Delhi Waste Dumping in Gurugram: Police Arrest 10 in Syndicate Probe
Police in Gurugram say trucks were bringing rubbish from Delhi into the city.
They arrested 10 people and took seven vehicles.
Police believe the group worked together to move the waste.
Some plastic and other useful things were separated and sold.
The operation came after Haryana’s chief minister told officials to stop outside rubbish from being dumped in the city.
Police have opened four cases and are still investigating.
They are checking who owns the vehicles and where the rubbish came from.
So far, officers say they have not found an initial connection to a Delhi civic body.
Gurugram already produces a large amount of rubbish and has problems managing it.
Police arrested 10 people and seized seven vehicles suspected of bringing municipal and plastic waste from Delhi into Gurugram.
Four FIRs were registered: two at Bajghera police station and one each at Udyog Vihar and Rajendra Park.
Police allege the waste was sorted in Gurugram, with plastic and other useful items sold to buyers elsewhere.
The operation followed Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini’s Friday review and order for strict action against outside garbage shipments.
Investigators are tracing the supply chain and vehicle ownership; officers say they have found no initial link to a Delhi civic body.
