Under the Pragati-50 initiative, Raipur and Bilaspur are set to be developed as model clean cities, potentially leading to an increase in user charges for municipal services.
The Chhattisgarh government has outlined plans under its Pragati-50 programme to transform Raipur and Bilaspur into model clean cities. This initiative aims to significantly enhance urban sanitation and waste management infrastructure in the state's two major urban centers.
As part of the strategic overhaul, authorities are considering revisions to municipal user charges. The potential increase in fees is intended to generate additional revenue to fund the upgraded cleaning and maintenance services required to meet the new cleanliness standards.
The move signals a shift towards a more structured approach to urban governance in Chhattisgarh, focusing on sustainable city management. By targeting Raipur and Bilaspur first, the administration hopes to establish a benchmark for other cities in the state to follow in the coming years.
