Picnickers looking forward to outings at Dimna Lake this winter can heave a sigh of relief. They will not have to brave trash scattered here and there.

The picturesque spot, which had been choking on filth till Monday, is getting ready to sport a clean look with Tata Steel wholly owned subsidiary Jusco, which looks after its maintenance, deputing a six-member team for sprucing up the area from 9am till 4pm daily till the picnic season ends (first week of February).

The action comes after The Telegraph carried a report on Tuesday ( Garbage sullies picnic spot), highlighting how garbage and leftovers remained strewn across the banks of the artificial on Dimna foothills around 13km from Jamshedpur and absence of toilets were causing discomfort to women visitors.

Earlier, only three-four cleaners were deputed for Dimna Lake, but they never carried out their job regularly that led to accumulation of waste.

"The six personnel from our public health unit, which looks after Dimna Resort, and water management division will be doing rounds of Dimna Lake area from 9am till 4pm along with van rickshaws to collect garbage. At the end of the day, our vehicles will take the garbage for disposal at our landfill site in the city," said Jusco spokesperson Rajesh Rajan.

He also promised to install dustbins.

"The bins will be placed at different points frequented by picnickers. We just hope that people don't damage them at least till the picnic season is over. The dustbins will be set up in two-days," Rajan said.

Jusco had kept four bamboo made dustbins at Dimna, but those got stolen.

Among other initiatives, adequate number of portable toilets for men and women will be set up.

"We will install portable toilets in keeping with the crowd count. It will take around a week," he added.

At present, visitors have to depend on the sole toilet near Dimna guest house over 2.5km away from the picnic spot. As a result, women and elderly visitors face a lot of convenience.

According to a rough estimate, Dimna Lake, known for its sheer beauty, draws a daily footfall of over 7,000 from the city, neighbouring districts of Seraikela-Kharsawan, West Singhbhum and Ranchi besides from states like Odisha and Bengal during peak picnic season.
