Panchkula’s clean dream takes shape with ₹18.7 crore sweeping tender

The municipal administration of Panchkula has announced a tender worth 18.7 crore rupees for sweeping services across the city. The bid invites qualified contractors to provide regular sweeping, waste collection and street maintenance for a period of five years. The contract will cover all major roads, residential areas and commercial zones, ensuring that streets remain free of litter and debris. The city council expects the new arrangement to reduce the burden on local residents and improve the overall appearance of Panchkula.

The initiative follows a national campaign that encourages municipalities to adopt cleaner streets. By investing 18.7 crore rupees, Panchkula aims to create a healthier environment for its residents and visitors. The project is expected to generate employment opportunities for local workers and support small businesses that provide cleaning equipment and supplies. Additionally, the municipal government plans to monitor the quality of service through regular inspections and public feedback mechanisms. Residents will be able to report issues via a dedicated hotline, ensuring that problems are addressed promptly and that the city maintains a high standard of cleanliness.

Officials have set a deadline of 30 days for contractors to submit their bids, after which the selection process will begin. Once a contractor is chosen, the city will sign a five‑year agreement that includes performance benchmarks and penalties for non‑compliance. The project is part of Panchkula’s broader plan to upgrade infrastructure and promote sustainable urban living. The initiative is expected to be fully operational by the end of the fiscal year, with periodic reviews to assess its impact on traffic flow and public health metrics. The municipal council hopes that a cleaner city will attract more visitors and encourage local businesses to invest in the area.
