Waste mgmt: DVWM taken off sanitation duty in 20 wards
Rajpur Road MLA Rajkumar also submitted a memorandum to Panwar and later attended the meeting chaired by the minister. The MLA complained that the DVWM had failed in executing its task as required. After the complete analysis of DVWM’s work, it was found that the employees of the company have failed to maintain the sanitation arrangement of the city.
All the related issues were discussed in the meeting held with the minister and finally the officials of MCD decided to take away the responsibility of as many as 20 wards from the company, Kumar said. The MNA said that he presented the complete report of the company to the Minister and it was concluded that the company has completely failed to perform door to door collection of garbage.
This has adversely affected the sanitation condition of the city leading to the public discontent. The DVWM will look after the responsibility of the remaining 40 wards of the town as it was doing earlier, said Kumar. The decision would be implemented effectively from December 1. He further said that the amount of Rs 28 lakh due to DVWM from September to October will also be paid to them by a committee of the MCD.
Meanwhile, the company has also been penalized by MCD for a sum of Rs 8 lakh and Rs 5 lakh for September and October respectively for not lifting the garbage in that onth, Kumar said.
