Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: “Every possible government help will be provided to take Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to the top in the field of cleanliness in the country,” assured state Social Justice Minister and District Guardian Minister Sanjay Shirsat.

He was speaking during the inauguration of a new solid waste collection and transportation system established by the Western Imaginary Agency at Ayodhya Nagari on Thursday. A solid waste transfer centre was also inaugurated on the occasion.

After the establishment of this system, no manual work will be required in manholes. The department is planning to make the entire drainage cleaning system manual-free, he said.

Minister Atul Save said Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar is being modernised and several basic amenities are being provided to citizens through the municipal corporation and the state government. The city is gaining recognition at the global level and can emerge as a leader in cleanliness, he added.
