Manesar Society Choked by Garbage Fires & Sewage
25 Jun
Summary
- Residents face persistent garbage dumping and burning near homes.
- Untreated sewage is discharged, creating stagnant, foul-smelling pools.
- Civic authorities have taken little effective action despite numerous complaints.
Residents in Manesar's Sector 81 have endured several months of severe environmental distress, marked by continuous open dumping and burning of solid waste, including plastics. This waste is regularly set alight on a vacant plot near residential societies, often at night. The resulting smoke infiltrates homes, creating an "unlivable environment" and posing health risks, especially to vulnerable populations like children and senior citizens.
Compounding the issue, untreated sewage is being discharged onto open land, forming stagnant pools that emit foul odors. Complaints lodged with the Municipal Corporation of Manesar (MCM) and other authorities have reportedly yielded minimal action. The area, previously cleared of illegal hutments, now faces these persistent sanitation violations, prompting residents to demand immediate waste removal, cessation of burning, and an investigation into the sewage discharge. MCM has stated that a team will inspect the site and appropriate action, including penalties, will be taken against defaulters.
