The Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry is rolling out Safai Apnao, Bimaari Bhagao initiative under Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0 from 1st July to 31st August.
It aims to enhance the preparedness of Urban Local Bodies to handle the challenges posed by heavy rainfall and heightened health risks.
It calls for comprehensive interventions focusing on cleanliness, advocacy and inter-departmental convergence to be implemented by all Urban Local Bodies.
It aligns with the Health Ministry’s ‘STOP Diarrhoea Campaign’.
