The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) on Tuesday made public a Rs3,215-crore comprehensive ‘City Cleaning Plan’ (CCP) under the national urban cleanliness policy, focussing on water supply, sewage and solid waste management, and protection of environment.

It will seek budgetary support of Rs603 crore from the PMC standing committee, which is expected to take it up on Thursday (December 22).

A major component of the CCP is ensuring toilet facilities for all and management of toilets, estimated to cost Rs70 crore.

Sewage treatment (Rs845 crore), solid waste management (Rs170 crore) and water supply (Rs1,167 crore) are the important components of the plan.

The PMC also proposes rainwater management by developing 23 basins in the city at an estimated cost of Rs957 crore.

Emphasis would be given on spreading awareness about cleanliness and changing citizens’ attitudes to sanitation, for which a provision of Rs4.16 crore has been sought.

Although the total estimated budget for CCP is Rs3,215 crore, the PMC is supposed to provide Rs603 crore, with the remaining expected to be provided by the state and central governments.
The process of preparing the CCP was on for a long time. The first meeting was held under the chairmanship of the municipal commissioner on July 30, 2010.
