MLA kickstarts special cleanliness drive from Shivpuri

Amid cleanliness drives being organised across the city, Ludhiana North MLA Madan Lal Bagga and Municipal Corporation (MC) Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal launched a special cleanliness drive from the Shivpuri area (New Ward No. 86 and Old Ward No. 88) here on Wednesday.

MLA Bagga and Dachalwal urged residents to support the civic body in keeping the city clean. Corporation Sanitation Officer (CSO) Ashwani Sahota along with other officials participated in the cleanliness drive.

Dachalwal directed civic body officials to regularly check the attendance of Safai Karamcharis and ensure regular lifting of waste. He said cleanliness drives were being organised across the city and no laxity would be tolerated in this regard.

Bagga and Dachalwal also appealed to residents to hand over segregated dry and wet household waste to garbage collectors. They said the civic body was working to improve solid waste management in the city, but this goal cannot be achieved without residents’ support. Residents were also asked to stop dumping waste in open spaces and on vacant plots.
