Derabassi surpasses Mohali in waste management, cleanliness
According to the latest results released by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Derabassi scored a perfect 100% in five categories, while Mohali managed full marks in only four.
Derabassi emerged as the top performer in door-to-door garbage collection (100%) and source segregation (60%), the highest scores among all Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the district. In stark contrast, Mohali Municipal Corporation recorded the lowest scores in these two crucial areas—32% in garbage collection and 24% in segregation.
Derabassi MC president Asha Upneja attributed the success to a well-coordinated fleet of garbage collectors and sustained public awareness efforts. "Our teams actively encourage residents to segregate waste at the source. Door-to-door collection is carried out diligently, which helped us achieve 100% in Swachh Survekshan," she said.
In addition to its waste management success, Derabassi also scored 100% in the cleanliness of residential areas, market zones, and water bodies, reinforcing its commitment to holistic urban hygiene.
