Clean city campaign from April 15
The Clean and Green Visakha programme will begin from April 15.
Addressing
a meeting on the arrangements and plan of action on Friday, Municipal
Commissioner M.V. Satyanarayana said an extensive awareness campaign
will be conducted from April 1 to 15. Among the plans for making
effective use of 600 tons of wet waste a day was setting up a big biogas
plant. Tenders will be called to dispose of separated wet and dry
wastes. He said the response from citizens was good and GVMC officials
and staff were also coming forward to make it a success.
A study tour would be organised to Mysore and Goa where SWM achieved good results, he said.
Tenders have already been called for clearing the massive dump at Kapuluppada, Mr. Satyanarayana said.
Joint
Director of Municipal Administration and Urban Development S.A. Khadar
Saheb, who successfully spearheaded a campaign at Suryapet, gave a
detailed presentation on the schedule to be followed.
