She told both officials and street vendors that it is a collective responsibility of all to keep the city clean.
Appealing to the public, Gurjar said, “In order to keep Jaipur city clean and beautiful, two hours of shramdaan was needed because no system can be completely successful until the public is aware. This campaign will be launched in every zone and cleanliness competition will be organised while taking forward the tradition of prosperity through cleanliness.”
As part of the campaign, areas will be identified where cleanliness has suffered due to sanitation workers’ strike.
