GURUGRAM: Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on 2 October launched the GVP Mukt Abhiyan, a 10-day Municipal Corporation of Gurugram drive to clear 21 garbage vulnerable points across the city, tying the start to Gandhi Jayanti and the wider Swachhata Hi Seva 2026 calendar under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan.
The campaign runs from 2 to 11 October under the slogan "10 Din, 21 Kachra Bindu, Ek Gurugram". MCG has framed the fortnight as both a clearance push and a prevention push so identified spots do not refill once the piles are lifted.
Saini inspected a GVP-free site developed by MCG on Mehrauli Road near the DHBVN colony to mark the launch. He told residents that government systems, modern technology and public participation have to work together, and that households and institutions must segregate wet and dry waste instead of dumping in the open.
What MCG wants from RWAs and how to track spots
The corporation has appealed to resident welfare associations, shopkeepers, schools, youth groups and local residents for shramdaan in their own stretches. The civic message is to turn every kachra bindu into a sundar bindu once the 21 listed points are cleared and kept clear through the 10-day window.
Saini asked residents not to dump garbage in the open, to segregate at source, and to hand waste only to authorised collection vehicles. Street-play teams performed at the launch to push the segregation message, and officials present took a cleanliness pledge with the Chief Minister.
Garbage vulnerable points in Gurugram usually sit at sector service-lane corners, market back lanes, nullah edges and construction dumps where daily sweepers cannot keep pace with open dumping. Clearing them in a timed drive matters only if RWAs and shopkeepers stop re-dumping the same evening the pile is lifted.
Complaints and ward routing for sanitation sit on the MCG portal at https://www.mcg.gov.in/. District civic complaints that span more than one agency can also go through https://gurugram.gov.in/. Residents who see a cleared GVP reappear should log the ward, landmark and time rather than only posting photos in society groups.
The drive does not replace the corporation's regular door-to-door collection. It targets the 21 stubborn open dumps that keep drawing secondary dumping even when nearby societies pay for collection. Officials said the test will be whether those points stay clean after 11 October, not only whether they look clean on launch day.
Shopkeepers near market back lanes were reminded that cardboard and plastic left overnight become the next morning's GVP. Schools and offices on the list of nearby generators were asked to keep wet waste sealed and dry waste bagged until the authorised vehicle arrives.
MCG has not published a ward-by-ward photo diary with this launch note, so residents should treat the 21-point count and the 2-11 October window as the firm public frame. Any later ward list or before-after board will sit on the municipal channels above once field teams finish the first clearances.
For societies that already segregate, the ask is to police the shared dump corner for three nights after clearance. That is usually when open dumping returns. The Chief Minister's launch puts a dated state-level stamp on that local habit change for this 10-day window.
