Gurugram councillor flags sweeping and waste collection gaps at MCG

Ward 28 councillor Dharambir Bhangrola told the MCG House that garbage at Beri Wala Bagh had gone uncollected for days, as councillors raised concerns about sweeping and waste collection in parts of Gurugram.

Bhangrola said Rajiv Colony, Om Nagar and Shanti Nagar did not have enough road-sweeping staff or reliable door-to-door collection vehicles. Resident Rajesh Kishan said waste had spilled onto roads near Beri Wala Bagh, and rain had left the piled-up garbage wet and foul-smelling.

Waste from the Khandsa and Carterpuri secondary collection points is being diverted to Beri Wala Bagh while development work continues at those sites. MCG said it had asked the agency that carries waste from Carterpuri to the Bandhwari landfill to also lift waste from Beri Wala Bagh.

The corporation said monsoon conditions had slowed truck movement to Bandhwari, cutting daily dumper trips from the usual 70–80 to 30–35 during rainfall. It reported 79 trips on Tuesday and 75 on Wednesday as rain eased.

Two agencies are expected to begin work under Gurugram’s new five-year garbage collection contract in November or December. They must deploy half of their mandated fleet in the first month and the full fleet in the second, MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya said.
