Identify locations for processing solid waste in 15 days:

Union Urban Development minister M Venkaiah Naidu today said that the identification of locations for processing solid waste should be done by all the municipal corporations in consultation with the DDA within next 15 days.
Reviewing implementation of the 'Swachh Bharat Mission' in the national capital here, he directed that 'dhalaos' should be cleaned regularly and details of private agencies involved in the task should be in public domain, a press release said.
Pointing out that MCDs and DDA should meet twice a week to sort out the issues, which are hindering the solid waste management in the capital, he said, local bodies should be involved to get feedback on regular basis.

He also called for a three-pronged strategy to relialise the goal of Clean India, which should include sustained campaign, voluntary public participation and recognition of ULBs, NGOs and private sector contributing significantly to the success of the Mission.
"We should rope in not only social but also spiritual and religious leaders for this campaign. Respectable persons from the society also have to be brought in to spread the core message of this campaign," he said.
Naidu advised that the officers at every level should take note of complaints and feedback from the media, particularly the social media, relating to lack of sanitation, act upon them and take remedial measures as quickly as possible.

He suggested that private sector should also be roped in Swachh Bharat Mission as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility.
The Minister also asked Municipal Corporations to hold meetings and take the support of Traders' Associations for installation of dust bins in market areas. All street food vendors should compulsorily be made to have a waste basket, Naidu said.
