The state government has completed mapping of door‑to‑door waste‑collection routes across 66 of its 87 urban local bodies, aiming to improve solid‑waste management.
Haryana's municipal administration announced that it has finished creating detailed door‑to‑door waste‑collection route maps for 66 out of the 87 urban local bodies (ULBs) in the state. The mapping exercise, reported by The New Indian Express, involved surveying residential clusters, commercial zones and public spaces to chart optimal collection paths.
The initiative is part of the state's broader effort to modernise solid‑waste management, reduce missed pickups and lower operational costs for municipal crews. By assigning specific routes to collection teams, authorities expect higher efficiency and better compliance with waste‑segregation norms.
Officials indicated that the remaining 21 ULBs will undergo the same mapping process over the next few months, with the goal of achieving statewide coverage by the end of the fiscal year. Training sessions for municipal staff and the integration of the route data into existing waste‑management software are also planned.
The completed maps will be made available to local bodies through a centralized portal, allowing real‑time monitoring and adjustments as needed. The government hopes the data‑driven approach will set a benchmark for other states seeking to streamline urban sanitation services.
