MCC to take up door-to-door waste collection under their authority

CHANDIGARH: The Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh has decided to take over the door-to-door garbage collection work in the city under their administrative control over the waste collectors. The civic body has planned to provide waste collecting vehicles to the sanitary workers and give them employment without changing their present working zones. With this decision now the residents of the city don’t have to pay any fees to the garbage collector directly instead pay the fee either through their water bills or property taxes directly to the civic body. K K Yadav, Municipal Commissioner said, “The civic body will require at least 300 vehicles for the garbage collection at a cost of Rs 21 crore.”
