However, poor recovery of fees has forced senior civic body officials to make some alternative steps to sustain the cleanliness model.“Poor recovery of door-to-door garbage collection fees is a matter of concern. IMC officials face huge problem in collecting fees in slum areas. The civic body has now decided to create awareness among locals for their contribution in maintaining cleanliness.“People stop paying fees for garbage collection vehicles failing to turn up regularly. IMC’s door-to-door garbage collection charges calculated between April 1, 2018 and March 12 this year, authorities had to collect Rs 54.23 crore from 4.78 lakh account holders including households and commercial establishments in city. They should need to be regular to ensure payment of fees,” Sharma said..
