Reports stated that Municipal Commissioner Ashwini Bhide carried out a surprise inspection at a solid waste facility in Bandra West recently to review sanitation efforts.  The BMC boss checked staff attendance and registers and directed officials to ensure better cleanliness, waste handling, and coordination.

Reports said Bhide interacted directly with sanitation workers to assess on-ground workforce deployment. Officials have been directed to prioritise hygiene and cleanliness and given instructions for effective road sweeping, proper waste handling, and regular sanitation of public spaces such as bus stops and surrounding areas.
