Responding to the query of the media, Mayor stated, that the absence of manpower has resulted in frequent complaints about the irregularity of garbage trucks in various wards. However, Phassang reassured the public that the problems would be resolved within a few weeks. The necessary formalities have already been completed to procure the required vehicles and enhance manpower to ensure proper garbage collection.

The Mayor further emphasized the importance of maintaining the cleanliness of the city and urged the corporators and denizens of IMC jurisdiction to work together towards this goal.
