Gurgaon: In the absence of a dedicated agency for door-to-door waste collection and processing, the municipal corporation of Manesar (MCM) has appointed nodal officers to ensure cleanliness in 20 wards. Notices will be issued to the owners of the plot where waste is found dumped and the owners will be penalised.
MCM commissioner Ashok Garg said that if waste is found dumped anywhere, the concerned nodal officer will be held responsible and an action will be taken against the officer. He directed the nodal officers to visit their respective areas twice a week to take stock of sanitation on the ground. The officers will have to inform the commissioner about their inspections. If they find garbage dumped in their areas, they will serve a notice to the sanitary inspectors of the area concerned.
“After the notice is issued to the sanitary inspectors for waste dumped in an area, the sanitary inspectors will have to submit a reply and those who fail to do so will be chargesheeted as per the provisions of law. If the agency deployed for sanitation is found at fault, a Jpenalty will be imposed on them,” Garg said.
MCM’s previous contract with a private firm got over on July 13 after which no firm was hired for the doorstep waste collection.
The urban local bodies department recently gave approval of Rs 15.14 crore to float a tender for door-to-door waste collection, segregation and processing in Manesar.
“The tender process to hire an agency for door-to-door waste collection and processing will soon be completed and the system will be streamlined,” MCM commissioner said.
He has also directed officials to monitor the secondary waste collection points and ensure regular lifting of garbage.
