Chief minister Vasundhara Raje launched this sanitation campaign `Swachhta Hi Seva’ from Jaipur state hangar. This state-level cleanliness campaign-`Swachhta Hi Seva’ was about to start from Jaipur’s Gator area. But due to ill health of Chief Minister of state, Vasundhara Raje, it began from Jaipur state hangar.
Under this cleanliness campaign, 5-6 wards of the city will take up cleaning campaign every day. This will be done by employing available resources with the JMC. They will remove garbage, bushes and other filth that made the city dirty said officials of Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC).
