Flag a public spot around Orchha's temples and ghats that needs cleaning, see where others have, and the number to call to get it done.
Town Tools builds free, public tools for Orchha and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Litter among the temples, ghats and monuments is the eyesore residents name most — and with Orchha under a UNESCO World Heritage nomination, a clean town matters more than ever. Use this board to flag a public spot that needs cleaning, and to see where neighbours and visitors have already flagged one. Anyone can look; flagging a spot takes a free account, which keeps it honest.
This is a neighbourly log, not a complaint to the town. To actually get a spot cleaned, use the official line below — calling the MP CM Helpline on 181, in Hindi, is the easiest route for most people.

How this works
Call 181 to log a complaint by phone, in Hindi (about 7:30 am to 11 pm). You get a tracking number, and it escalates if nothing is done. You can also report a spot with a photo on the Swachhata app, or in writing on MP e-Nagar Palika. The local body responsible is Nagar Panchayat Orchha.
Orchha's chhatris, fort and temples are under a UNESCO World Heritage nomination, so litter among the monuments is more than an eyesore — it is the thing a visitor's photos remember. This board helps neighbours point each other, and visitors, to the spots that need attention. It cannot send a cleaning crew: the fastest way to get a spot cleaned is still the 181 helpline or the Swachhata app above.
