New Delhi sources have stated that Mayors of the three civic bodies met Union minister Venkaiah Naidu to discuss issues related to Swachh Bharat Mission and the union ministry has agreed to release Rs 100 crore each to the three civic bodies for purchase of machines and equipment required for the task. The mayors explained their issues in achieving the desired goal and requested Naidu to render all possible help.
According to sources the corporations have been asked to submit separate proposals to the ministry for the release of Rs 100 crore. The ministry has also asked the corporations to immediately conduct a study on how the toilets can be improved in their respective jurisdiction. The same study will be used to improve the condition of slum clusters.
Meanwhile Nima Bhagat,
mayor of East Corporation told they have been assured by Naidu that Rs 100
crore will be released specifically for cleanliness projects. Then we can
launch the projects that are stuck in pipeline due to lack of revenue.
