CHANDIGARH: UT adviser Dharam Pal has asked the municipal corporation to cover the entire city in the door-to-door garbage collection project by November-end.
The direction was issued during a recent meeting chaired by him and attended by MC commissioner Anindita Mitra and other senior officers of the administration. Sources said earlier the deadline given by the UT adviser was October-end, but the MC officials submitted that there were still some issues that had to be addressed.
The project of doorstep waste collection through MC vehicles was launched in December last year by former UT administrator VP Singh Badnore. The civic body is yet to cover commercial areas of the city, 10 rehabilitation colonies and certain pockets in villages. Besides, the collection in residential areas was also not satisfactory. The idea behind the launch was to implement successful collection of segregated waste.
