Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, on Friday, ordered action against those who are lax about the cleanliness in Mumbai. In his direction to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation chief Iqbal Chahal, CM Shinde said not just major roads but all alleyways across the city should be well maintained. According to a statement from the Chief Minister’s Office, CM Shinde said, “No laxity will be tolerated in terms of cleanliness across the city. The matter should be taken seriously by the sanitation department of the BMC.”

CM Shinde, while returning from an event held at Mazgaon dock, had spotted that roads in the area were in poor condition and unsanitary as the waste, clutter and debris were lying in the open. Having witnessed this site, he phoned the BMC chief and administrator Chahal and ordered him to clean every nook and corner across the city, the statement read.
