Private sector lends help to Corporation

Thiruvananthapuram: The Clean City project of the City Corporation received a helping hand from the private sector on Sunday with the local unit of Fullerton India Credit Company organising a community-based environmental health programme.

Mayor C. Jayan Babu inaugurated the programme titled ‘Sucheekarana Yajnam’ that seeks to promote hygienic practices among the public. The initiative is designed to bring together business community groups, schools, government agencies and the public to improve the environment.

The staff of Fullerton’s branches in the district joined hands to clean up the stretch of M.G. Road from Pulimoodu Junction to Statue and Pattom.

The Mayor inaugurated the programme by wielding a broom to clean up the road. Commenting on the initiative, company CEO G.S. Sundararajan said, “It is our way of reaching out to the people in Thiruvananthapuram, which represents a key market for us. We look forward to supporting more community programmes in future.”
