The Uttar Pradesh Urban Development Department has announced a special campaign to strengthen civic facilities in urban local bodies ahead of Navratri, Durga Puja, and Dussehra. The drive will focus on road cleaning, lighting, drinking water supply, and traffic management.
According to the plan, a statewide field inspection campaign will be conducted across all divisions from September 20 to October 2. The government has appointed secretaries, special secretaries, and officials from the Directorate of Urban Local Bodies as nodal officers for the inspections.
These officers will tour their assigned divisions to assess and review civic arrangements.
Urban Development Minister AK Sharma said the initiative is part of the ongoing ‘Swachhata Hi Seva-2025 Swachhotsav’ campaign under the Swachh Bharat Mission. The focus is on improving sanitation systems, repairing pothole-ridden roads, and ensuring smooth traffic flow ahead of the festive season.
“The main goal is to provide a clean, healthy, and well-managed environment in urban areas before the upcoming festivals,” Sharma stated.
