The pre-monsoon river cleaning drive of Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) will conclude on June 5. However, NMC plans to continue with the mission to keep the rivers clean throughout the year.
Dayashankar Tiwari, Ruling Party Leader in NMC, told reporters in a press conference held in his chamber on Friday evening that NMC successfully implemented river cleaning drive with the help of individuals, groups, voluntary organisations, Government agencies, and private companies. “Till Thursday evening, 1.5 lakh metric tonnes of silt and garbage was removed from the beds of rivers Nag, Pili, and Pora. In all, 42 km long stretches of these three rivers were cleaned,” he said.
The campaign was started on May 9 to increase depth of the river beds by 1-1.5 metres, widening the river beds, removing garbage and silt from the rivers etc. The massive work is being carried out with the help of people, Tiwari said. National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT), Public Works Department (PWD), Water Resources Department, Kanak Resources Management Limited, Ginger Mall, Haldiram’s and other Government and private agencies made available excavator machines, trucks, tippers etc. The fuel expenses were borne under Saansad Jal va Paryavaran Rakshan Yojana. “NMC ensured that taxpayers did not have to shell out money for the drive,” he added.
Voluntary organisations, educational institutions, business houses, peoples representatives, students, and citizens have contributed funds for the drive. Some have handed over cheques of contributions to Pravin Datke, Mayor. The drive will conclude on June 5, but the cleanliness mission will continue through the year, Tiwari said. On June 5, the citizens of respective areas will be shown clean river beds in their areas so as to motivate them to work towards keeping these rivers clean.
