Overview
- Police launched a special enforcement campaign after a directive from the Haryana chief minister and say it targeted vehicles bringing mixed waste into Gurugram for unlawful disposal.
- Authorities arrested ten people, registered four cases across Bajghera, Udyog Vihar and Rajendra Park police stations, and seized seven vehicles including canters and tractor-trolleys.
- Preliminary interrogation indicates the operation moved mixed municipal garbage from Delhi to Gurugram, where workers allegedly segregated plastic before sending it on to other locations.
- Investigators are tracing vehicle ownership, routes, recipients of the segregated plastic and the financing of the chain, and officials warned owners will face legal action if found complicit.
- The crackdown highlights long‑standing waste‑management gaps at the Delhi–Gurugram border and could lead to stronger policing of transport routes and changes in how local recycling and dumping are monitored.
