Ludhiana MC chief goes strict over cleanliness, sanitary supervisor suspended

With the Municipal Corporation (MC) Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal taking strict stance over cleanliness, a sanitary supervisor has been suspended, while show-cause notices have been issued to a Chief Sanitary Inspector (CSI) and Lambardar over lack of maintaining cleanliness in the allotted to them.

Action has been taken against staffers/officials concerned after lack of cleanliness was witnessed in their respective areas during inspection.

Sanitary Supervisor Vijay Chauhan was suspended over lack of cleanliness in the area allocated to him on the Chandigarh road (Veer Palace to Fortis hospital).

Further, show-cause notice was issued to CSI Surinder Dogra and Lambardar Pramod Kumar over lack of cleanliness on the road leading to the Civil Surgeon office from Dandi Swami Chowk (Old Dayanand Medical College Hospital road). The inspections in these areas were conducted on Friday.

Dachalwal said, “Strict directions have been issued to officials/employees of the health branch to ensure cleanliness in their respective areas. As these employees failed to perform their duties, action has been taken against them.”

Dachalwal further said, “Inspections are being conducted across the city on a regular basis and if any employee/official fails to perform duties to ensure cleanliness, they will face the music.”

Earlier too, in the month of July, a Safai Karamchari was suspended over his failure to stop open dumping of garbage and ensure cleanliness on the 100-feet road that falls under the Zone B of the Municipal Corporation. MC Commissioner Dachalwal appealed to residents to stop dumping waste in the open and support the authorities concerned in keeping the industrial town clean.
