‘New broom will sweep clean’

Special Correspondent

GHMC Commissioner Somesh Kumar on Wednesday directed health officials to arrange for more convenient, lengthier brooms for municipal sweepers, in place of the existing shorter ones. Pointing out that garbage swept was getting scattered due to windy conditions, he wanted that wheel barrows be provided so that refuse could be dumped in the nearest dust bin.

The Commissioner, who found damaged stretches of footpath along Necklace Road, asked officials to prepare estimates for laying new ones with tiles/ shabad stones. He also visited Chirag Ali Lane and directed that dust bins be shifted to the bylanes from the main roads.
