Indore becomes country's first 'Water Plus' city
Few years back Mysore used to be the clean City but of late it has lost it’s position to Indore, which they have maintained.
Indore, the country's cleanest city has been declared the first "Water Plus" city of India under the Swachh Survekshan 2021, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said.
Indore City received the certification from the centre on Wednesday.
It is given for maintaining cleanliness in rivers and drains.
"According to the criteria, dirty water should not go into any river or drain. Also, 30 per cent of the city's sewer water has to be recycled and reused. Public toilets must be connected to sewer lines and must be cleaned," said Indore Municipal Corporation Commissioner Pratibha Pal.
The municipal corporate commissioner said that about 7000 public and domestic sewer outfalls in the city were stopped, the city's rivers were freed from the sewer lines.
"As far as 30 per cent recycled water from the sewer is concerned, it was re-used by people at construction sites and in their gardens," added Pal on the usage of recycled sewer water.
@Mysore come on do something to gain back the position.
