 WE  CAN ACHIEVE  ALL THESE 

1. SAVE SURFACE WATER AS WELL AS SUB SOIL WATER FROM POLLUTION
2. REDUCING AIR POLLUTION
3. SAVING SOIL FROM EROSION AND POLLUTANTS
4. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
5. GREEN TECHNOLOGY
6. INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SMART CITY 

SAVING ALREADY EXISTING WATER BODIES

• SIDHWAN CANAL
• BUDDAH NALA

STOPPING/REDUCING SIDHWAN CANAL POLLUTION

 EDUCATING PEOPLE AND PANDITS 
 ENFORCING ALREADY ENACTED RULES                            AND REGULATIONS
 PEOPLES PARTICIPATION
 MAKING PROVISIONS FOR TANTAR                                    MANTAR DIEHARDS IN FORM OF SMAGIRI GHAT
 LAND SCAPING CANAL BANKS , BRIDGES                          AND  SURROUNDINGS   MAKING BANKS                            OTHER THAN GHAT AS NO MAN LAND
 REMOVE GARBAGE DUMPS FROM CANAL'S                      VICINITY

BUDDAH NALA POLLUTION

•PROJECT STUDY FOR ERADICATION OF THE BASIC CAUSES OF POLLUTION

•REDUCING THE SOURCES BY A RADICAL AND NEW APPROACH

•EDUCATE POLLUTION MAKERS ABOUT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

•ENFORCING STRICTLY EXISTING POLLUTION NORMS AS WELL EXPLORE POSSIBILITIES OF ENACTING NEW ONES SPECIALLY FOR BUDDA NALA

•REMOVING SOURCES OF POLLUTION FROM THE VICNITY AND BANKS OF THE NALA INCLUDING GARBAGE DUMPS

SAVING  PRECIOUS WATER

• ENFORCING WATER HARVESTING
• CREATING NEW HARVESTING NORMS
• REDESIGNING OLD WATER HARVESTING FOR EFFICIENCY AND BETTER FUNCTIONING
• ALL LINES AND PUMP HOUSES  NEED TO BE UPGRADED FOR EFFICIENCY AND ENERGY CONSERVATION

  TACKLING AIR POLLUTION

• USING INTERMITTENT WATER JET SPRAY  FROM A HEIGHT USING RAIN HARVESTED WATER TO BRING DOWN SOLID PARTICULATES ON CITY'S HEAVILY POLLUTED  ROADS
• REDUCING EMISSIONS BY EFFECTIVE VEHICLES CULLING
• CARPOOLING
• RESTRICTING HEAVY VEHICLES IN THE CITY
• SHIFTING BUS TERMINUS OUTSIDE THE CITY EVEN MAKING TWO OR FOUR TO REDUCE SIZE AS WELL AS  TRAVEL TIME AIR POLLUTION
• GREEN VEHICLES FOR INNER CITY MOVEMENT
• PLANTING GREEN CURTAIN ALONG SIX LANED ROADS EVEN AT THE COST OF  SHOPS ADVERTISEMENT

SOIL HEALTH :REDUCE EROSION AND  MAINTAIN QUALITY

•DESIGN EASY TO MAINTAIN GREEN BELTS ALONG THE ROADS
•MALBA/DEBRIS COLLECTION SITE IN  IN ALL AREAS OF THE CITY
• ERECTION OF RECYCLING  MALBA /DEBRIS PLANTS
•USE  OF CHIPPING AND MULCHING TO REDUCE GARBAGE LOAD OF  LAND SCAPING WASTE
•REDUCE SOURCES OF POLLUTION OF SOIL
•DESIGN GOOD SURFACE DRAINAGE FOR REDUCING EROSION

 EFFICIENT WATER HARVESTING

IMPROVING TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

• EFFICIENT TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DESIGNING TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT REDUCING VEHICLES IN THE INNER CITY AREAS
• NO ENTRY  FOR TRUCKS IN CERTAIN ZONES DURING DAY
• RIGHT WILL TURN RIGHT RULE AND DEVOTING SPACE ON ROAD FOR THAT.
• CREATING MORE BY-  PASSES TO REDUCE CONCENTRATION OF  VEHICLE IN THE CITY
• HAVING MORE NUMBER OF BUS TERMINUS'S 
• HAVING IMPROVED MASS TRANSPORT SYSTEM ON HEAVY TRAFFIC ROUTES.
• CONVERTING ALL THREE WHEELER TO ENERGY EFFICIENT VEHICLES
• ALSO HAVING FOUR WHEELER ELECTRIC BUSES
• LANES WHEREVER POSSIBLE FOR CYCLE USERS.
• IMPOSE NO VEHICLES NORMS IN HIGH CONGESTED AREA.
• RELOCATING STORES AND GODOWNS TO NEW AREAS TO AVOID TRAFFIC JAMS AND SNARLS

RE ENGINEERING OF ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION TO HAVE UNDERGROUND TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS PLASTIC CONTAINER ENCLOSED TRANSFORMERS TO REDUCE SPACE TAKEN ON ROADS

GREENING LUDHIANA

• BY  MAINTAINING/CREATING

•OLD PARKS AND GREEN BELTS

•NEW PARKS

•NEW SPORTS GROUNDS

•COMPULSORY MAINTENANCE OF PLOTS NOT BUILT BY OWNERS
