Gurugram Issues New Waste Tenders Amid NGT Directive on Bandhwari Landfill
The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has issued three tenders worth around ₹6 crore for collecting and transporting fresh municipal solid waste from three city zones to the Bandhwari landfill. This move follows a National Green Tribunal (NGT) directive to submit a plan to stop fresh dumping and find an alternative site. Officials state this is an interim measure until a new site is identified, while legal experts warn it may violate the NGT order aimed at clearing legacy waste and halting fresh dumping.
