The Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) is going to hire an agency soon to manage the sanitation facilities from the door to door garbage collection service to its complete disposal in the new 31 wards of Dehradun. The corporation has already given the responsibility of managing the sanitation facilities including door to door service in the 69 wards out of 100 wards in the city to Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited (REEL). Now the MCD is planning to hire a new company for this work in the remaining wards. According to the chief municipal health officer Dr Kailash Joshi, most of the procedure is completed and the municipal corporation will soon float a Request For Proposal (RFP) after which a company will be selected by the MCD to manage the sanitation facilities in these wards. He said that this remaining procedure will probably be completed in a few weeks and soon after that, the company will start the work in the said wards.

Meanwhile, the corporation is also getting strict about the families who do no dispose garbage through the door to door service in the city. According to Joshi, the garbage on roadside areas appears to keep on increasing even after door to door service and regular cleaning of the roads by the corporation. One of its reasons might be that rather than disposing garbage in door to door garbage collection vehicles, locals are dumping garbage on roads, said Joshi. He stated that the corporation has asked the management of REEL to provide the list of which houses actually dump garbage in the door to door service and which don't so that the corporation can take action on its basis. He said that it will take at least one month to get the full list of such families. As stated by the officials, the corporation will first issue a notice to those who refrain from dumping the domestic garbage in the door to door service but will impose penalty if they continue to do so after receiving the notice too.
