The Brahmampur Municipal Corporation (BMC) at a special council meeting has approved the draft proposal to charge users’ fee for waste management.
The users’ fee charge from different houses and institutions in the municipal area has been decided according to the Urban Development Department guideline. Earlier, the BMC in advertisements had invited suggestions, complaints regarding the fee structure; but as no complaints or suggestions were received in a month manner, it has been decided to send the proposal to the State Government for approval.
After getting permission from the Government, the users’ fee would be charged from the residents.
The Corporators expressed serious concern over the water scarcity in the city. They said water scarcity has affected many parts of the city in February and in the coming days it would become more acute. There was total chaos in the meeting over the problem.
It was demanded that the BMC Commissioner should hold discussions with the Public Health and Engineering Department Executive Engineer, to solve the problem permanently.
A proposal was given to provide more water tankers as a temporary solution for the problem. BMC Mayor K Madhabi, Commissioner Susanta Mishra , PHED ENGINEER Asim Mishra and many Corporators were present.
