Drive to clean drains
Hubli-Dharwad West MLA Arvind Bellad has roped in
councillors in his Assembly constituency to launch a drive to clean
drains ahead of the onset of monsoon.
The
councillors, in association with the officials of Hubli-Dharwad
Municipal Corporation, students and members of voluntary organisations
will launch the drive from 7 a.m. on Saturday, a press release said.
Tough time
Mr.
Bellad said people in low-lying areas had a tough time in the last
three days as water gushed into their locality after heavy rain. “If the
garbage is removed from drain, the water flow would be smooth,” Mr.
Bellad said.
He said fogging would be taken up after removing garbage from drains.
