Navi Mumbai :- In the wake of the monsoon season, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation has launched a drive to enhance cleanliness throughout the city. The Commissioner, Mr. Rajesh Narvekar, has provided directives to prioritize cleanliness, focusing on clearing debris from roads, removing encroachments on footpaths, and ensuring cleaner streets.
To implement this initiative effectively, Mr. Narvekar and his team have visited various areas, including Belapur, Nerul, Vashi, Turbhe, and Koparkhairane, to inspect the cleanliness efforts in these locations. They also directed officials to expedite the cleaning process.
The aftermath of the monsoon season has left roads and sidewalks cluttered with debris and obstructed by overgrown trees, hindering pedestrian and vehicular traffic. To address this issue, the Municipal Corporation is planning to clear the overgrowth and trim trees to ensure safer roadways.
The Corporation has also urged shopkeepers to keep the front of their stores clean, emphasizing that cleanliness can be a significant factor in the scoring system for businesses. Shopkeepers are encouraged to place two separate dustbins, one for wet waste and one for dry waste, outside their stores.
Navi Mumbai’s Sanpada area, which houses the newly constructed Gaming Zone, is another area receiving special attention. Officials are actively monitoring and cleaning the vicinity to maintain cleanliness and ensure a safe environment for children and families.
Additionally, the Corporation plans to provide training to residents, especially children, in areas with lush greenery and parks, to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining a clean environment. The Corporation’s efforts aim to instill a sense of responsibility among residents and enhance the overall cleanliness of Navi Mumbai.
Mr. Narvekar also mentioned a unique initiative – the establishment of a cleanliness park in Navi Mumbai, reflecting a futuristic vision for the city. This park, named “Nisargodayan,” is known for its innovative design, which includes digital features, and it aims to adapt to the changing times. Officials are exploring options to use advanced technology for water treatment, further promoting cleanliness and sustainability.
Furthermore, the Corporation is working on providing treated tertiary water to various industries, allowing for significant water savings. This initiative not only benefits industries but also promotes environmental conservation by reusing treated water and supplying fresh water to residents and businesses.
Navi Mumbai is committed to upholding the spirit of cleanliness and adopting new ideas to set itself apart. The city’s residents and tourists alike will soon experience a distinctly cleaner and more environmentally conscious Navi Mumbai. Commissioner Rajesh Narvekar’s dedication to enhancing cleanliness has set the city on the path to a brighter, more sustainable future.
