Under this campaign, for the next three weeks on every Sunday, polythene waste will be collected and discarded from the excess polythene waste areas. This campaign was carried out by dividing Arera colony into 14 sectors and giving each sector to a responsible official. To dispose away the collected waste sufficient numbers of waste disposal vehicles and cleaners were assigned to each sector.
Corporation Commissioner Bhardwaj inspected all the sectors and encouraged the officials and employees. Under the dry polythene campaign the BMC will continue to clean other places in the city for next three weeks.
With this campaign in place the entire Arera Hills area seems to be cleaned and beautified. The collected waste has been sent for disposal. Similar drives are expected to encourage the citizens to keep their city clean.
