‘Days of residents make their main problem environment, every corporator will be forced to date that line’

Nagpur: The Mayor of Dayashankar Tiwari responded to the points submitted by the TII debate panelist on the issues of citizenship and sharing his vision for the city.
All panelists hold a view that the small hole roads get a makeover only during the election year.
We must see this in a holistic way.
The last two years saw every government organs – from citizenship bodies to the state just to the center – focus all their resources in fighting a pandemic.
As saving life and limiting the spread of infection into priority, road construction and maintenance do not get the attention they will have.
We watched the second destructive wave that took a long time for the city to recover from, but now things slowly return to normal, road work has begun again.
We have made rapid progress in ensuring that the road becomes free of the Cross and immediately all the way under NMC jurisdiction will be repaired.
Another concern is whether we really need cement roads, more specifically from an environmental point of view.
We certainly do it.
People ask how rain water will soak in and for this, stormwater waterways have been built on the side of the road, so there will be no waterlogging.
Second, the tree has been planted in the median and maintained.
Many citizens say the road height is raised, but few know that the same thing happens with road tar as the layer is added.
I saw Jalan Tar in Nagpur himself which had been stripped to reach the room below, and the tar layer in 3.5 feet.
Also, using tar we use natural resources more often because road tar requires more care, while the cement road can last for decades.
24×7 water is a promise that is still not fulfilled throughout the city.
When we start this project, the nagpur city population is different from now.
Every year the situation is getting better and we are getting closer to our 24×7 water supply.
NMC has stopped 197 water tankers, which means drinking water reaches people on time.
More closed areas under the water supply network and it’s proof of progress.
Dark collection agent is fined.
Don’t they do the right work or NMC failed to finish work? We are not satisfied with the way things are being done.
Qualitative change and agencies that get tenders must implement them.
We have studied the Indore model and will try the format of the zone level segregation center.
Also, this work will never succeed without citizen participation.
Who throws garbage on the road? NMC employees do not, citizens.
We all have to gather and take further clean nagpur initiatives.
There are times when Nagpur is calculated between the two or three greenest cities in India.
Is the environment not a priority for Corporators? Are we too optimistic about assuming it will be part of the election agenda someday? Each politician must provide what the people want.
Today citizens decide that the environment is a priority for them, all politicians, regardless of the party they have, will be forced to date that line.
NMC has done various green initiatives.
We are developing a fragrant park, we maintain a lot of public parks and also the vegetation that you see in the median road scientifically thinking.
Field experts tell us about the steps we must take for the safeguard environment.
The financial crunch in NMC is now general knowledge, and some panelists show that there are some unassed property lakhs I don’t think of the high quantum.
There are several unassesed properties but they are under our radar.
Legal issues in assessing the nature of arising from all illegal layouts.
We find that illegal builders are sold layout to someone, then people sell them to each other and the chain takes place.
Original sellers are lost and residents currently do not know about the legal status of the land.
This is one of the many technical challenges.
However, the number is not even one lakh.
Residents must inform us about these qualities.
