2. During the special cleaning drive, Ranchi Municipal Corporation will try to keep that area a zero garbage area and during this programme the major problems, which the Corporation faces are as follows:

1. The time duration of this programme as compared to the area and population of the city is less.

2. The labourers are also not easily available because of the rainy season and cultivation.

3. The unavailability of modern machines for cleaning the culverts and covered drains, Government has been requested to provide fund for better cleanliness.

4. Lack of awareness for cleaning in common people.

5. At present N.G.O. are helping Corporation in cleanliness 10 Wards of town against hefty payment. The Corporation is no longer in position to bear the burden of payment of N.G.O. and requests the Government to provide grant for payment of N.G.Os. If the Government is satisfied with the work of N.G.Os. then it may consider increasing the funding so that newer N.G.Os. may be assigned job of cleanliness and beautification.

3. These are the details of difficulties, which the Corporation has to face during this special drive.
