During the lunch, he interacted with the sanitary staff and inquired about their everyday life. “The sanitary staff dedicate their mornings to keep their respective areas clean and hygienic. They deserve great respect. I have dedicated a day for them as a mark of respect for their service,” he said.
Mr. Venu Gopala Krishna appealed to the public to segregate the waste generated at home to extend support to the sanitary staff by minimizing their hassle. “The sanitary staff play a pivotal role in maintaining public health conditions, particularly during the breakdown of waterborne diseases. Their working conditions are always challenging compared to any public servant on the ground,” he emphasised.
The Minister appreciated the sanitary staff for extending their support to ‘Swatchatha’, an initiative in which they are being assigned to 73 villages for a two-day ‘clean and green’ drive in the Ramachandrapuram assembly segment.
