Important decision regarding the distribution of dustbins to the commercial establishments of Jammu City was taken during the meeting. It was decided that notices shall be served upon the owners of the Jhuggis which does not have basic facilities as the people residing in the jhuggis mostly defecate in open which creates unhygienic conditions in the locality.
Billawaria also directed the Officers of JMC to speed up the process of acquiring garbage lifting vehicles as the area of the Corporation have been increased and infrastructure is less than the requirement.
