Pune: As part of its Comprehensive Cleanliness (Deep Cleaning) Campaign, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) carried out an intensive cleanliness drive on Thursday (December 12) in the Nagar Road area.

The campaign, aimed at addressing various civic issues, involved coordinated efforts by multiple municipal departments to improve public spaces and infrastructure.
