Community mobilisers will oversee waste management
Hubballi: Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC) initiated a plan to employ community mobilisers for supervising cleanliness operations and educating residents about appropriate waste disposal methods. Starting July 15, these mobilisers will work alongside health inspectors and oversee pourakarmikas' activities beginning at 6 in the morning. They will have the authority to photograph individuals who dispose of rubbish in public spaces, enabling the authorities to impose penalties on offenders. Mayor Jyoti Patil in her maiden and seventh edition phone-in programme received many complaints related to garbage disposal violations among a total of 33 calls. Later, the mayor said she will focus more on proper garbage disposal and streamlining Solid Waste Management (SWM). She added that the officials of SWM completed the recruitment and selected 63 community mobilisers. After completing all formalities, the mobilisers will start working after July 15, she added.

Mayor Patil emphasised that achieving a clean and green city requires active public participation, noting that despite multiple initiatives, citizens are not collaborating with HDMC in eliminating black spots. R Vijay Kumar, superintending engineer, HDMC, said CCTV cameras have been installed at more than 116 black spots, with additional cameras placed in all HDMC wards using corporators' funds.
