Coimbatore Corporation Begins Post-Diwali Waste Clearance Drive

Coimbatore: Coimbatore Corporation has launched an intensive waste clearance drive across the city after garbage piled up on roads following Deepavali celebrations and a public holiday that extended into November 9.

Corporation workers and sanitation staff have commenced garbage collection and removal in various wards, as firecracker debris, discarded cartons and cardboard boxes were dumped across several parts of the city following the celebrations.

The clearance drive has become particularly crucial since any rainfall could soak the cardboard boxes and other waste, making the removal process more difficult. The Corporation has therefore begun clearing the accumulated waste at the earliest.

As part of the drive, waste is being loaded into trucks and cleared from Siva Nagar in Ward 53. Similar operations are under way along Sowripalayam Road in Ward 51, where vehicles are being deployed to remove accumulated waste.

The Corporation has intensified the cleanup drive to ensure clean and hygienic surroundings for residents following the festival.
