Gurugram MC to install CCTV cameras at vulnerable garbage dumping sites
The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) will soon install CCTV cameras at all vulnerable places where unauthorised garbage dumping has been observed by the civic body officials.
This was revealed by Additional Commissioner of MCG Dr Balpreet Singh while presiding over a meeting of the sanitation wing of the civic body, recently.
He stated the sanitation teams have been asked to flex up their muscles in the ensuing festival season and clean all the vulnerable garbage points so that CCTV cameras could be installed for e-monitoring to make the city clean.

The MCG has planned to install CCTV cameras at all garbage vulnerable places from November 1 onwards, which will help to curb unauthorised dumping of garbage, MCG Additional Commissioner maintained.
Meanwhile, MC commissioner Dr Narhari Singh Banger has appealed local residents to co-operate with the civic body in making Gurugram a clean city. “The co-operation of local residents in essential to improve sanitary conditions,” he said.
While putting a tab on unauthorised garbage dumping points, the MCG has also chalked out a plan simultaneously to keep a hawk’s eye on the main roads, vacant plots, service lanes and green belt zones to prevent formation of new unauthorised garbage dumping points.
The MCG officials have also asked the sanitation teams and private agencies engaged for sanitation works to strictly implement laws. The bulk waste generators have been issued warnings to register themselves on online portal immediately otherwise legal action will be initiated against them, besides, imposition of fines.
It may be mentioned that in view of the alarming levels of untreated solid waste, the Haryana government in June this year declared a municipal solid waste exigency in Gurugram under the Disaster Management Act, 2005. The government also formed a six-member committee and appointed HCS officers as executive magistrates in all the 35 wards to oversee implementation of the Solid Waste Environment Exigency Programme in the city, however, cleanliness doesn’t seem to be visible on the ground level. This problem is likely to increase in the ensuing festival season due to which CCTV cameras are being installed at all vulnerable places.
The MCG had recently removed all political posters, banners and hoardings keeping in view the model code of conduct of the Assembly elections. Now, all unauthorised and illegal banners, posters and hoardings will also be removed from public places and legal action will be initiated under the defacement of public property Act against the violators.
