Gurugram, June 11 -- A report released by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) earlier this week revealed that construction and demolition (C&D) waste in Gurugram is not being processed completely. The report, accessed by HT, states that Gurugram generates at least 1,500 tonnes of C&D waste daily. However, the city has only one processing facility at Basai, with a capacity of around 1,200 tonnes per day, leaving a gap of at least 300 tonnes per day. The report further states that nearly 36,000 tonnes of debris is currently accumulated in Gurugram, including unprocessed and illegally dumped waste. Ravinder Yadav, additional commissioner of MCG, told HT that the corporation is planning to set up a second C&D waste processing facility with a capacity of at least 400 tonnes per day (TPD). "Efforts are underway to set up a second processing plant to cover the gap of C&D waste scattered across the city. We will submit the proposals soon," he said. MCG officials said that the deadline for the second plant has been fixed for early 2027. Earlier in May, HT had reported that the MCG will establish 16 C&D waste collection centres across all four zones of the city to improve compliance with waste disposal norms. The plan proposed two centres in zone 1, two in zone 2, five centres in zone 3 and the remaining seven sites in zone 4. Residents across Gurugram have also raised concerns over C&D waste being scattered across multiple parts of the city. Illegal dumping of debris has been reported in several key areas, such as Golf Course Road, the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), and on internal lanes across various sectors....
