Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) claims it has cleaned 97.53% of the Nag River. But the reality is far from this boast. Under the Dhantoli under-bridge, the river remains clogged with water hyacinth and heaps of garbage—exposing the cleanup as a mere paper exercise.
Despite spending 3.20 crore since February and promising to clean the entire 16.58 km river stretch, the NMC has failed miserably. Plastic, sludge, and waste continue to block many parts of the river, risking flooding and environmental damage while exposing the administration’s neglect.
Commissioner Dr. Abhijeet Chaudhari ordered rapid action and deployment of additional machinery if required. Yet, officials, including Chief Engineer Manoj Talewar, have blatantly ignored these directives. The cleanup looks like a cosmetic exercise to hide years of apathy. Instead of meaningful work, officials focus on manipulating data and producing fake progress reports.
Over five months into the campaign, the river is nowhere near clean. The inflated claim of “97.53% cleaned” is an insult to residents who see garbage and weeds every day. This is a disgraceful example of civic authorities prioritizing false PR over real action.
Nagpur deserves genuine accountability and immediate, honest efforts—not empty promises and staged photo ops.
