Chandigarh, June 8 (WISHAVWARTA);-In a first-of-its-kind move to fix urban sanitation, Punjab Local Government Minister S. Harjot Singh Bains on Monday launched ‘Mission Clean Punjab’, a technology-driven drive that will put all civic officials, from top to bottom, on the ground daily from 7 AM to 8 AM.
Unveiling the ambitious ‘Mission Clean Punjab’ at the department’s headquarters here on Monday, S. Bains reviewed the drive’s first day through video call with field officials. He shared that the initiative will be powered by an AI-integrated mobile application, surprise checks and weekly progress reports on cleanliness.
Under the initiative, S. Bains said, every urban local body will be split into 10-km zones, each headed by a supervisory officer- ADCs, MC Commissioners, Joint Commissioners, EOs. All officers will conduct mandatory field visits daily from 7 AM to 8 AM. The Local Government Minister will also carry out surprise checks across Punjab. Supervisory officers will send daily reports. Nothing will be left to chance.
This is not a one-time big-size event. This is a daily war on dirt. Starting Today, 7 AM onwards, every officer will be on the field. No excuses. All officers must carry a smartphone with a working camera and internet connectivity, ordered S. Harjot Singh Bains, while stating, “The Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann will monitor the drive. Any officer can get a call from the Chief Minister or me at any time. Today I am at head office; tomorrow I could be in Mohali, Amritsar, Bathinda, Fazilka or Jaito.”
The Local Government Minister further revealed that an AI-powered app will track real time progress. The Officers will remain available on video calls and surprise random checks can be conducted anywhere without prior notice. He made it clear that the drive aims for visible, documented results.
From sanitation staff to MC commissioners, everyone will be on streets and lanes so people can see the impact on the ground, If it’s still not visible, tell us directly. This cleanliness drive is being executed on the Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann’s directions to ensure every city and town in Punjab looks clean, he emphasised.
