Stressing that cleanliness and drug menace are two issues that need a collaborative effort of all, the DC urged the corporators to carry out intensive awareness within their respective wards from time to time. 
The DC informed that on 28th August along with the mass cleanliness drive, awareness drive on drug menace will also be carried out. He asked the corporators to identify locations which are most likely to be used as garbage dumping zone so that proper awareness could be given to the residents to refrain from throwing garbage around and to hand it over only to the garbage lifting vehicles. He also stressed on the need to educate the residents to learn to segregate the waste at source itself.
The DC also asked the corporators to regularly monitor the garbage disposal mechanism especially to keep a check on hotels and restaurants that generate huge waste.
Also stressing that cooperation of all is required to check the menace of drugs, the DC asked the corporators to inform if they come across anybody who is associated with drug peddling or anybody whose family is into drugs so that necessary measures can be taken.
The DC also briefed about various policies and programs of state government for controlling the menace of drugs. 
During the programme, banners, refreshments and T shirts will be provided by the DA to all the volunteers as submitted by corporators. DIPRO
