The Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) has initiated a new approach to enhance waste management by requesting residents to oversee waste collection in seven specific wards. This measure is intended to address ongoing issues and ensure that waste collection services are performed effectively.

The selected wards are experiencing challenges with waste management, prompting the MCG to seek community involvement. Residents are being asked to monitor the waste collection process, report any irregularities, and provide feedback to help improve service delivery.

MCG officials believe that local oversight will lead to more efficient waste collection and better adherence to schedules. By involving residents, the MCG aims to create a more responsive and accountable system that addresses issues in real-time.

To support this initiative, the MCG has set up a helpline and an online platform for residents to report problems and share their observations. Training sessions are also being organised to guide residents on how to effectively participate in this oversight role.

Local residents have generally welcomed the initiative, seeing it as a positive step towards a cleaner and more organised waste management system. The MCG's strategy reflects a growing trend of involving communities in municipal management to achieve better results and address challenges more efficiently.

This collaborative approach is expected to enhance the overall cleanliness of the city and improve waste management practices in the targeted wards.
