The sixth house meeting of the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG), chaired by Mayor Raj Rani Malhotra, focused on various civic infrastructure projects rather than addressing the ongoing sanitation crisis caused by a strike of 3,480 sanitation workers. The workers have extended their strike until May 14, leading to significant disruptions in garbage collection and road-sweeping services across the city. During the meeting, discussions included the approval of proposals related to drinking water supply, road construction, and sewerage works. Notably, the absence of discussions on the sanitation crisis was attributed to it not being on the meeting agenda, with Malhotra stating it is a state-level issue. MCG Commissioner Pradeep Dahiya indicated that complaints would be sent to the additional chief secretaries of departments whose officials did not attend the meeting. The decisions made aim to strengthen civic administration at the grassroots level.
