Mumbai: Not clean-up marshals but swachhata doot, says BMC

Report on civic body’s plan to bring back criticised clean-up marshals prompts BMC chief to review decision

The BMC on Friday announced that it has put its plans to appoint clean-up marshals on the backburner. Instead, the civic body is planning to appoint 5,000 swachhata doots to raise awareness among Mumbaikars first. This came after mid-day on December 16 reported that the civic body was considering bringing back clean-up marshals, who have been heavily criticised by the citizens for alleged extortion. Swachhata doots will not have power to penalise people for littering or spitting.
