“Today (Friday), the cleaning work was undertaken at Ranchi Lake, Button Talab, Tetartoli pond, Jail Talab and Chadhri pond. We will barricade a small portion of ponds where people can throw puja items,” RMC health officer Kiran Kumari said. The civic body has decided to put up banners and hoardings near ponds to seek public support. Like last year, the RMC will dig up as many as 10 temporary ponds in Wards 26 and 27. “The post-Chhath cleaning work will be undertaken at ponds, but we will not use the tractors that carry garbage for the purpose.
