Gurugram Municipal Corporation Cuts C D Waste Fees, Forms Committees Amid Sanitation Strike End
The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) approved reducing fees for non-bulk construction and demolition (C D) waste from Rs 360 to Rs 50 per tonne to discourage illegal dumping. The fee for bulk waste remains Rs 360 per tonne. MCG also formed 14 ad hoc committees to oversee various civic issues, including sanitation and public health. The decisions were made during a General House meeting chaired by Mayor Raj Rani Malhotra, coinciding with the end of a 37-day sanitation workers' strike, which may improve garbage management in the city.
