For pedestrians, five special drives under ‘Walk Free’ have been conducted across various zones and footpaths have been restored. The drive will continue, she said, adding that cases would be registered against those attempting to encroach on the reclaimed footpaths.

The Commissioner said a QR code system would soon be affixed to every house to ensure garbage collection runs smoothly, and 5,000 sanitation workers would be trained in association with the Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI).
