GURGAON: In its drive to
make Gurgaon a cleaner and greener city, the HUDA, has lined up many
plans. The civc agency is to introduce e-sampark kiosks in different
zones for bill payments, information counters and many more facilities.
The department has also introduced door-to-door garbage collection in the HUDA sectors starting with Sector 14 and 22 for which nine new garbage collection vehicles have been introduced.

As an initiative for a cleaner city, a new variety of garbage bags is
being introduced for the city. It has been planned to bring about some
major changes in the city as well as the functioning of the department
to make life easier for the common man.

In a meeting chaired by the HUDA administrator, Praveen Kumar,
it was mentioned that the concept of the new garbage bags would change
the city’s level of hygiene. These bags are high-quality plastic bags
which wouldn’t tear easily and could be used a number of times.

“I have seen the model of the bags and it is functioning successfully
elsewhere. An open iron cage-like structure would be created in which
these bags would be hanged. The iron cage would be high enough to
prevent stray animals hopping into it. The bag would be hanged with it
top open onto the iron structure with the rope which would make it
easier for the garbage collector to carry it. These garbage bags would
be placed in the markets, green belts, roadsides, parks and other locations,” said the administrator.

Talking about the e-sampark facility, he said the kiosks would be set
up in different localities and would have facilities like bill payments,
information counter and many other facilities. An e-sampark kiosk is
being planned in every sector.
