Complaints have started piling up against the company that was hired by the Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) for door-to-door waste collection about two months ago. BVG India company tasked with the project was supposed to collect the waste from eight wards of the city.
Now, even the Commissioner of Jaipur Municipal Corporation, Ravi Jain, has raised question over the working and performance of the firm. Jain recently did a review of the door-to-door project and according to the minutes of the meeting, the JMC commissioner was not satisfied with the performance of BVG India company.
During the meeting, it was disclosed that the firm’s vehicles were not collecting garbage from even half the houses from areas that were assigned to it. Even in the wards where the firm is working, the JMC had to use its resources for collecting the garbage. To gauge the efficacy of firm’s working, Jain has ordered that all the JMC resources being deployed for the collection of garbage in Ward No. 4 of Civil Lines be removed.
The door-to-door waste collection project was started two months ago to make Jaipur neat and clean. In the first phase, BVG India company started the work of door-to-door collection in the month of May in eight wards of Mansarovar and Civil Lines zones.
It is being alleged that the JMC deliberately allotted Mansarovar and Civil Lines zones to favour the company because private contractors are already doing the work of door-to-door garbage collection in these areas and sanitation conditions here are much better than other areas of the city.
Giving such area to the company smacks of favouritism, it is being said. The JMC officials told the commissioner that the company was told to provide the route plan of the vehicles that are engaged in the door-to-door garbage collection but the firm failed to provide it.
