Pant instructed officials of Solid Waste Management to carry out survey of black spots and survey the same so that in first phase 50 sites can be beautified.

 

The staff has been asked to take up five sites that see maximum garbage dumping in each of the zone. The Additional Municipal Commissioner asked the ground staff to identify the reasons why these spots see dumping of garbage so that in case of any deficiency in garbage collection that is done at door to door then systematic alterations can be done. Also the concerned Cleanliness Inspectors is entrusted responsibility of beautifying these spots. NMC has set deadline of November 15 to eliminate 50 notorious dumping sites.
