Water channels across the city to be cleaned in a mass cleaning programme
The Madurai Corporation has proposed to remove garbage lying in water channels for years together on a daily basis by deploying its conservancy team and machines in a big way across the four zones. Between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. daily, the teams would clear the water channels. The campaign, with the theme, Ezhilmigu Madurai, will be undertaken in one ward a day in each of the four zones. On day one, the civic authorities had chosen S Alangulam (Ward 4 in zone 1), Tirupalai (Ward 24, zone 2), Nelpettai (ward 50 zone 3) and Melavasal (ward 81, zone 4) for the mass cleaning activity.
