This initiative aims to streamline door-to-door waste collection in Zones 2, 5, and 8, while also providing employment opportunities to around 5,000 individuals, including men and women, directly and indirectly. Sharma highlighted the impact of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, emphasizing that cleanliness is a shared responsibility of all citizens. He further stated that municipal bodies are now competing to make cities cleaner and greener, with Lucknow setting an example for others to follow.
