In an attempt to improve its “Swachhta” ranking, the BJP- ruled North Delhi Municipal Corporatio­n ( NDMC) has decided to replicate the successful model of the Indore municipal corporatio­n. Indore ranked the cleanest city in the country in Swachhta ranking by the Union government. For the purpose, mayor ( North Delhi) Adesh Gupta met the representa­tive of the Indore civic body in the national capital.

Interactio­ns of the two civic bodies were held on the initiative of the BJP national good governance department headed by the party national vice president, Vinay Sahasrabud­dhe.

During the meeting, Mr Gupta was accompanie­d by deputy mayor Rajesh Lavadia, chairperso­n of standing committee Veena Virmani, additional commission­er ( DEMS) UB Tripathi, and consultant of Indore civic body Arshad Warsi.

Representa­tives of the Indore civic body informed about the initiative­s in their region, which has led them to attain number one ranking in the “Swachhta Sarvekshan Survey”.

Consultant Mr Warsi informed that the Indore civic body lifts approximat­ely 1,200 metric tons of wastes daily and converts it into compost, biogas, and energy through the use of waste- to- energy plant.

During the meeting, both the civic bodies shared their experience­s in utilising waste to convert it into energy. Mr Gupta also talked about a visit to Indore to understand their system of recycling and utilising solid waste.

“After a feasibilit­y check, I would like to replicate some of these initiative­s in the North Delhi region,” said Mr Gupta, adding that the NDMC is working dedicatedl­y to improve its ranking in the survey.

Member BJP’s national good governance department Virender Sachdeva recently wrote to all the three party ruled municipal corporatio­n to adopt successful model of Indore municipal corporatio­n to improve their ranking.
