Newly appointed Collector Jitendra Yadav conducted an early morning inspection of the city’s central areas on Tuesday, assessing cleanliness and sanitation conditions. During his visit, he instructed municipal officials to prioritize maintaining hygiene and ensure comprehensive cleaning across Rajnandgaon, especially in view of the upcoming Diwali festival.
Accompanied by Municipal Commissioner Atul Vishwakarma, the Collector directed that special attention be paid to daily drain and street cleaning, particularly in crowded market zones. “During the festive season, footfall in the markets increases significantly. Hence, cleanliness drives should start early in the morning,” he emphasized.
Yadav also directed officials to educate residents against littering and to take strict action against those dumping debris or garbage on streets. He urged citizens to refrain from using banned plastic and to actively support the city’s Swachhata mission.

During his inspection of the Education Hub area, the Collector reviewed the cleanliness of nearby hostels and drainage systems. He instructed the sanitation staff to maintain regular cleaning and to ensure 100% collection of user charges from all households. The Swachhata Didis were told to motivate residents to segregate wet and dry waste at the source.
Later, Yadav visited Ranisagar and Budhasagar lakes, directing officials to clear debris from the banks and prepare a beautification plan for the area. He also advised residents feeding stray cattle to use containers and to clean the surroundings afterward.
Reiterating his commitment to cleanliness, Collector Yadav urged all departments to ensure daily monitoring of sanitation works, adding that maintaining a clean and healthy environment must remain a top civic priority.
