As a follow up to the meeting held by the Deputy Commissioner of Dharwad regarding damaged roads in the twin cities, the Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation Commissioner Ramandeep Choudhary met officials here on Tuesday and directed them to expedite the pothole filling works since the rains had subsided.
To remove dust caused by ongoing underground drainage works, the Commissioner directed the Executive Engineer (solid waste management), the Environmental Engineer and health inspectors to use sweeping machines to clean up the main roads and junctions.
Mr. Choudhary also directed nodal officers and zonal heads to monitor solid waste disposal and cleaning in their zones, and to report the same everyday.
Asking officials to expedite the filling of potholes, he pointed out that Rs. 15 lakh had been released to the executive engineers for taking up the work.
Officials told Mr. Choudhary the work had been taken up in some wards. The commissioner asked them to begin work in the remaining wards and to complete it by August 11.
