Volunteers cleaned the surroundings of All India Radio campus under the leadership of Vasudev and MLC Captain Ganesh Karnik. The road leading from AIR to Kadri Park was also cleaned. Weeds and grass that were covering the footpaths and encroaching the road near Kadri Park were removed using earthmovers.   

 

Bus shelter at Padua wore a ghastly look. Volunteers cleaned the shelter and painted the railings and the bus shelter itself giving a facelift. The direction board near Kadri Park was worn out. It was repainted for the benefit of the public. The distance indicating milestones on the Padua high way was invisible due to wild grass enveloping it. The grass was removed and the board was repainted.

 

The circle in front of Vas Bakery in St Agnes Area was cleaned and repair work was done last week. This week too, the work was continued by plastering with cement etc. The circle will be painted with art and graffiti in the coming few days.
