JAMMU: As part of the ongoing Swachh Republic Day campaign, Commissioner, Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC), Dr. Devansh Yadav, today carried out a detailed inspection of sanitation and encroachment issues in wards No. 30, 31, 32 and 40, covering Talab Tillo, Gol Gujral, Punch House and surrounding localities.
The Commissioner reviewed the overall cleanliness scenario, including door-to-door garbage collection, lifting of legacy waste, cleanliness of streets and lanes and desilting of drains. He inspected major roads, inner lanes and public spaces to assess the ground-level implementation of sanitation measures being undertaken by the Corporation as part of the Swachh Republic Day initiative.
Dr. Yadav also took serious note of illegal encroachments on footpaths, roads and other public spaces, which were found to be causing inconvenience to pedestrians and vehicular traffic. The inspection also included the demolition of illegal stalls and the removal of vendors operating on sidewalks. He directed the concerned enforcement teams to carry out these actions in a systematic and time-bound manner, ensuring that public spaces are restored for public use and kept free from re-encroachment.
Emphasizing the need for strict enforcement, the Commissioner instructed officers to conduct regular anti-encroachment drives and maintain close coordination between sanitation and enforcement wings. He stressed that such measures are essential for ensuring smooth traffic movement, pedestrian safety and overall urban cleanliness.
Interacting with local residents and shopkeepers, Dr. Yadav appealed for their cooperation in maintaining cleanliness and complying with municipal regulations. He urged citizens to avoid littering, ensure proper segregation of waste at source and refrain from encroaching upon public land.
The Commissioner reiterated that the Swachh Republic Day campaign aims to ensure a clean, hygienic and encroachment-free city ahead of the Republic Day celebrations, reaffirming the Jammu Municipal Corporation’s commitment to improving civic amenities and enhancing the quality of life for the people of Jammu.
