Truancy of cleaning staffers affects city sanitation
Sanitary contractors of zone 3, 4, 6 warned to ensure full attendance of workers
Raipur, Aug 27, 2010
The lethargic attitude of sanitary contractors in carrying out cleaning works in their areas and the truant habit of cleaning staffers has severely affected city sanitation. To inspect the progress cleaning works in the capital, the municipal Commissioner Om Prakash Choudhary on Friday visited various wards of zone 3, 4 and 6 and found that none of the areas had full attendance of sanitary workers. Taking serious note on this, Choudhary immediately called upon the contractors and rebuked them for posing negligent attitude towards their contractual works.
Choudhary asked the contractors to ensure cent percent cleaning works in their areas with full attendance of workers. He directed the officials to take disciplinary action against the contractors whose deliberately ignore truancy of the cleaning staffers. He said the payments of such contractors should be slashed in proportion to the attendance of the workers.
Choudhary has recently cancelled sanitation contract of four contractors of ward 32 - Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh ward and ward 44 – Guru Ghasidas ward as two of them had not commenced the sanitary works in their respected areas while the remaining two had deliberately ignored less attendance of their cleaning staffers.
Notably, Choudhary as well as the Mayor Kiranmayi Nayak have categorically said that any irregularity in city sanitation would not be tolerated and the sanitation contractors would have to carry our works according to the terms and conditions of the agreement.
To implement the sanitary works more effectively, the municipal corporation will soon purchase dumpers with different capacity to collect garbage from the city as well as 3D machines to load the filth on the vehicles. For this, the RMC will spend about Rs 2.96 crore. In addition, the RMC is also hiring a Bangalore-based agency - Paradigm Environmental Strategies Private Limited to implement solid waste management system.
The civic administration will also provide about 2.5 acres land filling site to the government for installation of incinerator to dispose of bio medical waste.
