In a bid to transform the cleanliness initiatives in Mumbai, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has initiated a comprehensive campaign to keep the city's slum areas clean. Chief Minister Shinde's directive comes as a response to his visit to the Vatsalatai Naik Nagar SRA Colony in Kurla on Sunday, during which he expressed his commitment to improving the living conditions for the city's slums, an official statement said.

Chief Minister Shinde has directed municipal authorities to maintain a rigorous cleaning schedule, with public toilets and facilities across Mumbai being cleaned a remarkable five times a day. This move is aimed at drastically improving sanitation standards in densely populated areas, including slums and alleys, the statement said.
