts the obligation. None of these can dispatch a crew; each is named here with the section that makes it answerable.
Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority
Statutory basis
Section 5 of the GMDA Act, 2017 constitutes the Authority with the Chief Minister of Haryana as Chairperson; the Ministers in charge of Town and Country Planning, Urban Local Bodies and Transport as ex-officio members; "Members of Parliament representing the parliamentary constituency falling within the notified area" and "Members of the State Legislature representing assembly constituencies falling within the notified area" as ex-officio members; and the Mayor and Senior Deputy Mayor of the Municipal Corporation, Gurugram, and the Chairman of Zila Parishad, Gurugram, as ex-officio members.
What that means here: GMDA is not an office with no politics attached. Your MP, your MLA and the Mayor sit on the Authority by virtue of holding those seats. That is the accountable tier for GMDA work, and it is a body they sit on rather than a department they run.
The mobility management plan goes to the Residents Advisory Council for recommendations (s.21(3)), then to the Authority — chaired by the Chief Minister, with the area’s MPs, MLAs and the Mayor sitting ex officio — which approves it with such amendments as it deems fit (s.21(4)), and it must then be published on GMDA’s website (s.21(5)). Section 11 constitutes the Residents Advisory Council.
What that means here: The plan is the lever. It is required to exist, required to be published, and required to be put to a council of residents first. Asking what the published plan says about your junction is a question with a statutory answer behind it.
This is the part that saves you a wasted month. Each limit is a limit in law, not an observation about how slow somebody is.
Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Gurugram
Section 21(7) of the GMDA Act, 2017: "The exercise of powers by the Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation, Gurugram under section 221 of the Haryana Municipal Corporation Act, 1994 shall be in accordance with the mobility management plan."
What that means here: Even MCG’s own street powers are subordinated to GMDA’s approved plan. The Commissioner cannot redesign a junction against the plan, whoever asks.
The Act creates one Corporation Fund (Chapter VI, ss.72–81), provides for its application by the Corporation (s.78) and for payments from it for works urgently required (s.79). Reading the Act end to end, no section allocates any sum to an individual councillor, and the only "discretionary" heading in it is s.44, "Discretionary functions of the Corporation" — a list of things the body may provide, not money a member may spend.
What that means here: A Gurugram ward councillor has no discretionary fund. There is no ward-level pot of money they can release, so asking a councillor to "sanction" a repair is asking for something the statute does not give them.
Mobility measures are made by a plan prepared by the GMDA Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Authority (s.21(1) and 21(4)); enforcement of the traffic and access measures is on the Commissioner of Police and the MCG Commissioner (s.21(6)). A ward councillor appears nowhere in s.21.
Under MPLADS an MP recommends and the district administration sanctions. PIB, 23 March 2023: MPs "send their recommendations of development works directly to their respective Nodal District Authorities and same are implemented by the District Authorities". The guidelines name that authority: "District Collector/District Magistrate/Deputy Commissioner will generally be the District Authority to implement MPLADS in the district" (para 2.10), and set the clock on it: "All recommended eligible works should be sanctioned within 75 days from the date of receipt of the recommendation", with rejection to be communicated "within 45 days" (para 3.12). PIB, 11 August 2025, records that the 2023 Guidelines have States "delegate full powers with regard to technical, financial and administrative sanctions to the Implementing District Authority (Para 4.3.2)".
What that means here: An MP cannot sanction a work, award it or pay for it. The Deputy Commissioner does. An MP who has recommended something has done the whole of what the scheme lets them do.
Haryana is reported to run a constituency development grant for MLAs, and reporting from 2025 puts it at ₹5 crore per constituency released in three tranches, with works executed on the MLA’s recommendation through Deputy Commissioners and Zila Parishads.
Why this is not verified: No Haryana government notification, scheme document or guideline for an MLA local-area development scheme under this description was located. Every figure and every procedural detail above comes from newspaper reporting, and nothing on these pages rests on it. Two separate Haryana schemes ARE sourced to government documents and are described on the representatives pages: Vidhayak Adarsh Nagar Avam Gram Yojana at ₹2 crore per constituency per year, and a ₹5 crore provision announced in the 2025-26 budget speech for the whole tenure of the assembly — not per year. What the reporting above describes may be one of those two misreported, or a third thing; until the scheme document is read we do not know which, so we assert nothing about it.
Ask GMDA for the published mobility management plan for your area, and file your junction as a complaint against it on the Complaint Handling System, Gurugram.
Section 21(5) requires the approved plan to be published on GMDA’s website. A complaint that names the plan is a complaint about a document the Authority has adopted, which is a different and stronger thing than a complaint about a junction.
GMDA publishes a single grievance route for the city, titling it "Complaint Handling System, Gurugram" and offering Register Complaints, Check Complaint Status and Raise Call Back Request. Its own pages carry both GMDA and Municipal Corporation of Gurugram channels alongside each other.
What that means here: One complaint system covers both authorities, which is why a resident does not have to settle the GMDA-or-MCG question before filing. It still has to be settled before chasing, because the escalation chain differs.
Each rung as the notification or statute names it, with its published window where one exists and a plain statement where none does.

Traffic is not a notified service under the Haryana Right to Service Act, 2014, so there is no statutory window, no Designated Officer and no appeal to the Right to Service Commission.
17 documents, each with the date it was read. Where a copy is a mirror, a scan or a superseded edition, that is said here rather than left for you to discover.
This copy is updated only to 11 October 2017 and is hosted on a state investment-promotion site rather than by the issuing department. District Gurugram’s own page states 531 services stood notified as of 20 July 2021, so entries may since have changed. The Right to Service Commission’s own site, haryana-rtsc.gov.in, could not be read on 2026-09-29: its TLS certificate chain failed to verify.

This is the June 2016 edition. A revised edition dated 1 April 2023 is in force. mplads.gov.in, which publishes it, refused connections from this machine on 2026-09-29 (164.100.213.140 answered on neither 443 nor 80), and no other copy of the April 2023 text was located, so the provisions cited from this edition may have been amended. Where the 2023 revision is known to differ, that is said explicitly.
The Tribune (news reporting, not a government document)
Reporting, cited only to record that a claim exists. No Haryana government notification or guideline for an MLA local-area development scheme was located, so nothing here is asserted on its strength.
