With the Centre rolling out Swachh Survekshan 2025–26, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Tuesday urged citizens to actively join in keeping the city clean and beautiful to improve and contribute in Mumbai’s performance in the national cleanliness rankings.
BMC's Additional Municipal Commissioner, Dr Ashwini Joshi, stated that the citizen participation will be key to achieving better rankings and directed major civic departments, including Solid Waste Management, Storm Water Drains, Sewerage Operations, the Mumbai Sewage Disposal Project and the Education Department, to ensure close inter-departmental coordination for effective implementation.
