The Municipal Corporation of Manesar (MCM) has announced stricter enforcement against illegal waste dumping and the operation of non-functional sewage treatment plants (STPs). Residential societies and industrial units found discharging untreated water or dumping garbage will face FIRs. Officials have been instructed to act immediately during inspections instead of issuing repeated warnings. MCM is coordinating with the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) and Haryana State Pollution Control Board to monitor compliance, address environmental hazards, and tackle related civic issues, including illegal parking, encroachments, and public hygiene challenges in residential and industrial areas.
The Municipal Corporation of Manesar (MCM) has intensified its efforts to curb illegal waste dumping and the discharge of untreated water in the region. The civic body has announced it will now file FIRs against residential societies and industrial units found violating waste management rules, particularly those operating with closed or non-functional sewage treatment plants (STPs). This step reflects a zero-tolerance approach toward environmental violations and the growing public health risks associated with untreated sewage and garbage in open areas. Advertisement
MCM Commissioner Pradeep Singh has directed officials to take immediate action whenever violations are identified during inspections. Rather than relying on repeated warnings, officials are expected to enforce the rules on the spot. Complaints from residents have highlighted that untreated sewage and garbage are being dumped into drains, vacant plots, and unauthorized areas, creating unhygienic conditions and environmental hazards.
During a review meeting with the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC), officials assessed the current pollution situation and stressed the need for coordinated enforcement. Commissioner Singh emphasized that open dumping of waste and untreated sewage will no longer be tolerated, and all enforcement agencies must take swift action against violators.
Residential societies with non-functional STPs will be reported to the Haryana State Pollution Control Board. The civic body is also recommending punitive measures to other authorities, including the potential cancellation of occupancy certificates by the Town and Country Planning Department and the dissolution of residents welfare associations that fail to comply with environmental standards.
HSIIDC has been asked to conduct joint enforcement drives with local police in industrial areas to address civic issues, such as illegal parking, encroachments, and obstruction caused by street vendors. Industrial associations will also be involved to ensure compliance with designated parking and waste management norms. These measures aim to improve public hygiene, reduce environmental damage, and increase accountability among both residential and commercial units.
The MCM has highlighted that enforcement will be consistent, with detailed records maintained for all violations, actions taken, and follow-ups. Officials are tasked with ensuring that both residential societies and industrial units adhere to proper waste disposal and sewage management protocols.
Additionally, civic authorities are looking at stricter penalties for repeated offenders, including financial fines and legal action, to ensure long-term compliance. This approach is expected to improve sanitation standards, reduce environmental pollution, and strengthen residents confidence in local governance.
