MC's Ward No. 4 designated as model ward

The Amritsar Municipal Corporation has declared Ward No. 4 as a model ward. MC Commissioner Bikramjit Singh Shergill held a meeting with residents of Green Avenue and assured them that the ward would be made garbage-free.

The meeting was attended by Ward No.4 councillor Mandeep Singh Ahuja, Chief Sanitary Officer Malkit Singh, Sanitary Inspector Harinderpal Singh, representatives of waste management company RRR, members of various Resident Welfare Associations, and a large number of local residents.

During the interaction, the MC Commissioner announced that Ward No. 4 has been designated as a model ward, which will be developed into a completely garbage-free zone. He said that with the cooperation of residents and Resident Welfare Associations, door-to-door segregation of waste would be ensured so that wet and dry waste can be collected separately through designated vehicles.

The MC Commissioner said vehicles for daily waste collection have already been deployed in the ward. He urged residents to actively cooperate with the municipal corporation in making the city garbage-free and encouraged households to adopt composting practices within their homes.

He said the Bhagtanwala dump site will be cleared of legacy waste by October 1, 2026.
