Mass cleaning drive begins
The Corporation administration on Friday launched an ambitious project named ‘Aggressive Maintenance and Mass Cleaning at All Wards’ in an attempt to provide a hygienic and clean living environment to the people.
Official sources said apart from taking out cleaning works, the officials would be receiving petitions from the residents of the respective wards so that grievances pertaining to lack of basic amenities could be redressed expeditiously.
Some of the major problems that were confronting the people in general had been the lapses in the implementation of solid waste management programme, inadequacy in the distribution of drinking water and clogged drains.
Under the project, a team of officials would be visiting wards by rotation and take up works like garbage removal, bush clearing and drainage cleaning.
Once the entire 60 wards were covered, the officials would get back from Ward 1 again so as to ensure smooth continuation of the scheme.
Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment M.SM. Anandan inaugurated the implementation of the project in the presence of Mayor A. Visalakshi, Deputy Mayor S. Gunasekaran and councillors of various wards, at a function held in Ward 1.
