As a tribute to the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) plans to make the state capital a filth-free city by October 2, 2019.
With the aim to check accumulation of garbage at places other than dump yards, from where filth is taken to the landfill site by Lucknow Municipal Corporation trucks, if succeeds and can control the spread of filth, it will be able to fetch Lucknow the title of a filth-free city.
The LMC would place 100 compactors at important places so that the garbage can be dumped into these containers.
The corporation would purchase 500 big dustbins that would be placed at various spots while 500 mid-sized dustbins would be placed in main markets and other public places.
LMC will also purchase 20 small vehicles to transport filth from various corners of the city.
Around 200 handcarts would also be bought for removing filth from the narrow lanes of Lucknow.
The Municipal Commissioner Indramani Tripathi said that it will be the greatest tribute to Gandhiji by the Corporation if the LMC is successful in doing this before October 2.
