Civic body to rope in residents to clean up parks

 With a majority of colony parks in the city being in a pathetic condition, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has hit upon an idea to rope in the residents themselves to clean them up.

 There are nearly 900 such parks in GHMC limits.

The civic body has invited expression of interest for participation of resident and colony welfare associations for improvement and maintenance of parks in their respective colonies.

 Speaking to City Express, GHMC officials said the performance of the resident and colony welfare associations will be evaluated by an evaluation agency.

 The first, second and third best colonies will be selected in each zone after assessing their performance between October 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013.

 The top three will be rewarded with development works amounting to `15 lakh, `10 lakh and `5 lakh respectively.

 The welfare associations can obtain applications from the GHMC and apply to the Additional Commissioner (Health and Sanitation) by August 31 or mail to ac_ health@ghmc.

 The finalization of evaluation criteria will be completed before September 10 and identification of eligible EOIs on September 15.

 The evaluation of colonies will be based on door-to-door garbage collection (15 marks), cleanliness of roads, lanes, by-lanes and open spaces (10 marks), maintenance of greenery and cleanliness in park and litter bins at all commercial establishments among others.
