There is a tradition of picking up the garbage of the city twice and GPS systems were installed in all vehicles. He also said that JMC does not have this much resources right now, but an effort will be made to bring transparency in what we have and all councilors agreed that they have to work above party politics to make Jammu a beautiful city.
Billawaria said that the experience of the councilors of Indore will also help in grooming the city of Jammu. “We saw Indore STP, which is probably not with any city of Jammu and Kashmir”. Billawaria said “One more thing we came to know from Indore Corporation that councilors are able to work only when the common urban citizens considers it as their city; otherwise it was not easy to decorate the city”, he added.
He said the people of Indore considered the city to be their own and today the city is clean, green and is also number one whereas we too have to adopt the same mechanism like Indore, so that the city can be improved. Billawaria said that everything which we learned from there will be implemented in JMC and people’s support will also be mobilized for this. The councilors will not be left behind to rise above party politics and do whatever will be done for the betterment of the city.
He said a serious rethinking has now started now among the councilors of JMC who wanted to make Jammu green, clean and beautiful like Indore.
