Clean Thane Mission

 

Be it making bio-fuel from nirmalya (holy waste) or making the city digi-smart by launching an app, Thane has seen a wide range of developments in all spheres and always been at the forefront of new changes. Interestingly, Thane Municipal Corporation has ensured public participation in all initiatives.
With major infrastructural projects in the pipeline and several developments already taking place in the city, there is also a need to ensure cleanliness. And so, on 20th June, Mayor Sanjay More announced a cleanliness competition for housing societies, residential complexes and even slums of Thane. “The societies which win in this competition will be rewarded with 5% rebate in property tax for one year,” said Sandeep Malvi, Public Relations Officer, TMC.

While larger housing societies will be adjudged on parameters like solid waste management, tree plantation, efficient water utilisation, rain water harvesting, maintenance of fire equipment, regular payment of TMC taxes, voting awareness among residents, etc, slums in the city will be ranked on cleanliness of surroundings, water utilisation, gutter and nullah cleaning, electricity maintenance, etc.

The contest begins on July 15 and ends on September 15. TMC will examine the participant societies and slums from September 16 to October 16. Interested housing societies and slums can fill up the forms available at SWM office at Pachpakhadi by July 15.
