The Urban Local Bodies (ULB) department has granted administrative approval for a ₹440 crore mechanised and manual road sweeping project in Gurugram, Haryana, India, as sanitation workers continue their strike for the tenth day. The project will divide the city into two operational clusters, with ₹200 crore allocated for Cluster 1 and ₹240 crore for Cluster 2. This initiative aims to address the ongoing sanitation crisis exacerbated by the strike, which has led to significant disruptions in garbage collection and road sweeping operations. Residents have expressed frustration over the lack of sanitation services, with many reporting that garbage is not being collected from their households. The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) plans to implement a new sanitation system that assigns one worker to every 5,000 square metre block, enhancing accountability through geographical information system (GIS) mapping. The situation remains critical as the MCG prepares for a potential inspection by the Swachh Survekshan team, and the sanitation workers have threatened to escalate their strike if their demands are not met by May 11.
