Dharwad: Although the collection of garbage door-to-door has been applied in all wards in Dharwad City, the practice of throwing garbage in empty places has not ended.
To resolve this problem, HDMC has produced a new size.
Pouracumikas raised the trash was discarded, cleaning the place, planting puppies and drawing ‘Rangoli’ with a message – ‘stop littering, save the place clean and neat.
This exercise has been made into a movement and even awareness is being made among people in sanitation.
The waste disposal site that emits a foul odor and resting places for pigs and wild dogs now look clean and attractive with colorful rangolis.
Commissioner HDMC Suresh Itnal said they had identified 467 places in twin cities where people dispose of garbage.
So far 112 such places have been cleaned, puppies have been planted and Rangoli has been withdrawn.
HDMC has identified 349 black spots in Hubballi, where 79 has been cleaned and 33 of 118 in Dharwad has been cleaned and generally.
Narasimha, a civil worker, said, “Even after visiting every household and collecting garbage, some people still throw garbage in the open.
This problem is more on the road where small restaurants are.
They operate late at night and throw all the waste in empty areas And close their business.
“This exercise goes well with the public because they have stopped throwing garbage in the areas that have been cleaned, he added.
Suburbs in Dharwad near Tank Kelergeri, Haliyal Road, TV Tower, road connecting Uday Hostel Circle to the train station and the road to Hosayallapur Crematorium are trash cans dumped in large quantities and have become a pedestrian view.
“The action by Pourakakas must be embarrassing to those who dispose of garbage on the roadside.
People must understand that maintaining clean and scientific waste management in the city and they must cooperate with the nationality authority” said Sandeep, an engineer.
