“Toi has reported about poor sanitation management by NMC.
Even though it pays more money to two private agents – Ag Enviro and BVG India – Door-to-door garbage collection has failed to improve.
In fact, it has deteriorated further, forcing the Mayor of Dayashankar Tiwari to be an inquiry committee led by the ruling party leader and Senior BJP Corporator Avinash Thakre.
Chatterjee said, “Without a solid waste treatment plant, we will never be able to enter the first 10 because about 40% of the total sign assigned to collect solid waste, transportation and treatment.
We cannot score under the GFC even afterwards appoint two new agents With new infrastructure, garbage collection is not in accordance with the target.
