Haryana Chief Secretary T.V.S.N. Prasad on Wednesday said due to the alarming levels of untreated waste in Gurugram the government has declared a municipal solid waste exigency under Section 22 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005.
In order to address the critical waste management issues, SWEEP (Solid Waste Environment Exigency Program) has been initiated.
