MUMBAI: With complaints of garbage and filth on city beaches increasing, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to take away beach cleanliness works from the solid waste management (SWM) department and allocate it to the civic ward offices.
Several beaches in the city, which are one of the major tourist attractions, are full of garbage slowing becoming into a night mare for the visitors.
Prakash Patil, deputy municipal commissioner (SWM), said, "The beach cleaning works will now be given to respective ward offices. The ward officials will also be given rights to take action against negligent contractors and fine them. They have also been asked to get the works done by using additional manpower at the contractor's cost."
There are nine chowpatties in the city - Girgaum, Juhu, Dadar, Gorai, Marve, Versova, Madh, Aksa and Manori. According to the people, the garbage that washes up on the beach contains several materials like plastic and industrial waste. Tourists visiting the beaches are also causing plenty of trash. Locals also say that the amount of garbage has increased significantly since last few months and is likely to increase more due to impending festivals like Ganeshotsav and Navratrotsav.
Last week, the BMC had organised beach cleanliness drives at some of the city beaches with the help of non-government organisations.
The decision to allocate beach cleanliness work to ward offices was taken a couple of days ago. The ward officials have been asked to visit chowpatties regularly and ensure beach cleanliness, said a civic official.
