Under the guidance of the municipal commissioner G Sreekanth, the solid waste management (SWM) section has prepared a road map of events, programmes, and functions to be conducted during the implementation of the mega cleanliness drive from August 1 to 15.
Elaborating on the road map, the deputy commissioner (SWM) Ravindra Jogdand
Said that under the mega cleanliness drive titled - Ek Taas Shramdan; Maha Swachhata Abhiyan - the students from schools and colleges and citizens are appealed to participate and contribute their bit in whichever capacity they can to keep the city Clean, Green, and Beautiful.
“We are also utilising technology to achieve our target. Presently, 22,000 citizens have downloaded the Majha Swachhata Sathi app. Our target is to encourage citizens to download 50,000 app. We have appointed civic authority as Swachhata Dhoot in every ward to ensure the ward is clean and there is no spread of garbage waste in open places,” said Jogdand.
