The Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) during its routine inspection of ongoing cleanliness drive in the city caught Hotel Raj Shahi’s leftover and unused food being transported illegally in a loading rickshaw that is violation of the solid waste management regulation 2016. After that the IMC made Hotel Raddison, Fortune landmark and Sayaji cautious to remain abide with the solid management regulation 2016 besides it decided to take action against those doing piggery in the city.

Notably, arrangements of collecting filth from door to door have been made in the city on instructions of Mayor cum MlA Malini laxman Singh Gaud and Commissioner Manish Singh under the ongoing cleanliness drive besides arrangements of collecting waste and left over food from all hotels of the city through Corporation vehicles that collect wet and dry filth separately and carries it to the trench ground.

On Monday during the routine inspection of cleanliness drive the CSI of zone number 11 Anil Sirsiya found that the leftover food of Hotel Raj Shahi is being transported in a loading rickshaw. When the driver of the rickshaw was interrogated after stopping it he told that the unused food of the hotel is being sold to those who are doing piggery. The Corporation immediately took action and seized the rickshaw while the unused filth was sent to the trench ground.

IMC Commissioner Manish said that the vehicles of corporation are sent daily to the hotels for collecting waste and unused food and the collected waste is finished at the trenching ground as per the solid waste management regulation 2016. But we were getting complaints that some hotel owners are selling the waste to those involved in piggery and to stop it all the health officers and CSIs were instructed to keep an eye over it is the result of this that today we caught Hote Raj Shahi’s vehicle and took action against it.

Besides, we have cautioned other hotels including Hotel Raddison, Fortune landmark and Sayaji to strictly abide with the  solid waste management regulation 2016 else action would be taken against the, he added.
