MC closes more than 50 garbage points to make Yamunanagar, Jagadhri clean

The Municipal Corporation, Yamunanagar-Jagadhri (MCYJ) has closed more than 50 garbage points to make Yamunanagar and Jagadhri clean and beautiful cities.

After closing these garbage points, the MCYJ has placed flower pots and benches at those places.

Earlier, these places used to be points of foul smell due to accumulation of garbage, but now instead flowers pots have been placed in these areas.

The MCYJ is also planning to undertake plantations on the possible points, so that the residents of twin cities can get a clean environment.

According to information, Municipal Commissioner Ayush Sinha held a meeting with the officials of the MCYJ a few days ago.

He instructed the officials of the MCYJ to close the garbage points in both zones of the MCYJ.

He also instructed them to prevent people from dumping garbage at those points again and asked them to keep flower pots and benches at those places.

On the instructions of the Municipal Commissioner, a team headed by Chief Sanitary Inspector Harjeet Singh closed the garbage points at various places in 11 wards of Zone I.

The team has closed the garbage points near the RTO office, Haryana Co-operative Bank, Jhanda Chowk, Indira market, Ankush Hospital, Shibbu Mal dharamshala, Old Age Home, Buria Park, Sharma tent house, Fodder market, Old vegetable market, Kohli Hospital, Kamboj nursery, Chhoti Line, Bhagat Singh Park, Dussehra ground and Keshav Park.

Similarly, the other team headed by Chief Sanitary Inspector Sunil Dutt closed around 30 garbage points in Zone II.

These points include outside the Municipal Corporation office, near Maharana Pratap Chowk, Swarn Jayanti Park, ITI, Kanhaiya Sahib Chowk, Old Hamida truck stand, Radaur Road culvert, Joriyo petrol pump, Sant Nirankari Satsang Bhawan in Farkpur, Sargodha sweets house, Bypass Bridge in Ward 17, government school of Govindpuri and Hanuman temple in Sarojini Colony.

After removing the garbage points, the teams of the MCYJ placed flower pots and benches there.

Sinha instructed sanitation officials to inspect the closed garbage points regularly, so that no one dumped garbage at those points again and damage the pots.

Additional Municipal Commissioner Dr Vijay Pal Yadav said the MCYJ had started door- to-door garbage collection vehicle service to collect garbage from every house, shop and other places.

He appealed to the people to put garbage from their houses in those vehicles instead of throwing it in the open.
