Gurugram (Paridhi Dhasmana), 12 November. Gurugram’s skyline may glitter, but its streets — especially in Udyog Vihar Phase-1 — are buried under dust, garbage, and indifference. Exclusive footage shared with BSN exposes what lies between Kapashera Border and NH-48: a corridor of chaos that begins near the Radisson Hotel and ends in civic apathy.
GRAP in Theory, Dust in Practice –
“See the best operation of our administration — GRAP 3,” the source says in one clip, cycling past heaps of sand and loose soil. Vehicles speed through, stirring the very dust the Graded Response Action Plan claims to control.
Under GRAP-3, uncovered soil and construction dust invite penalties. Yet on these roads, enforcement is missing in action. As the source quips, “You and my vehicle can be challaned, but nobody on earth can challan these people.”
Morning Tea, Daily Trash –
Near a major office complex, vendors line the streets as garbage piles up beside them — no cleaning staff, no accountability. “Subah hi rehdiyan lag jaati hain… log yahan khaatey hain, kooda daalte hain. Iski kabhi koi safai nahi hoti,” the source narrates. Unauthorized stalls clog the stretch, traffic crawls, and sanitation stays on leave.
The Wine Shop and the Sewer –
Behind an English wine shop stands an open dump — allegedly used by MCG workers themselves. The source claims that when garbage is picked up, it’s just shifted a few metres away. Behind it, a choked sewer festers with waste — a long-abandoned plan for rejuvenation now forgotten.
This mess unfolds metres away from the Radisson Hotel and HSIDC complex — sites meant to represent the city’s modern face. Foreign visitors pass through, but civic action doesn’t.
Clean on Record, Dirty on Ground –
The source alleges that complaints filed daily are shown as “resolved” in official logs — some even under officials who deny taking action. Sanitation staff, he says, appear once in weeks, “sip tea, click a photo, and leave.” The result? A city clean only in paperwork.
Accountability Lost in Dust –
GRAP’s rules empower authorities to fine citizens for dust pollution — but who fines the authorities when their roads turn into dust bowls? How can a city that generates crores in industrial revenue look like a dumping ground?
The Unanswered Question –
The footage reveals what policies often hide: India’s cleanliness drives aren’t failing for lack of rules — they’re failing for lack of will.
Because when the road leading to a five-star hotel looks like a landfill, one must ask — are we cleaning the city, or just the record books?
Public body must become so powerful to fine the govt authorities
