KATHMANDU, May 16: A mega clean-up campaign has been organized in and around the premises of the quake-collapsed buildings and different heritages in the district today.
Government officials and other locals joined the campaign led by Chief Secretary Lila Mani Poudyal. The wreckages were collected and removed from the sites as part of the campaign today. The campaign of removing the debris began last Saturday.
Chief Secretary Poudyal said that the participation of government officials, media persons, security personnel, contractors, representatives of various organizations was found less in number than the last Saturday but the participation would be made more effective from coming Saturday. While wrapping up the campaign, chief secretary Poudyal said the campaign would continue unless all the debris caused by quake devastation was collected. He added that the Bagmati River Clean-up Campaign was diverted to debris removal after the April 25 massive earthquake and subsequent aftershocks hit the country causing huge damages.
The Chief Secretary added that the people were expecting generous cooperation and supports from all sides at this time of national tragedy. The clean-up campaign has been organized in 50 places in Lalitpur, Bhaktapur and Kathmandu district today.
