Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Sayeed Khokon today urged different government institutions to carry out awareness campaigns to promote cleanliness in the city.

In a meeting with 26 local government bodies including the city corporation, Wasa and Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) officials, Khokon asked the different bodies to conduct mass awareness campaigns to encourage people to keep the city clean.

He called upon the various bodies to carry out campaigns like a cleaning drive or rally at least once in the month of January or February to raise awareness for a clean Dhaka.

"On Valentine's Day (February 14) we will gather in solidarity to show our love for Dhaka by taking steps to keep it clean," said Khokon.
