To create awareness about cleanliness, the RWMC communication teams conducted a door-to-door campaign in the Union Council-39 on Wednesday. According to RWMC spokesman, waste bags and pamphlets were distributed among the residents and shopkeepers in the Waris Khan area to highlight the importance of cleanliness.

The teams appealed to the residents to keep their houses and workplaces dry and clean to avoid the breeding and growth of mosquitoes and other diseases. "Keeping our surroundings clean will only help the betterment of society," the spokesman said.
