Director of Sport Steve Ninvalle yesterday organized and spearheaded a clean-up drive in West Ruimveldt home of several national past and present national sportsmen.
The cleanup drive targeted the Shopper’s lane area and included weeding and grading of the West Ruimveldt playfield, home to many former national footballers.
The campaign also saw the removal of debris from the roadside and surrounding drains.
The exercise follows on the heels of His Excellency President Irfaan Ali’s launch of Operation Clean Up which is aimed at restoring the Capital City to its rightful name of the Garden City.
Following the clean-up exercise, football and cricket competitions were scheduled to be held at the same playfield which was cut and graded as part of yesterday’s clean-up programme.
DoS Ninvalle said that he was heartened by the response from the residents and the enthusiasm shown by the young people from the area and promised to continue such exercises in the surrounding communities.
