The Municipal Corporation of Faridabad (MCF) is introducing a new four-tier cleaning model aimed at improving sanitation across the city. This initiative, which will cost approximately ₹120 crore (about $14.5 million USD), is a response to recent sanitation issues exacerbated by protests from sanitation workers. The MCF plans to deploy mechanised road sweeping machines on major roads wider than 10 metres, which will not only sweep dust and garbage but also sprinkle water to reduce pollution. For roads between five and 10 metres, dedicated sanitation teams will follow fixed routes for regular cleaning. Additionally, the MCF is developing a model for narrow lanes and colonies, ensuring door-to-door waste collection and drain cleaning. Special night-time sanitation drives will target crowded marketplaces to minimize disruption. The city will be divided into four zones, each overseen by specific monitoring agencies, and equipped with GPS systems to track cleaning operations in real time. MCF commissioner Dhirendra Khadgata emphasized the corporation's commitment to enhancing sanitation standards and is optimistic about implementing this plan by next month.
