He said to support the drive, mechanical road sweepers, pressure jetting machines, battery-operated litter picker machines, garbage vehicles, and tippers/tempos with labor are being deployed by the Road Division.
Informing that the cleanliness drive started on Saturday and will continue until 3rd January, he said all participating departments have been instructed to submit their Action Taken Reports to the Public Health Department on each day.
