Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) across several sectors in Gurgaon are calling on the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) to expedite the handover of sanitation duties, including street sweeping and waste management. Citing their effective maintenance of community parks, RWAs argue they are well-equipped to take over local cleanliness and improve standards.
“We’ve demonstrated our ability in maintaining green spaces. Why not sanitation too?” said a sector 46 RWA member.
🧼 What RWAs Want Control Over
The RWAs are specifically seeking authority over:
Road sweeping and litter management
Garbage collection schedules
Vendor supervision
Drain cleaning in internal colonies
They believe that localized oversight will reduce delays and increase accountability.
⚖️ Civic Body's Stand
MCG officials have acknowledged the requests but say that a formal framework must be developed first. A phased rollout is being considered to ensure compliance with waste management protocols and union guidelines.
🚮 Why It Matters
Residents have long complained of irregular garbage collection, unclean streets, and inefficient complaint redressal. Empowering RWAs could:
Speed up response times
Improve hygiene levels
Reduce civic burden on MCG
