The success of the cleaning operation on the 11th day of Kunda’s cleanliness campaign can also be gauged from the fact that 28 tonnes of water hyacinth and 3 tonnes of dry waste were removed on Wednesday. Giving information, Municipal Health Officer Prakash Chitte said that from May 7 to May 16, 10.46 tonnes of water hyacinth and wet waste and 0.909 tonnes of dry waste were removed. After the JCB landed in the river, the scene is being seen that it is being cleaned on a war footing.
