Residents Express Satisfaction with Water Supply
During his visit to Lakholi Janata Colony and Baiga Para, Commissioner Markam spoke directly with local residents regarding water supply and cleanliness.

Reviews PMAY Housing Project
Markam inspected completed and under-construction houses built under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) at Lakholi and reviewed the allotment process.
Executive Engineer Deepak Khande informed him that allotments are made strictly through the prescribed government procedure. He added that notices had been issued to unauthorized occupants, while eligible beneficiaries who had deposited the required amount would receive formal allotments as per norms.
Auditorium Renovation to be Completed Quickly
The Municipal Commissioner also visited the city auditorium to review the ongoing renovation work.
He directed officials to complete the remaining repair work at the earliest and instructed them to clean the premises by removing overgrown grass and thorny vegetation to improve the overall appearance and safety of the facility.
Faster Waste Processing at Nawagaon Trenching Ground
At the Nawagaon Trenching Ground, Commissioner Markam reviewed the city’s solid waste management system and inspected various stages of waste processing.
He instructed officials to ensure that all machinery remains operational and emphasized source-level waste segregation at households in addition to segregation at SLRM (Solid Liquid Resource Management) Centres.
