2017:- There are large chunks of unused land in
Sector 71 which is commonly used for dumping and burning waste. Although Sector
71 is largely home to urban settlers, residents said civic authorities have
been negligent towards it. We have been imposing fines and this issue (waste
burning) will be dealt with,” Vijender Sharma, senior sanitation officer, MCG,
said. Residents of Sector 71 and Sohna Road have alleged that despite repeated
complaints to civic authorities about widespread dumping and burning of unsegregated
waste in the area, no action has been taken. A police team rushed to the spot
and caught people allegedly involved in waste burning.
