JMC-Greater councillors to visit Pune to learn waste management

JAIPUR: JMC-Greater mayor Sheel Dhabai has said a delegation of councillors and technical people from the civic body will visit Pune to learn waste management techniques soon.

Dhabai, who had attended the All India Mayor’s Conference in Varanasi recently, has taken a resolution to make Jaipur one of the cleanest cities.

Addressing a press conference on Monday, Mayor Sheel Dhabai, said mayors of all corporations across the nation had gathered to listen to Prime Minister Narendra Modi through video conferencing.

"Modi instructed the mayors of all municipal corporations to make garbage-free cities regarding the Swachh Bharat Mission. I talked with the mayor and officials of Pune Municipal Corporation and decided that soon a team of councillors and technical people of JMC-Greater will visit Pune to learn waste management techniques. We will prepare a project report as well," said Dhabai.

The mayor said there was no place for a company like BVG in Jaipur city and a 15-day notice had been given.

If the system does not improve soon, the BVG company will be shown the way out, she said.

A special campaign will be organised to make the city polythene free and permanent arrangements will be made for the street vendors. Loans will also be given to vendors under the Pradhan Mantri Nidhi Yojana so that their livelihood continues.
