Shame on you, @MunCorpGurugram @DC_Gurugram @cmohry – no respect for the land, for tax-paying citizens, and not even for the cows! And you want to build a Disneyland in Haryana? Ludicrous!” he wrote in a post on X, alongside a Google Maps screenshot of Sector 44.He further tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging immediate intervention under the Swachh Bharat Mission. “@narendramodi ji, please do something! #SwachhBharat, ” he said.In a follow-up post, Kapoor criticised the bureaucratic response to citizen complaints and mocked the use of mobile apps for reporting garbage issues He suggested officials must be “driving around blindfolded,” as they seem unaware of on-ground conditions. “Though I am sure the launch of the app will be tom-tommed and then they will consider the job done!” he added.The post sparked a flurry of reactions from residents, who echoed Kapoor’s frustration over Gurugram’s worsening civic state.One user wrote, “It would not be wrong if we call Gurugram #kuddagram. Every road is filled with garbage and potholes. Haryana govt just selling dreams not building it.”While another user tagged Haryana CM and said, “@NayabSainiBJP why Gurgaon is so mismanaged, there is pile of garbage everywhere. If we see side of roads, only plastic bags are there. Dustbin are non existent.”Kapoor, who frequently comments on civic and aviation matters, recently made headlines for defending Air India after the AI-171 crash in Ahmedabad, which killed over 260 people.
