Mr. Gaikwad said MMRDA was ready to give all help to Nirmal Abhiyan, but Municipal Councils and Corporations should have to provide the space, water and employment.
The survey work for the Nirmal MMR Abhiyan will start next week. The appropriate place will be decided, and work will begin in earnest, once the NGO is selected and peoples participation increases. At the meeting, Gaikwad took advise on the number of toilets and bathrooms needed in the MMR and assured all help. MMRDA will work on Water Resources and Solid Dispersal.
