For smooth conduct of the drive, officials had formed three teams, which were deployed in each sector. They moved to all the corners of the respective sectors to pick up waste and disseminate information about the benefit of maintaining cleanliness.

Besides cleaning, officials also listened to issues pertaining to civic issues in the respective sector. They noted down these issues and assured residents that they would be resolved shortly.

Brajesh Sharma, a resident of Sector 78, said that they went ahead to participate the cleanliness drive while it was in progress at Gijhor, a local village in Noida.

It is a good thing that people are gradually getting educated about the benefits of maintaining cleanliness.”
