NEW DELHI: For providing better, efficient, transparent and prompt services to citizens South Delhi municipal corporation on Wednesday launched a new website . Lunched by Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari, the website will take the process of paperless services further as it offers facilities like online tehbazari fee payment, hawking fee payment, hackney-carriage registration and fee payment. Now, the licensees can pay their licence fee and also generate the receipts sitting at home without the need to come to the civic body's office or Citizen Service Bureau Centres.

South Corporation has already brought the sanction of building plans and issue of most of the licences such as general trade licence, health trade licence and factory licence online.

"The new website is more informative and provides most modern facilities to the citizens," Tiwari said after he launched e-mutation service.

Tiwari however could not miss the poor sanitation conditions which marks various parts in South Delhi as well as other parts of the capital. The municipal corporations of Delhi including financially stable South Corporation were among the worst performers in the country in Swachh Survey 2017. South Delhi ranked at 202 position among the 434 cities surveyed.

"For the success of Swatch Bharat Mission we have to remove garbage from all wards within three months," Tiwari, who advised authorities to improve the condition of sanitation, said. He however appreciated SDMC's ease of doing business efforts. He also asked the authorities to identify all dark spots in the wards and install LED for the safety of women and girls.

With the launch of e- mutation services, SDMC commissioner Puneet Kumar Goel said, SDMC has become a pioneer in this field which will provide a big relief to the property holders.

BENGALURU: It looks like civic bosses of Bengaluru want bulk generators of wet waste to be more responsible for the garbage they discard. Come June, BBMP will stop lifting wet waste generated by residential and commercial complexes with 20 units or more.

The Palike is gearing up with a policy under which garbage contractors will be asked to collect only dry waste from such buildings. Those who generate wet waste in bulk will have to compost it within their buildings.

BBMP joint commissioner (health and solid waste management) Sarfaraz Khan said the move aims to ease the pressure on landfills in and around Bengaluru. "The garbage contractors will be soon asked to lift only dry waste for disposal. Bulk generators can compost their waste and sell it directly to farmers or to the BBMP or use them in their own complexes for growing plants," Khan said. The official added BBMP will sell the compost to the agriculture department and it will reach farmers. After re-classification, apartments with 20 units and more are considered bulk generators. Earlier, they used to be complexes with 50 units or more.
