Despite crores of rupees being spent annually on cleanliness, Bharatpur is struggling with massive heaps of garbage across neighborhoods. Even important VVIP areas, such as the route leading to the Chief Minister's residence, are severely affected by filth and poor waste management.
Door-to-door garbage collection vehicles do not visit colonies regularly, leaving waste to accumulate for days. An inspection of the Municipal Corporation's workshop revealed a severe shortage of working auto-tippers, many lying broken down, alongside a lack of adequate mechanics for repairs.
