A medical camp was organized by the MC for sanitation workers. School children also participated in the cleanliness of the Heritage Street.
Amritsar Mayor Karamjit Singh Rintu and Municipal Corporation (MC) Commissioner Komal Mittal began a cleanliness drive from the Golden Temple and Heritage Street on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi yesterday.
A medical camp was organized by the MC for sanitation workers. School children also participated in the cleanliness of the Heritage Street.
Rintu said it was essential to keep the city neat and clean. He made five announcements and said every citizen should take part in the cleanliness drive.
He stated that “Sanitation workers have been deployed near Heritage Street, but people do not use dustbins and throw garbage in the open. If people use bins, there will be no litter on roads. Bins are lying empty and garbage is scattered outside.”
Mayor told officials that no negligence would be tolerated. “Now, the cleanliness drive has started. I can check any part of the city. If any negligence is found then it will not be tolerated.” he added.
The Mayor stated that the ranking of the city in cleanliness survey is in the hands of residents. “If there is no lifting of garbage or cleaning, then complain about it, but do keep your surroundings clean,” he added.
Mittal stated various competitions would be organized by the MC to create awareness among the masses regarding cleanliness. It is the responsibility of everyone to keep the city clean, he stated.
As many as 20 ‘Swachhta Champions’ will be selected.
Any person can participate in this competition to become ‘Swachhta Champion’. One has to submit details of the work done by him/her related to cleanliness. The required information is available on the website. In this event, 10 men and 10 women will be selected.
