Ground-breaking ceremony: LMC on the job to clean city, deck up VIP route
The effort is to make every investor and delegate feel special during their stay in the state capital.
The Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) is leaving no stone unturned to clean the city and to deck the roads from the CCSI Airport to Indira Gandhi Pratishthan. The effort is to make every investor and delegate feel special during their stay in the state capital.
Municipal commissioner Ajay Dwivedi said, “The LMC has appointed more than 2,500 sanitation workers to ensure a cleaner Lucknow during the ground-breaking ceremony. Daily drives against litter bugs are yielding good results. The LMC is penalising around 300 people daily for littering the roads for the last one week. Also, the animal-catching squad is also in action on VVIP routes. Besides, CCTV cameras are operational to stop theft of flower pots from the CCSI Airport to Indira Gandhi Pratishthan.”
All zonal officers and sanitation supervisors have been allotted areas to ensure cleaning of the route from the CCSI Airport to the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan.
All street lights from the CCSI Airport to the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan have been checked and damaged lights have been replaced with the new ones, said Dwivedi.
He added, “Water is being sprinkled on trees and roads to control the spread of dust on the routes of VVIPs. Besides, city crossings are decked up with special tricolor lights; the trees are also decorated with tricolor lights. We want every investor to feel special during his stay in the state capital.”
The Lucknow Electricity Supply Administration has also made arrangements for uninterrupted power supply during the ground-breaking ceremony. All transformers have been repeatedly checked and tested.
