Chandigarh: The Mayor Launches Cleanliness Campaign began today with a strong focus on respect for sanitation workers and improved city hygiene. Inspired by a similar gesture during the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela, the Mayor started the campaign by honoring female sanitation workers in a symbolic and emotional ceremony.
Tribute to Sanitation Workers
As part of the launch of the Chandigarh Mayor Cleanliness Campaign, the Mayor washed the feet of female sanitation workers. He also applied a tilak on their foreheads and showered flower petals on them as a mark of respect.
He said that sanitation workers are the real heroes of the city. Moreover, he appreciated their continuous efforts in keeping Chandigarh clean and livable. Officials and staff from various municipal wings attended the program.
Focus on Monsoon Cleanliness Drive
The Mayor Launches Cleanliness Campaign aims to tackle monsoon-related challenges such as waterlogging and drainage blockages. Therefore, the municipal corporation has started a large-scale cleaning drive across the city.
Under this initiative, workers will clean roads, streets, drains, and the entire drainage system. As a result, rainwater flow will improve, and flooding issues will reduce in low-lying areas.
Infrastructure Cleaning and Repairs
In addition, the campaign will focus on residential areas and major markets. Authorities will carry out deep cleaning operations to improve sanitation standards.
Furthermore, teams will trim trees, maintain parks, and repair damaged footpaths, service lanes, and railings. Streetlights and electric poles will also undergo maintenance to ensure proper functioning.
Strict Monitoring and Supervision
The Mayor Launches Cleanliness Campaign will operate under strict supervision. Superintending Engineers, Executive Engineers (XENs), and Health Supervisors will monitor field-level execution.
Moreover, the Mayor and senior officials will conduct surprise inspections in different sectors and markets. These inspections will help identify gaps in cleanliness and ensure quick corrective action.
Public Welfare and Long-Term Vision
The Mayor highlighted that this campaign is not just a one-time effort. Instead, it aims to build a long-term system for better urban hygiene and infrastructure.
He also stated that employees who perform well in cleanliness initiatives will receive certificates and recognition in the future. Consequently, this will encourage better performance and stronger public service delivery.
The Mayor Launches Cleanliness Campaign reflects a strong commitment to public welfare, improved sanitation, and respect for frontline workers who keep the city clean every day.
