ANHLGT organized a meeting with the Asstt.Commissioner and MCD officials

Around twenty seven societies of sector 7 ,Presidents/secretaries of nineteen societies attended the meeting. Two Presidents/Secretaries of sector 6, one each from sector 5 and Sector 22 were present in the meeting. Everybody participated enthusiastically. The inter action was very fruitful. The points discussed were:

1. Garbage is not being removed daily. It facilitates the rag pickers to fiddle with the bags resulting in littering of the area
2. Approach from Sarvodaya Aptts. to Krishna Kunj remains dirty and full of filth.
3. Absence of streetlights causes security hazard and a probable place for unwanted activities.
4. At some places garbage is being burnt which pollutes the environment.
5. Sector-6 weekly market of vegetables leaves the area littered after the Mandy is over.
6. The supervisor collects money illegally from the vendors.
7. But the area is not cleaned.
8. Florists in sector seven removed bricks from the pavement and constructed platform for their own use.
9. Four gaping open Manholes in front of Air Force and Naval CGHS are a great security hazard.
10. Disposal of cuttings from the hedges is difficult.
11. Litter from the liquor shop keeps flying in the area.

Suggestions
Garbage to be disposed daily before 1300hrs.
Bins to be placed outside societies.
Size of the bins to be in proportion to the size of the society.
Some App to be developed where picture of the scene could be sent.
Hedge cutting leftovers to be picked up by Horticulture deptt. for which days could be fixed for removal.
Liquor shop menace to be controlled.
Burning of garbage should call for strict penalty.
