Srinagar aims to be a waste-free city!

The Srinagar Municipal Committee is leaving no stone unturned in its mission to transform the city into a waste-free and clean environment. In a proactive step towards achieving this goal, the corporation has initiated the removal of all open dustbins and garbage collection points in various parts of Srinagar.

Officials from the corporation stated that a significant number of these bins and collection points have already been taken down, and they are hopeful that the 100% target will be accomplished in the near future.

The key focus of their efforts has been on achieving door-to-door waste collection, which has been successfully implemented, ensuring a more organized waste management system.

Despite the commendable progress, the corporation has encountered challenges with some individuals who are not cooperating with the waste disposal initiatives. Unfortunately, there are instances where people continue to discard waste at the locations where the bins have been removed.

In response to such behavior, the corporation has taken strict actions, penalizing those responsible. Repeat violations could lead to the initiation of FIRs (First Information Reports) against the offenders.

In certain cases, the non-corporation from the public has been so pronounced that the corporation is considering reinstalling the bins at these locations to maintain a cleaner environment. However, the officials remain determined to make every effort to persuade the public to embrace proper waste disposal habits and cooperate with the waste-free city campaign.

With the upcoming Muharram procession, the corporation is paying special attention to cleanliness measures. Dedicated teams have been deployed on the ground to ensure that the city remains neat and tidy, particularly in the areas through which the processions will pass.
