Gurgaon: piles of horticulture waste lying without supervision on the roadside, park, and empty plots for days raising hackles from residents of Sushant Lok-1.
Residents claim that their recurring complaints from poor waste management have failed to attract the attention of citizenship bodies.
While MCG sanitation workers occasionally came for cleaning the area, residents claimed, citizenship staff barely did an effort to lift horticultural waste and instead passed the responsibility to other departments.
Vanita Pasricha, a resident of Sushant Lok-1’s Block, said, “We constantly reach MCG to get horticultural waste lifted over the past few months but our request so far falls on deaf ears.
These people pass through money in other departments.” Residents say that many horticultural waste lying without supervision in blocks is not just a scene but also a breeding place for mosquitoes.
In addition, they are afraid that the waste accumulates every day can cause a fire someday.
“Most households in our colonies have a garden that produces large horticultural waste.
Moreover there are several parks and trees in Sushant Lok-1, but there is no mechanism to deal with horticultural waste.
Civic’s body needs to set the system to overcome this problem immediately,” said Sudha Tiwari.
When contacted, a senior MCG official said they had 4-5 special places where horticultural waste was being processed.
“We have not received complaints from Sushant Lok-1.
I will ask the official to do what is needed.”
