Do not dump garbage in water bodies: Collector
Chairing a meeting of Commissioners of all municipalities and officials from town panchayats here on Tuesday, Mr. Balaji said that garbage should be disposed of only at the sites earmarked for the purpose. Sanitary workers should begin their work early in the morning.
Officials should identify 25 spots in their locality where large quantity of garbage were dumped and those spots should be cleaned every day. Similarly, the garbage collected in residential and commercial areas, near schools, in hospitals, temples and bus stands should be removed immediately.
He asked the officials to ensure adequate water facility and proper cleaning of public toilets. The officials should submit reports on quantum of garbage removed from each local body within a fortnight.
Regional Director of Municipal Administration Mohan, Assistant Director (Town Panchayats) Deivanayagam and block development officials were among those who were present.
