Gurugram, Jan. 14 -- A contractor hired by the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) for door-to-door garbage collection in Zone 3 faces scrutiny over complaints of "irregular" and "inadequate" waste pickup. The firm, Classic Manpower Ltd, was awarded a six-month Rs.1.83 crore contract on January 9. In March 2025, the same agency was accused of dumping garbage in the ecologically sensitive Aravalli forests while working in Tauru. The deputy commissioner of Nuh district issued notices and initiated an enquiry, which remains pending. Haryana industries and commerce minister Rao Narbir Singh also ordered a probe, stating, "We had initiated an enquiry against the agency for its shoddy work and asked it to clear all the waste that was dumped in Aravallis." Despite this, MCG awarded the contract via tender. MCG executive engineer Sundar Sheoran said 176 GPS-equipped vehicles were to be deployed. On the agency's background, Sheoran explained the allotment followed standard procedures. "If any agency is found violating the terms, including illegal dumping or irregular collection, action will be taken including penalties and termination," he said. Residents report problems. Bhawani Shankar Tripathi, general secretary of Sector 23A RWA, said: "Half of our sector's doorstep waste is being collected by a private agency appointed by us, while the other half is being handled by an agency that has been collecting garbage here for the past five to six years. No new agency has taken over." Contractor Jagjit Singh Nain, director of Classic Manpower Ltd, refuted allegations as "false" and declined comment on the Tauru case. MCG additional commissioner Ravinder Yadav acknowledged the system is in a transition phase. "Some operational gaps have been reported, but we are addressing them through daily supervision and vehicle tracking," he said. On the contractor's past, he stated he was unaware but would verify and take action....
