Gurugram to streamline solid waste management project

25 Jul 2023 CW Team

The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) will install CCTV cameras at all 35 secondary waste points across the city and monitor the spots to ensure the timely collection of waste. Officials said they were receiving complaints from residents regarding poor management at the waste sites and irregular door-to-door garbage collection.

Officials said the civic body convened a meeting to discuss issues related to legacy waste disposal, fresh waste disposal, compost disposal, and leachate treatment.

MCG commissioner PC Meena, who presided over the meeting, said they have asked officials involved in the integrated solid waste management project to expedite the work and ensure that all agencies meet their set targets within a stipulated timeframe. “If any agency is found negligent, then action will be implemented against it as per the rules,” he said.

Meena directed officials to ensure that door-to-door garbage collection and management of secondary waste points are done in a more efficient way.
