The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has launched the Swachh Toilet Campaign, coinciding with World Toilet Day, and will run until December 25, marking Good Governance Day, officials said. The campaign aims to improve the cleanliness, maintenance, and beautification of all public and community toilets in the district, ensuring better sanitation standards for all residents, they added.

These efforts, already conducted in over 10 public toilets, aim to raise awareness about proper sanitation practices and will expand to more facilities in the coming weeks, MCG officials said.  (HT Archive)
