Ahead of the BJP national President Amit Shah’s Dehradun visit, the Chief Minister office (CMO) has gone into a hyperactive mode, determined as it seems to make things look better in the next two days.
Secretary to CM and Urban Development Secretary Radhika Jha has asked Dehradun administration and Municipal Corporation Dehradun (MCD) to make the city free from garbage in the next two days. She also asked them to procure quality dustbin from the department’s budget or on the corporate social responsibility (CSR).
She asked the sanitation inspectors to make areas falling within their jurisdictional limits garbage free in the next two months or be ready to be transferred in remote areas. Furthermore, she asked the city commissioner, joint director urban development, chief development officer (CDO) and additional district magistrate (ADM) to make surprise inspections in different parts of the city.
Jha said that one person must be appointed as a nodal officer in each ward of the MCD. The officer would inspect the entire areas on daily basis and would submit reports to the DM and the municipaly commissioner. Besides, she asked the officers concerned to make sure that the roads are free from potholes and the roads are soiled if required. She asked MDDA and MCD to install lights and flower pots in the roundabout of Clock Tower and Rajpur Road as part of beautification drive.
District administration has been asked to enforce anti- spitting and anti-littering act effectively and penalize the people found violating the act. She stressed on the act being given wide publicity to make more and more people aware of it.
