The Sanskarinagri’s rank of cleanliness has been seen dwindling. And in order to tackle that, Vadodara Municipal Corporation has decided to conduct a cleaning drive ahead of the next Swachh Sarvekshan Survey.
The civic body has already started with the extensive cleanliness drive to improve the situation. Vadodara was ranked 44th in the 2018 Swachhta rankings where Ahmedabad, Surat, Vapi, Gandhinagar and Rajkot have surpassed the ‘cultural capital of the state’. VMC is now adamant to improve the ranking of city in the upcoming survey.
1. As per the VMC mayor, Dr Jigisha Sheth, several sanitation squads have been formed in all the wards to penalise those littering in public.
2. Cleanliness will be ensured at all the garbage vulnerable spots.
3. The body has also come up with a detailed cleaning plan for the Ring Roads and other 25 major roads of the city.
4. The responsibility will be conducted by the joint efforts of the sanitation and engineering department.
5. VMC will also organise an awareness drive to ensure the segregation of wet and dry waste at source. The drive will be aided by the mass media for this purpose.
Municipal commissioner, Ajay Bhadoo has said that geo-tagging of the house is being done along with the route of door-to-door garbage collection to ensure that every house is covered. Adding to that, he has also ensured all the sanitation workers are present and are not skipping their duties.
