Meeting to deal with Doon sanitation issues
public complaints regarding improper civic sanitation works in the
municipal area, Rajpur Road MLA Raj Kumar has requested the Urban
Development Minister to call a meeting with officials concerned and
direct them to take necessary measures.
The MLA also called the senior city health officer and directed him to improve sanitation work in the city.
Raj Kumar said that the level of civic sanitation has deteriorated in
the city and the Doon Valley Waste Management, contracted to undertake
door to door collection of garbage and its disposal is not doing its
work efficiently.
The efforts undertaken by the government for ensuring sanitation in
Doon are inadequate which poses a public health risk and deteriorates
the environment.
He said that garbage containers should be placed in spots from where
they were removed and that DVWM should increase its staff strength in
order to facilitate civic sanitation in the 60 municipal wards of
Dehradun.
He has requested the Urban Development Minister to call a meeting with
officials concerned on Monday and direct them to take necessary
measures.
