UDHD secretary Sunil Kumar said, “This is an intensive cleanliness campaign. We are mobilising all resources and machinery, especially in urban areas. Following the govt of India’s directions and guidelines, Jharkhand is committed to making visible progress on sanitation and waste segregation.” In Ranchi, the campaign was flagged soff by the Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC).
