BMC passes new garbage scheme in Mumbai
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has recently passed a new garbage collection scheme to keep the city’s slum clean.
This new scheme has been introduced to keep a check and break the monopoly of present contractors who are appointed under the old scheme and to ensure better garbage collection services in slums.
The new scheme called the Swachcha Mumbai Prabodhan Abhiyan will replace the old one – Dattak Vasti Yojana and will be introduced in February. The old scheme was first passed in 2001 by the civic body in Mumbai city.
The civic body has assured that with the introduction of the new scheme, more stringent guidelines will be in place. While some committee members have gimmicked about the new scheme saying it promises nothing new for the slum dwellers.
Some of the members even sought amendments in the new scheme which include reducing the population of a slum cluster that is handed out to any contractor for upkeep.
