Demonetisation Windfall: How municipalities should utilize the revenue boost effectively per citizens
1. Municipality should build more water tanks to ensure water supply
2. Water pipelines should be laid in areas where it still does not exist
3. Garbage collection mechanism should be improved
4. Cleaning of roads with brooms should be stopped as it spreads dust in the atmosphere and vacuum based machines should be bought to do the job
5. Segregation of waste should be improved and differently coloured dustbins should be installed around the cities
6. Some money could also be spent on educating people about segregating waste at source
7. Maintenance work of changing old and rusted pipelines should be done so that system is geared up for the peak demand months
8. All major roads in the cities should be repaired
9. The drainage system should be improved and all the open drains should be covered
10. Pre-fabricated mobile toilets should be bought and installed in all major market places and bus stands
11. The existing public toilets should be repaired and improved
12. All property records should be digitised
13. More primary and secondary schools should be opened in urban/semi-urban villages
14. Safety gear and latest cleaning equipment should be purchased for municipal workers
15. Every municipality must appoint a dedicated citizen engagement or social media person with authority to work with citizens
16. Every municipality should get IT equipped and track citizen complaints electronically and update complaint status over the internet in real time. more
