Gurugram residents protest illegal dumping along GCER, Sector 23A
The protest was led by citizen group Gurugram Residents Against Pollution (GRAP), with residents also putting forward a 12-point charter of demands
On Sunday, Gurugram residents took to Golf Course Extension Road (GCER) to protest against illegal dumping, raising concerns over sanitation, public health, and the deteriorating condition of the road. Led by the Gurugram Residents Against Pollution (GRAP), the protesters held placards demanding an end to illegal dumping. The 12-point charter of demands included a city-wide audit of civic infrastructure, repair and maintenance of roads, and stricter enforcement against dumping and encroachments.
Gauri Sarin, GRAP's convenor, expressed the residents' frustration, stating that they pay taxes and contribute to the city's growth, yet they suffer from poor roads, waste management, and traffic issues. In Sector 23A, residents gathered near a temporary dumping ground, accusing the local authorities of disposing of waste on a vacant plot near Carterpuri cremation ground due to the closure of the secondary collection point for repairs.
