The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has launched the "Safai Apnao, Bimaari Bhagao" initiative, running from 1 July to 31 August 2024, to help Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) prepare for the monsoon season with a focus on sanitation and cleanliness.
This initiative is a component of the ‘STOP Diarrhoea Campaign’ by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, aimed at preventing diarrhoea through improved sanitation and cleanliness, particularly during the monsoon.
The initiative involves organizing special cleanliness drives for waste collection and transportation, and ensuring the regular cleaning of community and public toilets, necessitating cooperation among various departments for effective implementation.
