Various schemes has been assigned has been launched worth Rs 279 crores but all in vain.
Schemes launched are slum adoption scheme (Rs 49 crore), clean area scheme (Rs 27 crore), manning and mopping programme (Rs 26 crore), removal of refuse (Rs 170 crore) and cleaning of seashores and beaches (Rs 5 crore).
Even Deonar dumping ground was completed in 2009 but wastes being dumped were way beyond its capacity.
