A2Z starts work early after RMC warnings
RANCHI: The workers of the A2Z Waste Management Company
were seen starting work from as early as 7 am on Thursday morning,
unlike other days when their duty hours would begin from 9 am.
For the past few days, the Ranchi Municipal Corporation seemed dissatisfied with the work of A2Z Company and had threatened the company to take severe action against it if it did not improve its quality of work.
The result of the warning was clearly visible in the city on Thursday when the A2Z workers were not just collecting garbage, but were also found cleaning drains at many places.
Health officer of RMC Rajan Singh said, "We noticed that the work of A2Z Company was not satisfactory and we were also receiving several complaints from the public. We warned the company to mend their ways. They have promised that they will make the city clean soon."
With several festivals like Sarhul and Ram Navami approaching, both involving huge processions and with the expected visit of President Pranab Mukherjee by the end of this month, the A2Z Company is left with very less time to make the city spick and span.
Vijay Pandey, national HR and operational head of A2Z, said, "We have brought several changes in the work process. Now the small carts will start work at 7 am instead of 9 am. Also, 14 more tractors will be added for night service to clean garbage bins throughout the city."
As the A2Z workers started full-fledged work, traffic at many places was disrupted but people did not seem to have a problem with it.
"I was on my way to work at 11 am when I noticed that the A2Z workers were cleaning the drain and piling all the garbage on the road. For a change, I did not get irritated as the drain was jammed for several days now and cleaning it was more important than clearing the traffic for a day," said Rajesh Rai, a businessman.
