For the last six years, the Chief Officer and the municipal workers have been beating the drums in front of the houses in each ward. The recovery was done by playing the drums and shouting slogans outside the homes of defaulters. Three years ago, a banner with the names of the arrears was put up in the main Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk of Bhagur.
