Overview
- Fifteen to twenty garbage-laden trolleys were left in a Sector 78 parking area after sanitation crews said no authorized dumping ground was available.
- Mayor Amarjeet Singh Jeeti Sidhu accused the AAP-led government and MLA Kulwant Singh of deliberately stalling cleaning operations to discredit the municipal corporation.
- Workers and the contractor reported intimidation by armed men at the site identified for green-waste dumping, and the mayor sought SSP-provided security.
- With designated access blocked, the contractor has been scouting daily for ad hoc spots, including a location under a Phase 8B bridge where locals intervened to stop dumping.
- Residents in Phase 5 opposed reopening a sealed RMC segregation point, while a waste-management plant proposed since 2012 remains stuck in administrative delays.
