The tender, one of the largest sanitation contracts proposed for the industrial township in recent years, will open for bidding on June 5, according to documents reviewed by HT.

Officials said the project will cover sweeping of roads, collection and transportation of garbage from designated wards and roads, drain cleaning and mechanised sanitation services across sectors, villages and industrial areas falling under the civic body’s jurisdiction.

The move comes amid increasing complaints from residents and workers regarding garbage accumulation, inadequate sweeping services and sanitation gaps in rapidly urbanising parts of Manesar, especially industrial belts and densely populated residential areas.

According to a senior MCM official, the civic body has proposed deployment of more than 600 sanitation workers along with mechanised road sweeping machines and other sanitation equipment under the contract.

Officials said the five-year project will include regular cleaning of internal roads, market areas and public spaces. The contract also aims to streamline door-to-door waste collection and strengthen monitoring of sanitation services.

According to the tender, GPS-based monitoring of sanitation vehicles and attendance systems for sanitation workers will also be introduced to improve accountability and oversight.

Manesar has witnessed rapid industrial and residential expansion over the past decade, but residents have frequently raised concerns over inadequate civic infrastructure, particularly waste management and sewage disposal. Large stretches of roads in industrial sectors and village areas often witness open dumping of waste and irregular garbage lifting, especially during summer and monsoon months.

Officials said the proposed sanitation project is intended to address long-pending operational gaps and improve overall cleanliness standards across the municipal corporation area.
