The KMC officials have marked as many as 112 big dumping areas and 258 small dumpsters.

The GVPs which have been identified in the city are being beautified and converted into selfie points. For this, KMC is cleaning the spaces and furnishing them by drawing murals on the nearby walls, planting trees/placing flower pots and adding benches for senior citizens. Some of the spaces will also be put to public use as KMC will allot them to small-scale vendors.
The district authorities have also started working on the beautification of such points in all 6 wards of the city. With this, 4 GVPs in Kanpur have already been beautified and developed as selfie points.
