The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has directed the removal of construction and demolition (C&D) waste dumped along Rajesh Pilot Road and Golf Course Road Extension. The order was issued by MCG Additional Commissioner Mahavir Prasad during a samadhan camp held, following complaints from residents of Sector 55.

Residents highlighted the unauthorised dumping of debris on vacant plots, which they said was causing pollution and creating unsanitary conditions in the area. Prasad acknowledged that the issue posed environmental and health risks, as well as being an eyesore, and assured immediate action.

Six complainants at the camp urged enhanced CCTV monitoring, consistent waste collection, and stricter penalties for illegal dumping. Prasad assured residents that dedicated teams would be deployed to clean the area and implement strict waste management measures.

MCG has also announced plans to establish three C&D waste processing units, each capable of handling at least 300 tonnes daily. This initiative follows a survey in 2023 that identified 10 lakh metric tonnes of construction waste across the city. A new survey will be conducted to assess the current extent of illegal dumping.
