The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has launched an extensive cleanup and beautification drive targeting 50 garbage hotspots across the city under the Swachh Bharat Mission. The announcement, made on October 23, 2025, is part of a renewed effort to tackle long-standing waste accumulation issues and improve the city’s overall sanitation standards. As per the plan, each of Nagpur’s ten administrative zones will identify and rehabilitate five critical dumping sites, transforming them into clean, landscaped, and permanently monitored public spaces. The NMC’s Health Department will coordinate with the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Cell, civic engineers, and zonal officers to ensure timely implementation. These identified garbage-prone areas — including hotspots in Lakadganj, Mangalwari, Dharampeth, and Nehru Nagar zones — will undergo phased redevelopment involving clearing waste piles, installing green fencing, adding lighting, and introducing community awareness boards to prevent future littering. The initiative also includes setting up permanent CCTV surveillance and waste segregation bins, aiming to create a sustainable waste-management model that discourages illegal dumping. Municipal Commissioner Abhijit Chaudhari emphasized that the campaign aligns with Nagpur’s goal of improving its Swachh Survekshan 2025 ranking, while also addressing public health and environmental concerns. NMC officials have set a December 2025 completion target for the beautification works. Local residents and housing societies will be engaged through awareness drives to maintain cleanliness after redevelopment, ensuring the effort leads to long-term civic transformation. #NagpurMunicipalCorporation #SwachhBharatMission #NagpurCleanUpDrive #AbhijitChaudhari #SwachhSurvekshan2025 #NagpurDevelopment
