The Times of IndiaMCG chief removes zonal taxation officer amid allegations of irregularities | Gurgaon News - The Times of IndiaMCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya removed zonal taxation officer Dinesh Kumar from his post following complaints and alleged irregularities in property ID creation, specifically the cancellation of over 300 property ID applications within two days without proper justification. The commissioner also announced a target of Rs 500 crore in property tax revenue this year and ordered a surprise inspection, while warning that employees facilitating brokers could face disciplinary action. The civic body plans structural reforms including transfers of long-serving staff in the property tax wing to curb alleged corruption and commission-based practices.The Times of IndiaSwachh drive nets Rs 1 crore as MCG steps up sanitation enforcement | Gurgaon News - The Times of IndiaMCG has collected over Rs 1 crore in fines for sanitation rule violations across Gurgaon in 2025 and 2026, issuing a total of 4,933 challans during this period. The enforcement drive under the Swachh Gurgaon campaign imposed the majority of penalties in 2025, with 3,980 challans generating more than Rs 87 lakh, while 953 challans were issued in 2026 so far collecting over Rs 14 lakh. Fines were imposed for littering, improper disposal of construction and demolition waste, and open burning of garbage, with MCG stating enforcement will continue to improve public compliance with cleanliness norms.The Times of India1 in 5 MCG waste pickup vans out of action | Gurgaon News - The Times of IndiaThe Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) has a significant shortfall in its door-to-door waste collection fleet, with only 313 of 400 contracted vehicles operational as of Sunday, leaving 87 vehicles out of action. MCG engaged four agencies as a six-month stopgap measure from January 9 to July 8, 2026, after the previous contract expired, but all four zones are falling short of their promised vehicle counts. Residents and ward councillors report that the service gaps have forced communities to hire private vendors, raising concerns about supervision, penalties, and whether public funds are being released despite contractual deficiencies.The Times of IndiaSafai workers go on strike till May 7, garbage mounts, road sweeping hit | Gurgaon News - The Times of IndiaMCG (Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon) sanitation workers have gone on strike until May 7, raising the risk of mounting waste across the city as road sweeping and waste clearance remain disrupted. Workers staged a protest accusing the Haryana government of ignoring their 19-point charter of demands, including regularization of contractual employees and implementation of promised salary increases, despite multiple rounds of discussions. Union leaders warned the agitation may expand to include municipal and fire department employees across the state if demands are not addressed.The Times of IndiaRainwater harvesting systems defunct in Gurgaon’s Sector 40, residents flag flood threat | Gurgaon News - The Times of IndiaResidents of Gurgaon's Sector 40 have raised concerns about defunct rainwater harvesting systems and absence of stormwater drainage infrastructure ahead of monsoon season, with about 10 systems installed in parks and community centres remaining non-functional for years due to neglect and incomplete maintenance. Complaints to the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) yielded little response, though an MCG official has now stated that restoration work, including deepening borewells and repairs, has been allotted and is targeted for completion by end of May.The Times of IndiaSetback for waste pickup as MCG’s plan to hire private companies faces delay againThe Haryana forest department issued a damage report to the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) for laying an unauthorized pipeline through a notified Aravali plantation area in Baliyawas village. The pipeline, connected to an MCG-operated sewage treatment plant, was found terminating near a forest waterbody used for groundwater recharge and wildlife, prompting environmental concerns from local residents. The forest department has announced it will issue a formal notice to MCG seeking explanation, with possible escalation to the environment court if the response is unsatisfactory.The Times of IndiaMCG shuts IDFC account, moves s 108 crore to public sector bankThe Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) closed its account with IDFC First Bank and transferred Rs 108 crore to a public sector bank following the detection of an alleged Rs 590-crore fraud involving government deposits at the private bank, which was discovered during routine reconciliation at the bank's Chandigarh branch. In response, the Haryana government de-empanelled IDFC First Bank and AU Small Finance Bank from government business and mandated that all departmental accounts in private banks be transferred to nationalised lenders, with a high-level probe ordered and an FIR registered by the anti-corruption bureau. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini informed the state assembly that authorities have recovered nearly Rs 556 crore of the fraudulently diverted funds.The Times of India5k in 10 days: MCG launches drive to fix craters on Gurgaon roads as plaints spikeThe Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) announced a 10-day pothole-filling drive targeting 5,000 road craters in its first phase, following a review of complaints on Haryana's Mhari Sadak grievance portal that showed Gurgaon and Faridabad account for 37% of all complaints statewide. The portal data also revealed that over 66% of Gurgaon's 1,482 road complaints remained unresolved as of early February. MCG additionally constituted a Road Development Cell to track and expedite grievance redressal across multiple platforms including the GMDA portal, MCG mobile app, and Mhari Sadak.The Times of IndiaFIR against councillor's husband for 'abuse' of sanitation workersAn FIR was registered on Wednesday against Prashant Bhardwaj, husband of MCG Ward 33 councillor Sarika Bhardwaj, for allegedly using caste-based slurs and criminal intimidation against sanitation workers in Gurugram. The alleged abuse occurred on Monday during a dispute over sewer line work at Lakshman Vihar-2, prompting sanitation staff to stage a strike demanding Bhardwaj's arrest. Bhardwaj has denied the allegations, claiming the workers were incomplete in their duties and offering a counter-narrative that he has video evidence to support.The Times of IndiaHaryana approves Rs 315 crore waste collection project for Gurgaon, to hire 2 companiesThe Haryana state government granted administrative approval for a Rs 315.2-crore door-to-door municipal solid waste collection and transportation project in Gurgaon, reducing the original plan from four agencies to two agencies operating across two clusters over a five-year period. The project requires agencies to implement GPS and RFID-enabled vehicles, mandatory waste segregation at source, and separate handling of biomedical, hazardous, and e-waste at no cost to households. The approval follows months of delays and public complaints after MCG terminated its contract with Ecogreen in June 2024 due to poor performance, with a subsequent replacement agency also failing.
