Indore Ready to Share Cleanliness Model with Other Cities: IMC Commissioner

Commissioner of Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) Shivam Verma yesterday said that his organisation is ready to share experiences and hand-holding with other urban local bodies of the country regarding waste management and cleanliness. Mr. Verma expressed his views at a plenary session of a two-day national conference at Patna organised by the NGO Sulabh International Social Service Organisation.

The commissioner said Indore has maintained its status as the cleanest city in India in the last several Swachh Bharat surveys due to its core principle of the best waste segregation and garbage-based revenue



model.

He said that despite several development activities like metro rail construction and others in his ULB, it has maintained its AQI under 100 points.

The commissioner said before 2015 the condition of Indore city was dilapidated, and the city was grappling with issues of sanitation and cleanliness.

Mr. Verma added that in the success story of Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC), its citizens have played a crucial role with a pledge and commitment to a better destiny. He said a sense of ownership and responsibility has played an important role in cleanliness.
