Ahead of the much-awaited Swachh Survekshan in January, Dhanbad Municipal Corporation on Monday released the contact numbers of sanitation supervisors of all the 55 wards spread over five circles — Jharia, Dhanbad, Sindri, Katras and Chatatand — to help people inform them about unclean roads, clogged and overflowing drains and garbage and get their complains redressed.
The sanitation supervisors are responsible for lifting garbage, sweeping streets and cleaning drains with the help of 27 sweepers available in each ward.
Mayor Chandrashekhar Agarwal said, “We have published the contact numbers of the supervisors of all the 55 wards in addition to the numbers of the headquarters (9835143070, 9472836519) in newspapers to help people call them up and inform about cleanliness issues in their respective wards. People can also lodge complaints using the Swachhata MoHUA app.”
“We will publish the names and contact numbers of the supervisors in newspapers again to help people store their numbers and call them for help,” Agarwal added.
The mayor said door-to-door waste collection and lifting of garbage from vats would be carried out in a more organised way once the Rs 276-crore solid waste management project kicks off in a couple of months. Hyderabad-based agency Ramky Enviro Engineers has been selected to execute the project.
Chandrasekhar had recently said around 35 acres had already been provided by the Fertilizer Corporation of India to the DMC at Sindri on a lease for 25 years for installation of the waste-to-energy plant for recycling of garbage.
The civic body has meanwhile decided to intensify cleanliness work in the dengue-hit areas of Jharia including Sabzi Bagan and Chalchalia Dhaura localities.
Ravi Kumar, the programme officer of Jharia circle of Dhanbad said, “We will carry out intensive fogging in Sabzi Bagan from Tuesday for which we have already demanded two more motorcycle-mounted fogging machines from DMDS in addition to the two fogging machines allotted to Jharia.
The moves comes after larvae of Aedes Aegypti, the den-gue vector, were found in over 100 houses of Jharia during container survey carried out in Sabzi Bagan and Chalchalia Dhaura on October 24.
