"Swarnandhra Swachhandhra campaign is all about imparting awareness to the citizens and making them part of this inclusive journey. But over the last 10 years, this has already been happening in the city of Visakhapatnam. We are one of the cleanest cities, only because of the citizens of Visakhapatnam. Using this campaign, we have been creating awareness among citizens on various sanitation initiatives and how to handle the cleanliness challenges that we have in the country. We have done 12 campaigns last year, and this year, this is the fifth campaign. This month, we are working on the plastic ban and reducing plastic usage," he said.
