Collector G.S. Sameeran in the presence of Corporation Commissioner Raja Gopal Sunkara launched a mass cleaning exercise in the city on Monday.
The exercise aimed at dredging natural drains and cleaning storm water drains was a part of the State-wide exercise launched by the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department ahead of the North-East Monsoon season, Mr. Sameeran said.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight.
