Residents of Sector 64/65 in Gurugram, Haryana, India, have expressed frustration over the illegal dumping of construction and demolition (C&D) waste along Maidawas Road, an issue that has persisted for more than 11 years. Despite numerous complaints to the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG), the situation remains unresolved, leading to significant dust pollution and difficulties for commuters. Local shopkeepers and residents report that tractor-trolleys frequently dump waste in public areas, exacerbating the already poor conditions caused by ongoing construction projects. Ruchika Sethi, founder of the citizen-led group Citizens of Clean Air Bharat, noted that despite raising concerns, no effective action has been taken, dubbing the situation an “11-year legacy of complaints.” Health professionals, like Dr. Ganesh Jevalikar, warn that prolonged exposure to dust from the waste could lead to respiratory diseases, particularly affecting children. The MCG has acknowledged the issue and plans to conduct an inspection, with additional C&D waste collection centres planned for nearby sectors, although these will not directly address the current dumping site. Additional Commissioner Ravindra Yadav stated that these centres will help manage waste across the zone.
