Urban Development principal secy oversees sanitation work of MCD
officials of the Municipal Corporation of Dehradun. In view of the
deteriorating level of sanitation in the State capital, Khan inspected
various areas of the city and oversaw the sanitation work of the MCD on
Sunday along with municipal officials.
During his inspection, the principal secretary told the MCD Mukhya
Nagar Adhikari Ashok Kumar that the corporation is responsible for
maintaining sanitation in the city. The failure of the MCD to execute
its responsibility effectively has led to deterioration in the level of
civic sanitation in the town, said Khan.
He instructed the MCD officials to ensure that the piles of garbage in
different areas of the city are cleared without fail by Monday and that
garbage containers are placed where required. “The Doon Valley Waste
Management company working on garbage disposal is also failing in its
task,” said Khan, while adding that he would chair a meeting on Tuesday
to dicuss the issues and reach a solution.
He directed the MNA to attend this meeting with complete information on
various aspects including the payment made and due to the DVWM company
so that a solution could be worked out to the problem. Appointing the
additional MNA Uday Singh Pundir as the nodal officer for sanitation
works in the State capital, the principal secretary also directed him to
conduct periodic inspections to check garbage disposal and level of
sanitation in town.
Khan further directed all officers of the MCD to ensure necessary
action against the officer and supervisor concerned in case of improper
garbage disposal in their areas. The additional district magistrate
(Administration) Harak Singh Rawat, JK Pant of the Urban Development
department, senior city health officer RK Singh, MCD executive engineer
Ravi Pandey and others were also present during the inspection by the
principal secretary.
