Navi Mumbai seeks to top India’s cleanliness table

After winning third place last year, the town is on a fresh ‘swachh’ drive position After securing third position in the 2022 Swachh Bharat Sarvekshan, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has intensified its efforts of securing the top rank in the 2023 cleanliness survey.

NMMC’s city engineering department has identified almost Rs 200 million worth of work to be undertaken across all eight wards in the city. It includes refurbishing wall paintings, placing new litter bins, new covers for drainage channels, maintenance of the water fountains, re-laying paver blocks, repainting the road lane markings, zebra crossings, etc.

The maximum beautification work is to be undertaken in Nerul, followed by Vashi and Turbhe.

The beautification and repair works are expected to go on for the next three months. “Around a fortnight ago, every engineer was asked to look into the condition of the works already done last year. We had to identify the kind of repair work required as well as suggest newer additions which would enhance the city’s overall look,” said an official from the engineering department.

Officials said at least Rs 3 million worth of work is to be undertaken within each of the nodes.

“Instead of undertaking minor works it was decided to come up with comprehensive tenders wherein all aspects for Swachh Bharat Sarvekshan will get covered,” said city engineer Sanjay Desai.
