The stage is set for the implementation of a multi-focal action plan envisaging a cleaning programme and cleanliness awareness campaign in Khammam municipal corporation limits from July 26.
A Sramadanam programme encompassing garbage clearance will be conducted in the town on Saturday, marking the launch of a special drive to promote systematic disposal of waste and improve greenery in Khammam, according to official sources.
The uni-focal plan also contains specific measures to ensure the effective implementation of norms governing the disposal of waste and imposition of fines for violation of the rules in force.
The new initiative is aimed at transforming Khammam into a clean and green city with an inter-departmental approach by involving all sections including students, NCC and NSS volunteers.
The action plan was approved at a meeting held here on Thursday. Collector I. Srinivas Sri Naresh, Superintendent of Police A.V. Ranganath, Joint Collector K. Surendra Mohan, 11 Andhra NCC Battalion Commanding Officer A.N. Mutalik, and others were present.
