Gurugram, Oct 2 — Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday directed officials to prepare comprehensive development plans for Gurugram in view of the city’s rapid expansion and future requirements, while also ordering action against officials over complaints received through public grievance channels.
Taking cognisance of a complaint regarding the improper functioning of a sewage treatment plant (STP) operated by a builder, the Chief Minister directed the suspension of both Regional Pollution Control Officers concerned.
Saini said negligence or incorrect reporting in the disposal of citizens’ grievances would not be tolerated and that strict action would be taken after fixing responsibility.
The Chief Minister was chairing a review meeting on development works being undertaken in Gurugram district at the local PWD Rest House.
He directed officials to prepare development plans for Gurugram, keeping in mind the city's future growth, and ensure their implementation within a fixed timeframe.
Saini said Gurugram should be developed as a modern and well-planned city equipped with adequate civic amenities.
He emphasised the need to strengthen existing infrastructure while properly assessing future requirements.
The Chief Minister stressed the importance of better roads and traffic management, adequate drinking water supply, modern residential and commercial facilities, clean and developed markets, expansion of green belts and parks, and stronger facilities related to sports, recreation and citizen safety.
Saini directed that the waste collection system in Gurugram be made more effective and said a special campaign should be launched to ensure regular and systematic waste collection across the city.
He said keeping the city clean and attractive was not only the responsibility of the administration but also a collective moral responsibility.
The Chief Minister instructed officials to work proactively and take preventive measures instead of waiting for problems to arise.
He directed that a clear timeline be fixed for the campaign, with a daily action plan prepared and regularly reviewed to accelerate implementation.
Reviewing the disposal of legacy waste at the Bandhwari landfill site, Saini directed officials to expedite the work in accordance with prescribed timelines.
He instructed the executing agency to set clear targets, ensure their completion within the stipulated period and maintain continuous monitoring.
The Municipal Commissioner of Gurugram informed the meeting that the disposal of legacy waste at Bandhwari was targeted for completion by the end of February 2027, one month ahead of the prescribed deadline of March 2027.
The Chief Minister directed officials to maintain the pace of work and ensure effective monitoring so that the target could be achieved ahead of schedule.
