Civic bodies to embark on cleanliness campaign from September 6

September 01, 2014 09:25 am | Updated 09:25 am IST - NEW DELHI:

Starting September 6, for a fortnight, the civic bodies will carry out a cleanliness campaign targeting the nooks and corners of the Capital.

Named ‘No Man’s Land and Back Lane Cleaning Fortnight’, the campaign will ensure that unoccupied plots and vacant areas around rail tracks and flyovers, often used to dump garbage, are kept clean.

Delhi BJP Chief Satish Upadhyay on Sunday said the drive would precede the ‘Sanitation and Heath Drive’ that would kick off on September 25 and special emphasis would be laid on sanitation at unauthorised and resettlement colonies.

Responsibilities of both municipal officials and leaders would be fixed and surprise checks would be conducted by leaders of the civic bodies, he added.
