With night sweeping scaled down in Tiruchi, garbage begins to pile up
The Hindu
At a time when residents are up in arms against the poor solid waste management in the city, the Tiruchi Corporation seems to have scaled down night sweeping in many areas.
The civic body with an aim of supplementing the efficiency of solid waste management had introduced night sweeping in 2018. A group of sanitary workers, mostly men, were hand picked for all the four zones in the city to clean the main roads, Central Bus Stand, Chathiram Bus Stand, markets and other thickly populated market areas. Besides collecting garbage, they were tasked to remove the sand and mud accumulated along the important roads. Supervisors were also engaged to man the operation.
