A rapidly growing Gurgaon — IT and communications hub of
North India — is today at the cusp of a possible environmental crisis which may
be triggered by modern technology. Electronic waste is a byproduct of
technological advancement that has become a health concern in all urban centres
of the world. And Gurgaon, where the IT industry is central to the economy, is
certainly no exception. In recent days, some new e-waste recycling units,
licensed and approved by the pollution control board, have come up in the city.
