Laying special emphasis on the cleanliness of the city, CM Yogi directed the Municipal Commissioner that the city should be cleaned and garbage should be picked up daily as well as stressed the need to pay special attention to the regular cleaning of city toilets.

CM Yogi said that ensure good sanitation as the G-20 program will be held in the coming days. Emphasizing that all possible preparations should be completed to deal with the possible flood situation, he said that in case of flood, immediate facilities should be made available to the affected people of the area avoiding delay in relief operations.
