Gurugram Lane Becomes Illegal Waste Route
12 Oct
Summary
- Construction waste allegedly dumped in Aravallis via residential lane.
- Illegal labour camps operate within protected Aravalli zone.
- Residents cite safety concerns due to constant vehicle movement.
Residents in Gurugram's DLF Phase-III have raised serious concerns regarding the alleged illegal disposal of construction waste in the Aravalli hills. They report that a residential lane in V-Block is being used by dumpers and tractor-trolleys, often without license plates, to transport waste. This activity is reportedly frequent during morning and evening hours.
Furthermore, the same lane is allegedly used to ferry workers to and from makeshift labor camps situated within the protected Aravalli zone. An inspection revealed semi-permanent structures, families residing in the area, and parked vehicles, indicating established infrastructure within this sensitive environmental region.
The constant movement of these vehicles causes congestion and raises safety concerns for residents, particularly during peak commuting times and evenings. Local authorities have confirmed that FIRs have been filed against some individuals apprehended for such activities. This situation highlights ongoing issues with illegal encroachments and waste disposal in the Aravallis.
