Srinagar, May 4: The Srinagar Municipal Corporation has started for Fridays a special weekly sanitation drive for historic Jamia Masjid and the Hazratbal shrine.
The SMC spokesperson said some 400 Safai Walas have been assigned the drive to keep the shrines neat and clean by early morning on the day when Muslims go for congregational Salah.
By 11:00 AM the twin shrines, which witness huge rush of Musalees on Fridays, were cleaned while people have welcomed the endeavor.
