Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

BMC turns responsive ?





DNA ( 08 Dec ) carries following news :





“ Swachhata goes digital, BMC launches app for complaints “



http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-swachhata-goes-digital-bmc-launches-app-for-complaints-2565897






In order to promote and encourage cleanliness among citizens, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has formed 24 teams who will visit all the wards across the city to create awareness about the new Swachhata-MoHUA App.

The teams will encourage citizens to download the app and guide them on the steps to be followed that will help them conveniently register the garbage-related complaints of their area from their phone. The teams will also interact with citizens to solicit feedback on the cleanliness situation.

Vijay Singhal, Additional Municipal Commissioner (eastern suburbs) and in charge of Cleanliness Survey 2018 said that the feedback from residents will help BMC to improve cleanliness standards.

Singhal said that residents can register their complaints through the Swachhata-MoHUA App which will aid fast redressal of complaints.

"The complaint made through the Swachhata-MoHUA App will be addressed within 12 hours. The BMC has made provisions for a separate control room to monitor complaints received through the app," said Singhal.

Civic-related issues like garbage dumps, dead animals, cleaning of public toilets and water supply can be resolved through the app.

Singhal added that cleanliness is a participatory process and the civic body alone cannot keep the city clean.


Congrats  , Shri  Singhal  ,




Congratulations on implementing ( - although , partial ) my suggestion :








I urge you to further implement , the rest of the features , at your earliest


Let BMC lead the way for other municipal corporations , all over India
