Gurugram to Clear 10,000 Tonnes of C&D Waste Daily to Tackle Pollution

Gurugram Municipal Corporation (MCG) has set an ambitious target to clear 10,000 tonnes of construction and demolition (C&D) waste daily. This initiative is part of the Solid Waste Environment Exigency Programme (SWEEP), which was discussed in a recent review meeting led by divisional commissioner RC Bidhan.

The focus of the meeting was to accelerate the collection of C&D waste from various locations across Gurugram. RC Bidhan emphasized the importance of organizing the process, ensuring that vehicles collecting the waste are properly registered and that their service rates are fixed. “The process of collecting C&D waste from different areas should be accelerated to ensure a cleaner city,” Bidhan remarked during the session. Gurugram, like many urban centers, has faced challenges with illegal dumping of construction debris and garbage, leading to unclean and unsightly public spaces. In response to this, MCG officials have stressed that dumping waste in public areas is a punishable offence. Authorities are actively taking measures to deter violators, which include seizing vehicles, filing FIRs against offenders, and imposing hefty fines.

On Thursday, Balpreet Singh, the additional commissioner of MCG, led an inspection in areas prone to illegal dumping. During his visit, Singh identified and caught five vehicles in the act of dumping waste or debris. Two rickshaws and a tractor-trolley were found near Sikanderpur metro pillar number 48. Immediate action was taken, and FIRs were filed against the responsible drivers and owners. The vehicles involved were also marked for seizure. This proactive approach by the MCG is aimed at not only cleaning up the city but also creating awareness among residents and workers involved in construction projects. By enforcing strict penalties and improving waste management systems, Gurugram hopes to become a cleaner, greener city for its residents. As the MCG continues to ramp up its efforts, residents are encouraged to report illegal dumping activities and cooperate with waste management initiatives. The city’s focus on handling C&D waste efficiently will play a crucial role in improving the overall environment and quality of life for its citizens.
