Although there has been improvement in the state of cleanliness across the city, President Irfaan Ali said that “heavy” focus will be placed on enforcement to ensure that it is maintained.

“We have given enough time, enough education programmes; enforcement is going to become a major aspect of what we are doing,” a statement from the Office of the President quoted Ali as saying as he called for intensified efforts to curb the dumping of garbage.

According to the OP statement, Ali said work will commence on improving the secondary drainage run-off across the country in a phased manner following the cleanup exercise.
