Garbage collection PPPs should be on MCD website

CIC directs MCD to disclose PPP info under proactive disclosure

PTI | November 30, 2010



The Central Information Commission has directed the Municipal Commissioner to place in public domain details of all private public partnership agreements on garbage collection.

The case relates to RTI query of a Vasant Kunj resident who claimed that Residents' Welfare Associations have not been taken into confidence before finally implementing PPP system of garbage removal from the houses.

"Now the representatives of a private agency are approaching the RWAs to take over the possession of functional and non functional bins without producing any authorisation," Rakesh Gaur said in his plea.

Gaur through his RTI application had sought to know complete details of the scheme and a certified copy of the term and conditions of the said system but did not get any reply from the MCD.

He approached the Central Information Commission which directed the MCD to provide all the information on the issue.

"The Commission also directs the Municipal Commissioner to ensure that all PPP Agreements for collection of garbage must be displayed on the website of MCD before 20 December 2010. A compliance report should be sent to the Commission before 20 December 2010," Information Commissioner Shailesh Gandhi said.

Gandhi also directed the Municipal Commissioner to inform him about the measures taken to fulfil disclosure obligations under Section four related to mandatory proactive disclosure, including making information available on the official website of MCD.
