Special Correspondent

Local bodies to organise work


Roadsides to be cleared of grass and weeds

Blocks in drains to be removed


Thiruvananthapuram: The State government has asked local bodies to organise the pre-monsoon cleaning work from May 5 to 15.

According to a circular issued by the Local Self-government Department here, local bodies should hold special meetings on April 15 to discuss the matter.

Health and cleaning committees should coordinate the activities with work at the ward-level being led by the committee headed by the councillor or member.

Employees of the Health Department, representatives of voluntary agencies and members of residents’ associations should be involved in the ward-level activities.

Prior to the pre-monsoon cleaning operations, the Public Works Department and the local bodies should remove the grass and weeds on the sides of roads and sand and other waste accumulated in gutters.

The two agencies and the Water Resources Department should remove blocks in drains.

These works should be completed before April 30. Heads of offices should lead the cleaning work in all government offices and public sector units.

Mosquito eradication should be carried out at the household level with all members of the family participating in the removal of vessels, bottles and lids in which water could collect. They should repeat the dry-day exercise on April 20, 27 and May 4, 11 and 18.

The LSG Department has asked each department to prepare detailed reports of the cleaning operations and forward them to the government.
