CITIZENS’ ASSOCIATION [REGD]
Sector 21, Chandigarh
Dated:29.06.2009
Subject: GARBAGE COLLECTION SCHEME.
As intimated through earlier circulars, your association had to strive hard to manage the door to door garbage collection scheme effectively against all odds created by some vested interests by instigating the Safai workers to grab the scheme from the association.
In order to save the residents from exploitation by the Safai Karamcharies for charging double/triple rates, besides providing irregular service, your association had to engage Tractor Trolley service, which has proved costly affair and also led to some complaints of late collection of garbage.
As the things have settled down, the executive committee of the association in its meeting held on 19.06.2009 decided that it should revert to old system of collecting the garbage through ‘Rehris’ to economies on the increased expenses of Tractor Trolley service. Interalia, following facts were considered in detail:
1. Existing garbage collection charges were fixed six years back.
2. The expenses on salary of Safai workers, price of new rehris & its repair & maintenance have increased manifold.
3. Expenses on printing of receipt books, registers, publication & distribution of circulars & other petty items have also become costlier over the period of time.
4. To ensure the regular & efficient service from the Safai workers, their salaries are required to be increased keeping in the view the price index.
5. No annual subscription is charged from the members of the association after making one time payment of Rs. 300/- for enrolment as life member.
In view of the above & many other factors , it has become necessary to revise the existing rates. The executive committee after careful consideration has decided to revise the existing garbage collection charges as under:-
