On August 22nd, 2025, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) launched a crackdown on waste management violations in the city. As part of this special drive, the civic body penalized 93 offenders and imposed fines amounting to ₹2.30 lakh for littering and dumping of waste, including construction debris and septage, in public spaces.
Alongside the individual penalties, the MCG also issued notices to 12 bulk waste generators (BWGs) for violating the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016. These rules require BWGs, such as housing societies and commercial complexes, to segregate their waste and manage it on-site through composting.
To enforce continuous monitoring, the MCG has deployed 68 assistant sanitation inspectors, along with teams from the Sanitation Security Force and BWG Monitoring Cell. These teams are conducting regular inspections across wards, markets, public spaces, and construction sites to ensure compliance.
The MCG's commissioner, Pradeep Dahiya, stated that the civic body is committed to ensuring strict adherence to waste management regulations. He emphasized that no negligence in managing waste will be tolerated, and the intensified surveillance is already yielding visible results in improving the city's cleanliness.
