Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The portal for taking citizen feedback on Swachh Survekshan (SS- 2024) is open but Bhopal Municipal Corporation is yet to launch any initiative to make people aware about the same. Thus the people are not coming up with their feedback on the cleanliness efforts and initiatives being undertaken by the civic body.
A central team had recently visited seeking the details from the BMC officials about the SS-24 parameters. Mayor-in-Council (MiC) R K Baghel informed the Free Press, “BMC has not started taking feedback so far. But it will do it. Recently, a team came and asked the officials about parameters. Another team is scheduled to visit soon.”
