The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has said it would lift debris from across Mumbai within 48 hours of getting the request via call. The civic body had recently launched a ‘debris on call’ service with a toll-free number—1800-210-9976—on which citizens can place a request for removal of debris.

An official said that while services are free for the removal of 500 kg of debris, the BMC will further charge Rs 10 per 50 kg. Since November, the BMC has received 220 such calls and has lifted 54 metric tonnes of debris.
