Soon after mid-day audited the ambitious deep cleaning drive of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the civic body published a standard operating procedure (SOP) for the implementation of the initiative. According to the SOP, the zonal deputy municipal commissioner and ward officer will visit areas where the initiative is been carried out between 7 and 11 am daily. The civic body has also decided to implement an odd-even parking scheme at these locations.
The deep cleaning drive was kicked off in the first week of December. On Friday, mid-day released its audit of the endeavour after visiting six locations. Unfortunately, it came to light that they were far from spotless, as illegal hoarding and ugly cables were found at many spots. Roads were also encroached upon by hawkers and in some areas, community bins were overflowing despite the BMC collecting waste around the clock.
