Ex-CS panel recommends increasing health inspectors, supervisors to improve Bengaluru sanitation

A committee headed by former chief secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar has proposed strengthening Bengaluru's sanitation workforce. The panel recommends increasing junior health inspectors (JHIs) from 115 to 369 and pourakarmika supervisors from 198 to 523 across the city’s five corporations. The interim report also suggests deploying mechanical and electric sweeping machines and high-pressure suction machines for better sanitation.
