India, July 24 -- The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has floated a tender worth Rs.96 lakh to beautify the Bandhwari landfill's front-facing stretch along the Gurugram-Faridabad Road. The initiative, which is a part of a larger Rs.2.45 crore revamp, aims to mitigate the visual and environmental impact of the landfill through a mix of landscaping, fencing and plantation, officials aware of the matter, said. MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya said the project tender includes planting trees and shrubs, erecting fences, installing tree guards, and surface turfing alongside newly constructed view cutters. "Administrative and technical approvals were already granted. The tender will be opened on July 29," he added. "This is not just about hiding a landfill. It is about setting a new standard in how civic bodies deal with legacy waste sites. The beautification is part of a broader vision for ecological restoration and urban cleanliness. A long-term plan is also being drafted, and a Request for Proposal (RFP) will be prepared by the end of September after appointing a consultant. The aim is to develop a sustainable solution," Dahiya said. The MCG chief, along with additional commissioner Ravinder Yadav and Swachh Bharat Mission joint commissioner Dr Preetpal Singh, conducted a site inspection on Wednesday. The officials reviewed work at the site including the installation of view cutters, construction of an RCC drain, and preparations for the beautification project. As part of the makeover, a 15-metre-wide and 400-metre-long cement concrete (CC) road will be built along the view cutters. A boundary wall, stormwater drain, and a second weighbridge to improve garbage truck movement are also part of the plan. Installation of jersey barriers between the road and view cutters is already in progress. A commuter, Manoj Sharma, who is a resident of Sector 56 and works in Faridabad welcomed the move: "For years, we have driven past the landfill holding our breath. It's unpleasant and embarrassing. If this makeover hides the garbage, it's a win for everyone." Meanwhile, work on constructing view cutters, a boundary wall, and a stormwater drain worth Rs.2 crore has already begun on July 14. According to MCG officials, view cutters are being installed to block direct sight of the landfill from the main road. Leachate and waste that had spread to the road outside the site have been cleaned and transferred inside....
