The initiative aims not only to compel residents and business owners to take responsibility for cleanliness but also to encourage it as a regular culture. Anagor commended transport service providers and residents at Arroma for their active participation and assured them of support. He urged chairpersons to improve waste management practices to safeguard public health and enhance the city's aesthetics.
