Mumbai: With the monsoon season approaching, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has intensified desilting and road cleaning work across the city. During an on-site inspection held today, Additional
Municipal Commissioner (Western Suburbs) Dr Vipin Sharma directed officials to ensure that all drain cleaning work is completed by May 31, 2026.
Inspection of Major Drains in Western Suburbs
The inspection covered several key drainage points, including the Kurar Drain, Saptarshi Drain, and Shivaji Chowk Drain in Malad (East), as well as Piramal Drain and the Oshiwara River in Malad (West). In addition to these, work at Ramchandra Drain and cleaning operations near Pavanhans, Airport Drain, and Juhu Tara Road were also reviewed by the Sharma.
Strict Instructions on Waste Removal and Coordination
During the visit, Sharma instructed officials to immediately remove floating waste and accumulated silt from all drains. He stressed that the timely completion of desilting work before the May 31 deadline is essential to avoid monsoon-related flooding issues. In addition to this, he also directed civic staff to maintain regular coordination with local representatives and keep them updated on progress.
Early Start for Road Cleaning Operations
Moreover, he also instructed municipal officers that daily road and lane cleaning should begin earlier in the morning. Instead of the current 7.30 am start, he recommended beginning operations by 6.30 am so that roads remain clean before peak morning traffic.
Apart from this, earlier in the day, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation Commissioner Ashwini Bhide also carried out an early morning surprise inspection in the Wadala and Chembur areas. Bhide visited solid waste management checkpoints near Wadala (West) railway station and key locations in Chembur, focusing on ground-level implementation of cleanliness measures.
