Every morning from around 6.30 to 10.30, he takes a city round to examine how well the work is going. He said in an interview

Important municipal services like cleaning and water supply begin early. For effective control over it, you have to be in the field in the morning. During the morning tour, I also monitor other projects like SMART city, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) mission, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and other construction activities on the field.”

Machines have been installed by them to separate dry waste and wet waste. Polythenes and plastic waste have been used in road construction and further use of it has been completely banned. They have also started two schemes ‘Bartan Bhandar’ and ‘Jhola Yojna.’ Bartan Bhandars rent utensils for free to the people for functions or parties and stop using disposable cutlery. Whereas, Jhola scheme is to encourage people to use Khadi bags rather than poly bags.
