Sanitary Inspector
Your morning begins with an inspection round of your municipal ward — checking that all community toilets are functional and clean, investigating a dengue fever cluster by conducting anti-larval operations in a stagnant water body, and issuing notices to two restaurants with blocked grease traps. Afternoons are spent at the municipal office submitting disease surveillance reports to the District Medical Officer, supervising a team of sanitation workers during a bulk garbage clearance drive, and attending a ward-level WASH committee meeting.
