The ongoing dispute between the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) and the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has left 14 colonies in Gurugram, Haryana, littered with construction and demolition (C&D) waste. Following a demolition drive from April 18 to 22, the DTCP requested the MCG to remove the debris, asserting that the maintenance of these areas falls under MCG's jurisdiction. However, MCG officials have pushed back, stating that according to the C&D Waste Rules, 2025, the responsibility lies with the waste generator to deposit debris at designated sites. Residents have expressed frustration, noting that the waste not only detracts from their neighborhoods but also raises dust levels, posing health risks. Some residents have taken matters into their own hands, organizing clean-up efforts, while others have incurred costs for waste removal. The situation underscores the need for better coordination between civic authorities to address environmental compliance and community concerns.
