The mayor of Ludhiana has directed municipal officials to tighten the city’s cleanliness operations, emphasizing stricter compliance and immediate action.
Ludhiana’s mayor convened a meeting with senior municipal officials to address growing concerns over the city’s waste management and street‑cleaning standards. In the session, the mayor issued a set of stringent directives aimed at improving the efficiency of the cleanliness system, including tighter monitoring of garbage collection routes and faster removal of litter from public spaces.
The mayor stressed that existing lapses could lead to health hazards and urged the municipal corporation to adopt a zero‑tolerance approach toward negligence. Officials were instructed to deploy additional cleaning crews, enforce penalties for non‑compliance by contractors, and submit weekly progress reports to the mayor’s office.
The directive also calls for public awareness campaigns to encourage residents to maintain cleanliness and properly segregate waste. The municipal corporation is expected to roll out the revised protocols within the next week, with the mayor monitoring implementation closely.
