‘Work harder to keep the city clean’
He was speaking after the inauguration of City Sanitation Plan, a sanitation workshop held by the Union Ministry of Urban Development, Administrative Staff College of India and City Managers’ Association and the Directorate of Municipal Administration.
Sureshkumar said this was a very important subject that needed much of the corporation’s attention and a decision on the same would be taken on December 8.
He said sanitation could not be narrowed down to toilets alone and included efficient Solid Waste Management and keeping public places and underground drainage systems clean.
Reflecting upon the recent announcements of the cleanest cities in the country, he said while Mysore was placed second, Bangalore secured the eighth place.
Advisor to the Chief Minister on Urban Affairs, A Ravindra, said they had discussed plans regarding sanitation, which needed to be approved by the Cabinet.
