The Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) has decided to hire at least 75% of sanitation workers locally to address rising complaints about sanitation inefficiency during the absence of migrant workers from Assam, who took leave to vote in their home elections. Mayor Sushma Kharkwal highlighted the need for improved accountability and monitoring of sanitation services, as 41% of the current workforce is from Assam. The LMC House also approved various infrastructure projects under the CM Grid scheme, including road construction and upgrades in key areas. Additionally, the House set a deadline of April 30, 2026, for completing pending waste management projects to enhance garbage disposal systems across the city. Other initiatives include reassessing school building safety and enhancing urban green cover through park development and Miyawaki plantations. The mayor stressed the importance of transparency and timely execution of all proposals to prioritize public interest.
