DIRECTOR of Sport, Steve Ninvalle, yesterday organisaed and spearheaded a clean-up drive in West Ruimveldt.
The clean-up drive targeted the Shopper’s Lane area and included weeding and grading of the playfield and the removal of debris from the roadside and drains.
The exercise follows on the heels of His Excellency, President Irfaan Ali’s launching of Operation Clean Up, which is aimed at restoring the Capital City to it rightful name of ‘Garden City’.
Following the clean-up exercise, football and cricket competitions were down to be held at the same playfield which was cut and graded as part of yesterday’s clean-up programme.
Ninvalle said he was heartened by the response from the residents and the enthusiasm shown by the young people in the area, and promised to continue such exercises in the surrounding communities.
