The Rajnandgaon Municipal Corporation is actively implementing a range of developmental and public service initiatives aimed at improving civic amenities and ensuring better living conditions for residents. Environmental conservation, sanitation management, drinking water supply, road infrastructure and public safety remain key priorities of the civic body.
Municipal officials are continuously monitoring ongoing projects and taking necessary action to ensure the effective delivery of public services across the city.
Special Measures to Protect Urban Greenery During Summer
In view of the rising temperatures during the summer season, the Municipal Corporation has intensified efforts to protect trees and plants planted along roadsides, beneath flyovers and on road dividers.
Regular watering is being carried out through water tankers to ensure the survival of greenery during extreme heat conditions. Maintenance activities are also being undertaken to prevent plants and trees from drying out and to preserve the city’s green cover.
Strengthening Sanitation and Cleanliness Efforts
To maintain a robust sanitation system, public representatives and municipal officials are conducting regular inspections across various wards.
In cases where negligence is detected or complaints are received regarding cleanliness services, notices are being issued to concerned contractors and appropriate action is being taken. The civic administration has reiterated its commitment to maintaining high standards of cleanliness throughout the city.
Drain Cleaning Drive Ahead of Monsoon
Keeping the upcoming monsoon season in mind, the Municipal Corporation has launched a comprehensive cleaning campaign covering major drains and residential colony drainage systems.
Most of the city’s major drains have already been cleaned during the first phase of the campaign, while work is continuing in the remaining areas. Daily removal of temporarily collected waste from the bus stand area is also being carried out to maintain sanitation standards.
In addition, roads and drainage systems surrounding government residential quarters in the Civil Lines area are being cleaned on a regular basis.
Improvements in Water Supply Infrastructure
The Municipal Corporation is working to further strengthen the city’s drinking water supply network.
A pipeline expansion project has been completed in the Sethi Nagar area. Simultaneously, the process of shifting household water connections from old pipelines to the newly laid network is underway to ensure adequate and uninterrupted drinking water supply to residents.
Road Development Works Under Review
Municipal authorities are regularly reviewing road resurfacing and asphalt-laying projects across the city.
Action has been taken against agencies where deficiencies in quality or delays in execution were identified. Following fresh tendering procedures, new work orders have been issued, and notices have been served to agencies failing to complete projects within stipulated timelines.
Action to Protect Public Property
The Municipal Corporation has also taken steps to safeguard public infrastructure and civic assets.
Following damage caused to the railing of the boundary wall at Rani Sagar by unidentified miscreants, an FIR has been lodged against unknown persons. Night patrolling in the area has also been intensified to prevent further incidents of vandalism.
Lakshman Jhula Temporarily Closed for Public Safety
The Lakshman Jhula constructed at the Rani Sagar Chowpatty has been temporarily closed for visitors after its ageing cable wires were found to be damaged.
Considering public safety, access to the structure has been restricted until repairs are completed. Municipal officials stated that the departmental process related to repair work has already been completed and restoration work will commence shortly.
Commitment to Better Urban Services
The Rajnandgaon Municipal Corporation continues to remain proactive in strengthening basic infrastructure, environmental conservation measures, sanitation services and public safety initiatives.
Through sustained monitoring and implementation of various civic projects, the Corporation aims to improve urban amenities and provide better services to residents while ensuring a cleaner, safer and more sustainable city.
