Lucknow Municipal Corporation to pick up waste from Covid patients’ homes

LUCKNOW: Families which have Covid-19 patients can put their waste outside their house in a sealed bag to be collected by sanitary workers. Such families can also call helplines issued by the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) for sanitisation of their houses and the locality.
The helpline numbers are 6389300137, 6389300138, 6389300139). People can also ask for sanitization through the ‘Lucknow One’ app.
Municipal commissioner Ajay Dwivedi said, “We have deputed a team which monitors hotspot areas to meet the requirement of sanitization. Any Covid-19 patient who wants to conduct the sanitization process in his/her area can contact the control room number.”
The civic body has also directed Eco-green and other private agencies to even collect garbage from households having Covid patients. The workers have been asked to tell the patients to keep the garbage outside their units in a sealed bag which will be collected later and kept in a separate section in the cart.
