In response to the significant accumulation of plastic waste at the YMCA Grounds following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s public meeting, the Greater Chennai Corporation swiftly organized cleanup efforts. Requesting assistance from a private agency specializing in solid waste management, the GCC mobilized workers to clear the littered venue.
Special teams, including women sweepers and operators of Battery Operated Vehicles, were deployed to tackle the waste disposal task efficiently. Despite the agency’s usual operating hours, workers were extended to ensure thorough cleaning both during and after the event. Additionally, bins were strategically placed for waste disposal, reflecting a proactive approach to managing post-event waste.
The corporation’s prompt action underscores its commitment to maintaining cleanliness and environmental stewardship within the community.
