GHMC Launches Citywide Sanitation Drive Across 300 Wards From Monday

The campaign follows a sweeping reorganisation into 12 zones with 60 circles to strengthen waste management.

Overview

  • The month-long push runs from December 29 to January 31 across all 300 wards, with daily operations beginning at 6.30 a.m.
  • Work will start with foot overbridges on Monday and flyovers on Tuesday, then move to roadsides, medians, lakes and nalas, footpaths, parks and construction and demolition waste.
  • The plan targets garbage-vulnerable points and legacy waste, converts select sites into selfie points, and deploys spot fines along with school waste segregation and on-site composting.
  • Following the merger of 27 urban local bodies, GHMC announced locations for 12 zonal and 60 circle offices and installed new zonal commissioners.
  • To bolster operations, 60 deputy executive engineers were reassigned to the SWM wing, and veterinary officers were ordered to capture stray dogs near hospitals and schools with accountability for bite incidents.
