Gurugram, Dec 29 : In a first of its kind of initiative, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG), is set to declare the Sector-23 market in Gorai a polythene-free zone by January 2021.
For this, the civic body has already deputed its staff in the market to keep a constant vigil.
The market has nearly 130 shops and more than 50 street vendors, who produce 45kg of plastic waste and polythene everyday, said the MCG officials. We all know that plastic is harmful for us and our family but why we still use it. If we continue to use it for our own convenience, then it can be difficult for the next generation to breathe. We should stop using plastic from today itself, said Dheeraj Kumar, Joint Commissioner, Swachh Bharat Mission, MCG.

To be fair to the MCG most government entities like to create a citizenry in their own image bureaucratic, officious, eager to prosecute.
The good people at the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) are lucky, perhaps, that Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade is fictional. Had he been around, instead of being a character played by Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman (1992), the MCG would certainly have received a tongue-lashing for its Christmas week launch of the “Family Sanitation Challan Book”. Essentially, children will be taught, through “play”, to inform on their families and friends, “to make them vigilant and to create an atmosphere in households wherein people are aware and keep checking each other,” according to MCG Joint Commissioner Dheeraj Kumar.
