Yields positive results 

Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has launched a comprehensive Deep Cleaning Drive across all eight divisions of the city, focusing on both cleanliness and improving air quality.

The initiative, which started on December 30, aims to thoroughly clean major roads, footpaths, and dividers in areas with heavy vehicular traffic. By removing accumulated dirt and waste from these areas, the campaign seeks to reduce air pollution and improve the overall environment in the city.

Under the leadership of NMMC  Commissioner Dr. Kailas Shinde, the Deep Cleaning Drive has been implemented effectively, yielding positive results already.

The campaign has been meticulously planned, with a schedule prepared for each day to specify which roads and areas will undergo cleaning.

As part of this plan, the drives are being carried out even on public holidays, ensuring that cleanliness is maintained consistently across the city.

The efforts are overseen by Additional Commissioner Mr. Sunil Pawar and Deputy Commissioners Dr. Ajay Gadade (Circle 1) and Mr. Santosh Warule (Circle 2) from the Solid Waste Management Department. They are supported by Deputy Commissioners Mr. Somnath Potre (Circle 1) and Dr. Kailas Gaikwad (Circle 2), along with the six assistant commissioners and departmental officers.

The cleaning campaigns are being executed with the cooperation of sanitation officers, inspectors, and staff members across all divisions.

On January 9, the deep cleaning efforts were carried out in the Belapur division, covering roads from Konkan Bhavan to Highway Bridge and in the Tata Nagar area.

The drive was managed by Commissioner and Department Officer Dr. Amol Palve, alongside Sanitation Officer Mr. Naresh Andher, and involved the active participation of departmental officers, employees, and sanitation workers.

In the Koparkhairane division, the main roads in Koparkhairane village, Gavthan, and Extended Gaothan were thoroughly cleaned. The drive was supervised by Commissioner and Division Officer Mr. Sunil Kathole and Sanitation Officer Mr. Raju Singh Chavan, with the support of staff and sanitation workers.

Similarly, in the Ghansoli division, the main road from Dargah to Palm Beach Road in Sector 1 was cleaned under the supervision of Commissioner and Department Officer Mr. Sanjay Tayde, Chief Sanitation Officer Mr. Satish Sanadi, and Sanitation Officer Mr. Vijay Padghan, along with the department's officers, staff, and sanitation workers.
