Mist Machines & SafaiMitras: Indore's Eco-Diwali
4 Nov
Summary
- Mist machines deployed on major roads to control air pollution.
- Sanitation workers directed for full attendance during Diwali.
- Special cleanliness drive planned for the day after Diwali.
Indore Municipal Corporation has launched an extensive plan to ensure a clean and healthy Diwali celebration. Mist machines will be active on main roads, and mist towers at Regal Square and Khajrana Square will operate regularly to manage dust and particulate matter. All sanitation workers are mandated to attend their duties, with additional trips for waste collection vehicles to handle the expected surge in garbage.
A special cleanliness drive is organized for the day following Diwali, targeting major roads, markets, public spaces, and residential areas to swiftly restore the city's tidiness. The corporation is also using door-to-door collection vehicles to educate residents on waste segregation and responsible disposal, supported by NGOs for broader public engagement.
Further initiatives include a Diwali fair at Nehru Park on November 5th to promote local products and a 'Know Your SafaiMitra' module on the Indore 311 app to acknowledge sanitation workers' contributions. The 'Ye Diwali RRR Khushiyon Wali' campaign aims to reduce, reuse, and recycle usable items for needy families, promoting a spirit of giving.
Citizens are urged to celebrate responsibly, hand over waste only to designated vehicles, segregate waste, and support a clean, beautiful, and pollution-free Indore. The campaign emphasizes supporting local artisans and sharing Diwali joy with the less fortunate.
