Summary:
We discovered that the companies were covering only about 30% houses under door-to-door garbage collection despite taking over the charge of waste management a year ago. As of now, 100 sanitation workers are collecting garbage from five wards across the city. “PMC has 4,000 sanitation workers, including permanent and daily wagers. Working on public-private partnership (PPP) mode, Nishka Security and Intelligence Services and Patheya People’s Association for Total Help and Youth Applause were engaged for garbage collection across the city in 2017. However, major decisions regarding the establishment of alternate solutions for this would be taken by the PMC board in its meeting on May 23,” he said.Residents on the other hand cited unawareness about door-to-door garbage collection..
