Mumbaikars who are unhappy with the arrogance of clean-up marshals will now get respite as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to blacklist the clean-up marshals contractors. These very marshals have been reported of looting people, not issuing receipts for fine, abuse and assaulting citizens. The BMC will blacklist contractors if their clean-up marshals receive more than three complaints against them.

In previous cases, the BMC was not able to take action against clean-up marshals despite complaints as there were no set rules. However, when the number of complaints started increasing, the BMC decided to bring in new rules in order to take action against the clean-up marshal contractors, informed Vishwas Shankarwar, Deputy Municipal Commissioner from the Solid Waste Management (SWM) department.
He added that clean-up marshal contractors will be blacklisted if more than three complaints are received against them. Apart from this, if the area designated for clean-up marshals are found littered, then marshals will face action.

In 2016, clean up marshals were appointed to look after 22 municipal wards of 24 wards. In 2017, they were given a contract for one year which completed in 2018, but now they have been given an extension of four months.
