Utility and Services in Morbi

Morbi has gained the status of a district headquarters only recently. In spite of that, utility and services offered to the resident of the city are at par with services enjoyed by the residents of any other city. This article tries to provide some important information about different services offered by different agencies. Since most of the civic amenities are controlled by the municipality, we will start with services offered by them.

Municipal services offered by the Nagar Palika in Morbi

Civic amenities enjoyed by the residents are mainly offered by its Municipal Corporation or Nagar Palika of Morbi. Among its many functions, taking care of the health and hygiene is one of the important duties. That is why the Nagar Palika is much concerned about the sanitation and supply of clean drinking water in the city.

Sanitation in Morbi

Although the Government of Gujarat has a separate department to take care of the sanitation of different cities and towns, the Nagar Palika in Morbi has also taken up adequate measure to dispose both solid and liquid waste generated by the domestic as well as industrial units under its jurisdiction. In 2013, a proposal to set up a helpline was forwarded by the authorities so that citizens can complain directly in case of accumulation of garbage in any part of the city. However, such help lines are yet to be set up. One can however visit their website and lodge complains in case the services fail to meet their expectation.

Supply of drinking water in Morbi

To solve water scarcity, the Government of Gujarat has set up water supply grids all over the state. Morbi Municipality is working in tandem with the state government to supply clean drinking water to the residents of the town.

Water supplied to the town mainly comes from two main sources. Among them, the Machchu Dam 2 is the prime source while Paneri Lake forms the secondary source. The water from Machchu Dam is treated at Green Water treatment Plant while water from Paneri Lake is treated at Sobhesbhara water treatment plant. About 80% of the city has already been covered by this project. The Nagar Palika is trying to provide clean drinking water to the rest of the area as soon as possible.

Registration of births and deaths

Registration of births and deaths is another important duty of the Nagar Palika. Every child born within its jurisdiction has to be registered with the civic body. The certificate provided by the civic body is a valid document accepted all over India.

For any information or complain, you can call Morbi Municipal Corporation at 02822-230-050 and 02822-220-551
