Gurugram Chokes: Dust, Debris Plague City
18 Jan
Summary
- Residents demand dedicated task force for pollution hotspots.
- C&D waste generation exceeds processing capacity daily.
- Officials promise road upgrades and stricter contractor accountability.
Gurugram's persistent air pollution problem has moved beyond awareness to a critical need for daily execution and accountability. Residents and city officials convened to address the ongoing issues of dust, construction debris, and inconsistent enforcement that plague the district.
Participants highlighted a cycle of enforcement drives followed by inaction, with significant dust accumulation on major roads and construction waste at junctions. Residents called for a dedicated task force to pinpoint pollution hotspots, conduct regular inspections, and hold contractors responsible for repeated violations.
Discussions also focused on the challenge of construction and demolition (C&D) waste, with daily generation exceeding the processing plant's capacity. Officials assured that road upgrades are underway and that contractors will be held accountable for repairs and debris management, while plantation drives will be strengthened to combat the ongoing pollution crisis.
