The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has formed a dedicated Sanitation Security Force (SSF) to monitor the growing waste management and cleanliness challenges in the district. The SSF has already seized six vehicles while monitoring various places in a single night.
Additional Commissioner of MCG Dr. Balpreet Singh said that monitoring and action against those who throw garbage and debris in the city has been further increased. "The force has caught six vehicles from Laser Valley Sector-29, Fountain Chowk, Khandsa Road Sector-37, Devi Lal Colony, Jawahar Nagar and Kataria Chowk while monitoring various areas on Thursday-Friday night," he said.
He added that some of the vehicles caught were also without numbers, for which the process of legal action is being adopted. Apart from this, some vehicles have also been using the name of MCG and dumping illegal garbage. "All the vehicles have been seized and FIRs have been registered against their owners or drivers in the concerned police stations," he added.
"We appealed to the citizens of Gurugram to inform MCG about those who dump garbage or debris illegally, so that action can be taken by the SSF on time. Also, keep an eye on such vehicles which are working using the name of the MCG. Cooperation of all citizens is expected in making the city clean," he asserted.
Meanwhile, the civic body is installing CCTV cameras at all the secondary garbage collection points located in the MCG limits. CCTVs have been installed at eight locations, while work on the remaining six will also be completed this month. Soon all the 14 secondary garbage collection points of the corporation will be monitored by the cameras.
CCTV cameras have been installed in front of Atul Kataria Chowk, Sheetla Mata Mandir, Roshanpura Sabzi Mandi, Beriwala Bagh, Chakarpur, Bandhwadi Khandsa and Court Parking. Apart from this, the work of installing CCTVs at the secondary garbage collection points located in areas like Badshahpur, Fazilpur, Sikandarpur, Chauma, Carterpuri and Dhanwapur will be completed by the end of December.
