Haryana Acts on Gurugram’s Civic Crisis Following Corporate Rebuke

Haryana authorities have launched a 402 crore emergency waste tender after high-profile criticisms exposed the city’s sanitation and flood failures.

Overview

  • Business figures Suhel Seth, Amitabh Kant and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw publicly condemned Gurugram’s crumbling infrastructure and governance lapses.
  • Seth urged Delhi’s lieutenant governor to stage a non-hostile takeover, noting there are more liquor outlets than working traffic lights and more bars than schools.
  • Haryana officials contacted Seth to confirm that Chief Minister Nayab Saini has taken up the issue and has begun mobilizing resources.
  • The Municipal Corporation has started implementing the 402 crore contract to revive informal waste collection and clear accumulated garbage.
  • Residents continue to face flooding, sewage backups and erratic services as comprehensive municipal reforms remain under development.
