Clean marshals of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will be active in the next 7 to 10 days. The civic body is finalising the digital mode payment system and police verification of marshals. The BMC discontinued the marshal services in 2022 after their contract ended amidst extortion allegations. But BMC officials feel there is a need for marshals to keep tabs on people who do not follow regulations.

“People do not follow the cleanliness guideline of BMC, we need to keep a tab on them to keep the city clean,” said a BMC official.  Chief Engineer of the Solid Waste Management Department P K Tayshete confirmed that the appointment of the clean-up marshals is in the final stage and will be active soon.
