The city of Surat had a plague scare in 1994. Surat was one of the dirtiest cities in
India. Houses, hotels and restaurants would dump their garbage into the nearest
drain or street which made it very difficult for sweepers to collect and transfer the
garbage into selected dumps. In addition to this, the Municipal Corporation did not
collect the garbage as often as it should have and this led to the situation getting
worse. Plague spreads through the air and people who have the disease have to be
isolated. In Surat, several people lost their lives, and over 300,000 deserted the city.
The scare of the plague ensured that the Municipal Corporation completely cleaned
up the city. Surat continues to remain one of the cleanest cities in India.
