The Dehradun district administration has approved the financial assistance to the Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) to buy new fogging machines. Last month, the mayor Sunil Uniyal 'Gama' had stated that due to the lockdown to curb Covid-19 pandemic in the State, the earnings of the corporation had been quite low and therefore, he had asked the district magistrate for financial assistance to buy new fogging machines.
Informing about the matter, chief municipal health officer, Dr Kailash Joshi informed that the district administration has provided financial assistance to MCD and the tenders for 30 fogging machines will be invited soon. He added that in the next few days, new fogging machines will be available in the corporation.
Meanwhile on the question of the current situation in Sheeshambada waste management and recycling plant, Joshi said that the corporation has issued notice to Ramky Company on Monday and has given the time of 10 days to improve the situation in the plant.
Talking about the allegations that some officials of the corporation are neglecting the misconduct of the company, Joshi refuted the accusation stating that the corporation is working efficiently and no official is supporting the mismanagement of the plant by the company.
