Volunteers from Sri Subrahmanya Sabha undertook the cleanliness drive on Canara College Road, Jail Road and Veterinary Hospital Road. They cleaned the road in front of Canara College, along with the side and adjoining gutters.

They removed old posters and banners and later cleaned the gutters along the jail compound. They swept CG Kamath Road and the road leading to Karangalpady.

Team Mangalore Seniors carried out the cleanliness drive in Bejai and the surrounding areas. The volunteers cleaned the area around the KSRTC bus stand and Bejai Main Road. The area in front of the bus shelter opposite Bharath Mall in Bejai was uneven and was a nuisance to the public. The land was levelled. In the coming days, seats will be set up in the bus shelter for passengers.
