Dirt is scattered like this in the drains. – Photo: amar ujala digital Expansion ‘Celebrate the festival of cleanliness for the seventh time’ This song is played daily on the vehicles coming to pick up the garbage in Indore. But Indore again comes first in the cleanliness ranking for the seventh time. Such efforts are less visible this time. This time the campaign of cleanliness is not able to leave an impact. Garbage has again started appearing in the toilets. Dirt and silt are again visible in the drains. The survey will start from next month. Cities like Surat, Navi Mumbai, Vijayawada are also competing with Indore to come first in the cleanliness ranking. Cleanliness is better in the main business area and posh areas of the city, but in slums and backward areas now Lots are starting to appear. The effect of reducing strictness and laxity in penalty for spreading filth can be clearly seen on the cleaning system. Earlier people did not throw garbage in Beklen for fear of fine, but now again most of the city’s Beklen is littered with dirt and does not get picked up for many days. Apart from this, Indore had made an edge in water plas last year due to the seven star rating, but this year the river drains are not visible as clearly as last year. Cleaning this time I am getting lax like this – Every year on the basis of solid campaign, the corporation is successful in getting more numbers. Last year, the campaign to finish the city’s drains had left an impact. This time only the formalities of the No Thu-Thu campaign were performed by the Municipal Corporation. – Garbage is not able to get up properly from Baklen. The tendency of throwing garbage in the drains has again increased among the city dwellers. Earlier, the garbage was not thrown behind due to the fear of challan action, but now the Municipal Corporation is not very strict about the penalty. , In the trenching ground, first the mountains of garbage were removed and gardens were made there. 100% garbage was being disposed of, but now mountains of garbage have started appearing on the ground and two incidents of fire have also happened in them. – Most of the garbage collecting vehicles have become dirty. Due to breakdown, vehicles are not able to reach the streets on time. Because of this people throw garbage here and there.
Three cities are giving competition to Indore
