On the last day of “Swacch Hyderabad” program – a cleanliness drive — taken up prestigiously by the TRS government, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday paid a visit to Kothapet Fruit Market near Saroonagar here and interacted with people and farmers and asked about the problems they are facing.
Later, the Chief Minister asked the civic officials to keep the market premises and surroundings clean and avoid stagnation of water that may lead to stink and possible spread of diseases. As the market is thronged by a large number of people and many vehicles bring fruits of myriad varieties to the market every day, the officials should see staff is pressed into service to clear garbage before it gets piled up, he directed. The Chief Minister also asked the people to make use of dust bins put up near the compound wall and try to keep healthy.
Directing the civic officials to place adequate number of dust bins at the market and ask the consumers to use them, KCR said staff should keep the premises clean by regular sweeping and spreading of bleaching powder. He said cleanliness is godliness and one has to voluntarily participate in the clean drive at their homes and premises. (NSS)
