The World Bank’s Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) team on Wednesday met RMC Speaker Sanjay Shrivastava and Mayor-in-Council (MiC) members and discussed on various issues pertaining to sanitation including effective implementation of urban services in the capital. The WSP team assured the RMC administration to provide its technical support to improve the sanitary arrangements of the city.
The WSP team first met municipal officials including RMC Deputy Commissioner (Planning) Alok Chandravanshi, Health Officer Dr Amrit Chopra, Executive Engineer (Water works) KK Singh and Executive Engineer (Planning) NS Rathore and took brief information about water supply, sanitation and drainage arrangements in the city.
When the team met RMC Speaker, the latter emphasised on implementation of door-to-door garbage collection process in the city. For this, the Speaker said that the garbage collection vehicles should be used properly and people should be urged to avoid throwing litter in drains by creating awareness camps.
The Speaker said if an administrative and technical proposal regarding permanent solution of drainage problems would be prepared, he would certainly take initiative in requesting the state government to provide fund for implementation of the proposal. In this regard, the Speaker would soon conduct spot inspection along with MiC members and corporators of respective wards.
Public works department president Lakhwant Singh Gill suggested to the WSP team that the RMC’s workshop should have all basic facilities for better maintenance and operation of municipal’s vehicles. He also felt that the water supply system should be decentralised for better management. On sanitation, he said instead of using auto trolleys to collect garbage from the houses located in the narrow streets, the RMC could use handcarts.
The WSP team was comprised of communication manager Vandana Mehra, communication consultant Sanjay Gupta and communication consultants BKD Raja and Soumitra Tiwari ((from social development unit).
