Saran DM asks civic bodies to ensure cleanliness, arrange toilets in markets | Patna News – Times of India
Chhapra: Saran DM Aman Sameer on Saturday held a meeting with the officials of civic bodies and directed them to arrange public toilets in markets, besides maintain cleanliness at public places in their jurisdictions.
He also instructed Chhapra Municipal Corporation (CMC) to manage toilets on the premises of Hathua Market, which lacks the facility since its inauguration about 50 years ago.
The DM directed to spot and remove red and yellow spots, caused by betel spit and open urination at public places, respectively. The civic bodies were also instructed to segregate solid and wet garbage at the point of collection, and educate people about its importance. “The cleaning of streets in the civic area must be visible. The executive officers and other officials must ensure the identification of water bodies in their area and take steps for their beautification and regular cleaning. Also parks and tourist spots in their jurisdiction.”
He told officials that the single-use plastic is completely banned, and regular raids should be conducted to check its misuse, followed by steps to raise awareness among the people.
“ Steps should be taken to remove illegally displayed posters and banners through a campaign, and action should be taken against those responsible for this offence,” he told civic body officials.
