Kamarhati Municipality e - Newsletter From Chairman Desk:-
News is a good fascia to reach common people. After a long gap it is the right time to share innovative work with our citizen. Our goal is to make the town pollution free by developing open space & road beautification. Maximum vacant lands are improved by open green space like children parks, landscaping etc. as per our vision. There are innumerable benefits of open spaces. Most significantly it is used by children and senior citizens. The effect of open green space is to reduce unhealthy carbon di- oxide by plantation of trees. The presence of trees and dense greenery can reduce temperature for atmosphere and help to control heat growth that has become issue of current urban settlements as mentioned in the guide line of the department of environment, Govt. of India.

Swachh Bharat And Nirmal Bangla Mission
It has been started since 2016-2017 financial years, after the Kamarhati municipality successfully had contributed towards the declaration of open defecation free (ODF) district of north 24 parganas, the municipality is keeping a strict vigil to ensure that the toilets built are being used by the beneficiaries. Although it is a fact that several beneficiaries had to cancel their allocation of the latrine due to inadequate area. Keeping in view of this scenario the municipality has started community latrine especially for the EWS and slum dwellers, where sufficient space is not available for the individual latrine model. It is to be noted that we have more demand.

This is a mission project which is entirely funded by the state government itself with the aim of increasing greening of city and as well to restore the water bodies of city along with their beautification. This project will also address the issue of “Safe Drive Save life” by constructing footpath along selected busy roads thus segregating pedestrians from vehicular traffic and hence reducing conflicts and accidents while making for more space for the vehicles to play through smoothly and relieve from congestion.
Another interesting component of this project is Wi-Fi free Zone across the entire municipality. The selected seven zones were granted as a important zone for Wi-Fi installation. This would be part of the state government ambition for encouraging e-governance activities and as well increasing penetration of digital literacy too, among the citizen of the town.
