The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has planned special cleanliness drives covering across Mumbai. The drives will be carried out once a month and a day or two before important days such as Republic Day, and Independence Day. Officials from all 24 administrative wards in the city will involve citizens to identify spots in their wards that need to be cleaned.
"It is to instil the idea of regular cleanliness among people. No additional staff will be hired for the cleaning but our own employees will be deployed. Officials from all departments will closely monitor these initiatives, the Additional Municipal Commissioner Suresh Kakani was quoted by Hindustan Times.
BMC officials plan to devote a day for cleanliness to be instilled among citizens as well as our staff. This initiative is different from other such initiatives as it involves citizens to ensure that cleanliness is maintained in their areas.
The civic body officials said that cleaning efforts will be intensified at public places on these days while routine cleaning will be carried out on the following days. Having said that BMC assured that routine cleaning work on all other days will not be compromised.
