Urbaser-Sumeet, the company outsourced to perform conservancy operations in the seven zones of the Greater Chennai Corporation, has launched an initiative to paint walls in the Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board tenements in Kannagi Nagar in a bid to improve cleanliness in the area.
Hari Balaji, head of the information, communication and education department, Urbaser-Sumeet, said the idea was to focus on areas between the buildings that had usually remained a place to dump garbage.
He said the company engaged with residents to understand their needs and expectations on what can be painted. He said one of the things they highlighted was paintings that were attractive to children so that they played in those areas.
