Under the mega drive, all the 65 wards of the Kota Municipal Corporation were cleaned. A total of 100 locations were targeted. The locations included playgrounds, hospitals, government offices, police stations, national highways and educational institutions.
Mayor Mahesh Vijay along with the students took the oath of cleanliness. After this, the students took placards in their hands with a Clean Kota-Healthy Kota slogan.
