Sanitation Service Marathon-2026 started in Jaipur: Commissioner himself entered the field, gave strict warning to those spreading filth.

Jaipur, 18 April. To make the Pink City garbage free and beautiful, the Municipal Corporation has started the biggest cleaning campaign ever on Saturday. This campaign has been named ‘Safai Seva Marathon-2026’. The seriousness of the campaign can be gauged from the fact that even on a holiday, Corporation Commissioner Om Kasera along with his entire team entered the field at 7 in the morning and took charge of the cleanliness system.

When the Commissioner saw the filth during the inspection of Kishanpol market, he could not control himself. He along with a sanitation worker collected the garbage and put it in the dustbin. However, he also expressed his displeasure after seeing the filth spread around Ajmeri Gate and Jaleb Chowk. The Commissioner not only did the cleaning, but also interacted with the general public and took their feedback.
