GURUGRAM: On Friday, Pahuja outlined her plans to tackle waste management, traffic congestion, and the Bandhwari landfill crisis in Gurugram. Edited excerpts:

Gurugram has been struggling with sanitation issues and unhygienic public spaces. If elected, how will you address these concerns?

The sanitation situation in Gurugram is deteriorating, and unfortunately, the current administration has failed to implement an efficient waste management system. Overflowing sewers and uncollected garbage is a reality in several wards. If elected, my priority will be to introduce a waste disposal and sewer maintenance system that ensures timely garbage collection and unclogged drains. I will work to establish a monitoring mechanism where officials are accountable for maintaining cleanliness, and residents can directly report concerns through a digital grievance redressal system.
