BMC to install dustbins alongside drains at 400 spots
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is planning to install dustbins along the drains in the city to prevent slum dwellers from dumping garbage into nullahs.
These bins will be installed in 400 spots around the city after the civic body carries a nullah cleaning drive before monsoon to clean the Mumbai city garbage.
Around 400 spots have been identified by the engineering services department and a list has been sent to the solid waste management department.
According to reports, 70 per cent of the nullah cleaning is done before the monsoon, 20 percent during the monsoon and 10 percent afterwards. All the garbage dumped is cleared and carried to the dumping grounds.
This initiative has been taken to instill a civic sense in citizens and correct all the wrong outcry which has spoiling BMC’s name.
The clogging of drains due to plastic carry bags was one of the major reasons for the 26/7 deluge in 2005, in which the entire city came to a standstill and over thousand people lost their lives.
