After a slow start last Sunday, with a focus on areas in two zones of the city, the BMC undertook a simultaneous deep cleaning drive in five zones on Saturday. To review the drive’s progress, CM Eknath Shinde visited various spots in the targeted zones.

This is part of the state of Maharashtra’s cleanliness initiative, flagged off on December 3. Under this initiative, one ward in each zone will be cleaned every Saturday. The campaign this week focused on five wards: K East, K West, M West, N and R South.
