Gurgaon : Trash vans deputed by Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon have been installed with Global Positioning System (GPS) devices to ensure that the task of garbage disposal is carried out properly.
As part of the 'Clean Gurgaon' initiative, MCG had allotted 73 vehicles in Gurgaon to provide door-to-door service for collecting garbage and disposing it at the city's solid waste management plant at Bhandwari village.
The drivers, however, were not collecting garbage daily, the residents complained.
To deal with this problem, the MCG has installed Global Positioning System devices in all the trash vans which will help the department track their position and ensure that they cover all the areas daily.
"We are monitoring all the trash vans using the system.
If any driver does not complete his round in the designated area, he will be fined Rs 2,000," Gurgaon Mayor Vimal Yadav told PTI.
He also said that if any official or driver tries to tamper with the GPS unit, the cost of the device will be recovered from that person.
