Clean-up targets barricades, debris, paver blocks, dividers

The BMC has planned a cleanliness drive to spruce up the city, which is dotted by dirty barricades, unclaimed debris, broken paver blocks and damaged dividers. The civic body has launched a comprehensive cleanliness drive across all 24 administrative wards, which will begin today (December 14) 7 am and continue until Sunday at 6pm.

Due to the ongoing infrastructural development projects, the barricades have become an eyesore due to a lack of proper maintenance. They have been subjected to public neglect, with spitting and a considerable accumulation of dust and filth around them; contributing to the overall shabby appearance along the roads and causing hardships to pedestrians and commuters.
