Meanwhile, We have to be aware against polythene. I'm planning to market something new as an alternative. I am going from ward to ward and conducting cleanliness drives. We are monitoring whether mosquito spraying activities are being done properly. Although there is no ward councilor, I am asking the leaders and activists to work together. We have to unite to ensure the service of the people.”
