The Grrabogram system of waste management is close to the collapse of the mass exodus of domestic and hygienic workers, which allegedly powered police verification and retention drive focused on suspicious illegal immigrants. Since hundreds of informal workers have fled the city in the last days, the fall has been fast: the collection of waste from the door to the door stopped in several sectors, the streets overflow with non -regregated garbage and housing tries to cope with ad hoc arrangements.
Panic is palpable, while residents and activists attribute the mass exodus a wave of detention allegedly focused on Bengal -speaking informal workers. From the 103 and 57 sectors to Palam Vihar, Golf Course Extension Road and the Grrabogram-Faridabad Road, the streets of waste are lined, which increases concerns about the upcoming emergency health. Civic volunteers and residents claim that the absence of trained hygiene staff has left no possibility to hire a tractor trolley to dispose of waste – often lead to indiscriminate dumping without segregation.
“They didn’t even inform us either. Many just disappeared overnight,” HT HT said.
Between 13 and 21. July, at least 100 individuals were reportedly detained by the police – many employed as garbage collectors or garbage collectors. According to the inhabitants, five were later released after allegedly said to take trains in Assam. The condition of others remains unclear. Families claim that most detainees are Indian citizens, some of whom have lived in the grrogram for more than five years.
“They were not even allowed to go home and bring their Aadhaar cards. The police have just drawn them into the vans,” Anwar Hussain, a 45 -year -old garbage collector, said.
Activists and experts claim that the situation is a direct consequence of systemic negligence of the urban corporation of the Grrabogram (MCG). “Gurgaon’s waste services have failed disastrous,” said Ruchika Sethi Takkar, founder of citizens for clean air. “Ignoring the SWM 2016 MCG rules and the failure in the institutionalization of waste workers brought the system to the knees.”
Takkar said that civic groups have already submitted the representation of MCG and the Commissioner representatives and demanded an emergency emergency plan, which includes temporary compositions of dry waste, immediate public roads and interim collection.
“It is not a sudden crisis,” said a waste management expert. “This is a collapse of years in production. If MCG follows SWM standards – created dry waste centers, forced segregation of source and integrated informal workers – this situation could be turned away.
While citizens are trying to bridge the gap, officials have remained largely silent. Commissioner MCG Pradeep Dahiya admitted that the city’s operation was hit hard. “Most waste collectors are migration workers and we will influence our operations to influence our operations. We work with higher officials and the main minister to find alternatives and minimize disturbances,” he said.
Activists, however, claim that the crisis exceeds the civic collapse. “It’s not just a garbage,” Takkar said. “It is a collapse of the invisible economy that keeps the city running. Without a humanitarian plan, the infrastructure collapses.”
In Palam Vihar and other sectors, the inhabitants of migrants who will approach them to help and fear harassment, even though they have valid documentation. “They are focused on their identity,” one resident said. “Even is those who have dose cards and aadhaar are treated as criminals. This is inhuman.”
Rahul Khera, an expert on the sector 54, noted that although four new private agencies hired MCG, “no matter who collects waste, it is a migrant work.
He emphasized the need for reforms, but condemned the current approach. “Even immigrants with a valid documentation are afraid. This is not administration – it is fear.”
Deputy Police Commissioner (headquarters) Arpit Jain said that the verification drive was led according to the instructions of the Ministry of the Interior (MHA) focusing on suspicious illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
“Details of any suspect are sent to the domestic secretary, district judge or representatives of the Commissioner of the State for verification. If the report is negative, we start deportation proceedings with the help of the central government after the placement of an individual in the field of holding.
He confirmed that even those with Aadhaar and other documents are temporarily held until their credentials are verified by state authorities. “We ensure that no real citizen faces unnecessary harassment.”
However, the police refused to publish the location of four holding centers or the number of detained or deported individuals, referring to security reasons.
