NELLORE: Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) Minister P Narayana announced that the State will become garbage-free by October 2, in line with Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s vision of ‘Swachh Andhra Pradesh’.
Speaking during an inspection of the bio-mining and recycling unit at Allipuram dump yard in Nellore rural mandal, he confirmed rapid waste clearance is progressing with support from Jigma Global Environ Solutions Private Limited.
