After repeated complaints from the residents across Gurgaon, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) initiated a drive today to get rid of stray pigs.
The city has been divided into four zones, with a separate contractor allocated to each zone.
Six days back, City Spidey had taken up the matter with MCG after residents of Suncity Township in Sector 54 complained about the menace of stray pigs. The MCG had, at the point, assured prompt action.
The pigs caught will be sent outside Gurgaon. Municipal joint commissioner (headquarters), YS Gupta, said, “The teams will catch the pigs and transport them out of Gurgaon in a humane manner. If there’s any mishap during the process, the contractor will be taken to the dock. The MCG will not have any responsibility.” rwa management software
The MCG has also asked the contractors to submit a weekly report on the number of pigs caught in their zones every Friday. The contractors will strictly work in their respective zones.
