Manesar grapples with garbage, sewage, and stray cattle woes.
11 Mar
Summary
- Illegal dumping sites are expanding and posing health hazards.
- Sewage treatment plants lack connection to main pipelines.
- Inadequate road infrastructure and presence of stray cattle cause risks.

Manesar residents report ongoing issues with illegal garbage dumping and waste burning, with dumping sites expanding and becoming health hazards. Despite assurances, the Municipal Corporation of Manesar has yet to fully resolve these problems, which residents say have persisted for over a year. Waste burning, often occurring at night, exacerbates air quality concerns.
Further complicating matters, many residential societies have sewage treatment plants not connected to the main sewage pipeline. This leads to treated water being discharged onto roads or open land, creating foul odors and breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Municipal authorities state that the responsibility for proper treatment lies with the societies themselves.
Residents also highlight deficiencies in road infrastructure, noting the lack of footpaths, green belts, and service roads on main thoroughfares. This, combined with a significant population of stray cattle and dogs, increases the risk of accidents and traffic congestion. Authorities are addressing stray animal issues with sterilization and vaccination programs planned for April.
