Led by Mayor V.V. Rajan Chellappa, councillors and officials took a pledge at the corporation office here on Monday to ensure cleanliness of the environment.

As part of the Chief Minister’s ‘Vision 2023’ programme, 2015 has been earmarked as a year to protect the environment by making available clean drinking water, proper sanitation facilities and effective garbage disposal.

Monthly meetings have been planned by the corporation with the participation of different departments and the public to check hygiene and cleanliness parameters across the city. The councillors took an oath to make judicious use of plastic materials and contribute towards recycling activities as well as work towards the general upkeep of their surroundings.
