Gurugram, March 21 : Additional Commissioner of Municipal Corporation Gurugram Dr. Balpreet Singh reached Park View Spa Society located in Sector-47. He inspected the waste management work being done by the society here and gave many important suggestions to the RWA representatives.
On reaching the society, the RWA representatives welcomed the Additional Commissioner and gave information about the waste management work in the society. The Additional Commissioner was told that the society residents are making compost from wet waste and the dry waste is being disposed through an agency.
Dr. Singh, along with observing the waste management, also saw the related documents and gave suggestions for taking corrective action. He emphasized that hazardous waste should be disposed separately and its disposal should be done through an authorized agency in the right manner under the rules. He clarified that the responsibility of waste disposal lies with the society as a bulk waste generator and the RWA should know where the garbage agency is disposing of that waste. He asked the RWA representatives to also ensure that the garbage taken from their place is not dumped on the roadside.
It is noteworthy that under the Solid Waste Management Rules-2016, it is mandatory for all bulk waste generators located within the limits of Municipal Corporation Gurugram to dispose of their waste themselves. Municipal Corporation Gurugram has taken the initiative towards the registration of bulk waste generators by creating an online portal and till now more than 2500 BWGs have been registered on the portal. Many organizations associated with solid waste management work including the Haryana Government and the Central Government are appreciating this initiative of Municipal Corporation Gurugram.
The BWG monitoring cell formed by Municipal Corporation Gurugram is continuously inspecting the bulk waste generators and giving them necessary guidelines. Now Municipal Corporation Gurugram is especially taking action against such BWGs, who are not ensuring compliance with the garbage management rules.
