Trichy may bag 5-star for garbage-free cities

While Swachh Survekshan focuses on initiatives taken and the developments being achieved, star rating would emphasise on the cleanliness outcome. If Swachh Survekshan ranks cities based on cleanliness parameters, the proposed star rating model will classify them on a scale of 1 star to 7 star excluding 6. “With door-to-door waste collection, source segregation and sweeping of public places in place, Trichy for sure can fetch 5-star rating.

With as many as 12 key components in the rating methodology, the participating cities can bag one of the six stars. Trichy: Shrugging off disappointment at its failure to retain its ranking or figure among the top 10 in the recently-concluded Swachh Survekshan 2018, Trichy Corporation has been gearing up for yet another pan-India rating.
