Mayor discusses waste issue with district authorities
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ On March 28, Tuesday, Ulaanbaatar Mayor S.Batbold met with authorities of 9 districts of the capital city and representatives of urban refurbishment companies and homeowners’ associations to review activities and measures taken regarding solid waste and urban refurbishment in the districts.
Governors of each district reported to the Mayor on the ongoing activities and projects in their administrative units including public cleaning campaigns forged in Nalaikh, Khan-Uul and Sukhbaatar districts.
Following the reports, Mayor S.Batbold pointed out the slowness of the district authorities in solving the challenges faced by Ulaanbaatar residents, citing the solid waste issue as an example.
“Instead of dodging from responsibility with justifications like my territory and your waste, public organizations must have an attitude ‘my city, my district and my responsibility’ in dealing with solid waste management”, he said. The Mayor also instructed the governors to not avoid but face and solve the existing problems.
“The capital administration will enforce its Wasteless city – Responsible governance’ policy”, the Mayor reiterated. The Mayor also expressed that he will be making on-site inspections on districts’ waste disposal actions.
The next meeting between the Ulaanbaatar Mayor and district governors will focus on infrastructure development.
