Why Indore is No. 1 Clean City

January 23, 2019

Sir,

I happened to stay in Indore city for about a week during our trip to Ujjain and Omkareshwar recently. It leaves me with little doubt in Indore scoring a hat-trick in Swachh Survekshan-2019 by retaining the Cleanest City tag this year also. There is a lot to learn from them. Here are a few points I observed during my stay there:

a) Garbage collecting vehicles go around the city in regular intervals and ensure that no garbage is overflowing from bins.

b) Even in places which are identified as Food Streets, (Shroff Bazaar and 56 Dukhaan etc.) you can hardly find used paper plates or cups strewn around.

c) They even clean the garbage bins with water after collecting the garbage.

d) Though Madhya Pradesh, like some other Northern States is known for chewing paan, you cannot find people colouring (with paan spit) any corners and stair-cases of public buildings.

e) Almost every half-a-kilometre, you will find neatly maintained public wash rooms and sign boards indicating their availability.

f) I also could find dustbins in some of the buses and private transport vehicles which I felt is a must to be made compulsory in all transport vehicles so that the roads automatically become clean.

g) I could not find any garbage dump or building debris within city limits.

Swachh Bharat awareness is found to be very high among the citizens also. A sincere attempt to compete with Indore maintenance can definitely be helpful in making our Mysuru achieve the top spot.
