Gurugram Municipal Corporation began a ten-day cleanliness campaign on October 2 to tackle 21 places where rubbish repeatedly accumulates. The drive runs through October 11. Its launch is a commitment to clear the identified sites, rather than confirmation that every location has already been cleaned.

Akashvani reported that Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini inspected a cleaned site near DHBVN Colony on Mehrauli Road. He called for household and institutional waste to be separated, with public participation alongside municipal collection arrangements.

The New Indian Express reported a location-by-location programme, beginning near DHBVN Colony and at Sarhaul, followed by Tikri and Sector 18 on October 3. Residents’ associations, shopkeepers and local residents were invited to participate.

The distinction between a one-off clean-up and lasting service is important. The stated aim includes preventing fresh dumping; the launch reports do not establish that this has been achieved across all 21 points. Continued collection and checks after the drive will determine whether the cleared spaces remain usable.
