Mira-Bhayandar: The Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) recently unveiled the name and logo of their team to participate in the second edition of the 'Indian Swachhata League.' This event is being held across the country under the aegis of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to celebrate nine years of the Swachh Bharat Mission.
The team has retained last year's name - Mira Bhayandar Swachha-Grahi - which had bagged the top spot in ISL's first edition in the three to ten lakh population category. This was achieved after a rigorous evaluation process.
This year, the number of participants has increased to 4,000. The sanitation department of the MBMC is doing their best to mobilise citizens, volunteers, students and activists for the event. Intensified cleanliness drives and rallies will be organised as well as plog-runs, beach clean-up drives, and awareness campaigns about the importance of garbage segregation at the source. Felicitation of conservancy workers and theme based essay and drawing competitions for students are also part of the programme. The fortnight-long competition will take place between September 17th to October 2nd.
The MBMC team will be captained by Sanjay Katkar, the Municipal Commissioner. He has appealed to citizens, students and members of social organisations to register their participation at https://innovateindia.mygov.in/islseason2/ with the spirit of cleanliness and resolve towards ensuring garbage-free and hygienic surroundings. Prizes and awards will be given in various categories, and the most unique citizen initiatives and posts will feature on the National Mission page.
In addition, the MBMC has reduced the number of artificial ponds and dropped the idea of idol collection units. This is to make way for the first batch of e-buses, which will hit the MBMC roads during Ganesh Utsav 2023. This will be a great step forward in ensuring cleanliness and hygiene in the twin-city.
