On the first day of Swachch Hyderabad, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao today removed garbage in a drive taken up at Parsigutta near Ram Nagar.
Minister Padma Rao Goud assisted KCR in lifting the garbage casket to shift into a tractor.
Later, KCR interacted with the people and patiently heard their problems related to non-lifting of garbage, poor maintenance of roads, drinking water and other amenities like public toilets.
The Chief Minister appealed to the people to form teams to lift the garbage and remove the dust as part of the program.
He also directed the officials to plunge into swift action to ensure the scheme motivated the people to participate voluntarily. Unless the people involved themselves in the pious program, the city would not get a beautiful look, KCR averred.
Home Minister N Narsimha Reddy participated in a similar program near the Ram Nagar SRT quarters. (NSS)
