Overview
- BMC Commissioner Ashwini Bhide, who made early-morning surprise rounds Wednesday, inspected the Mint Road pest depot, the Love Grove pumping station in Worli, and ward sites in A, C, D and G South.
- Her review covered pest and rodent control gear, sewerage and road-repair depots, plus verification of attendance and on-duty sanitation staff.
- Bhide told departments to treat complaints on the MARG app, the BMC’s grievance platform, as priority so issues get fixed without delay.
- She sought tighter vector control by improving food-waste pickup from street vendors and restaurants using sealed bags and by requiring builders to prevent mosquito breeding at construction sites.
- The spot checks build on last week’s visits to a sanitation outpost in Kannamwar Nagar and the Kanjurmarg solid-waste facility, indicating an escalated citywide push before the monsoon.
