User charges for waste collection in all the zones of JMC-G likely
The Jaipur Municipal Corporation Greater (JMC-G) is planning to expand the collection of user charges for door-to-door waste collection in all its zones after a positive response from two zones. User charges range from Rs 20-150 for residential houses and Rs 250-5,000 for commercial establishments. The process will be streamlined using radio-frequency identification (RFID) cards and an app-based monitoring system. This has resulted in a significant reduction in complaints. The revenue generated from each zone will be used for development in that area. The JMC is also finalizing plans to issue green bonds for a sewage treatment plant.
