The exercise which began on Wednesday June 10 to 12 at 7:00 a.m., target major drainage channels and waterways in Roman Ridge, Mallam, Paloma, Circle, Kaneshie and GBC areas, where teams undertook extensive cleaning and desilting works to improve the free flow of rainwater and reduce the risk of flooding.

The initiative comes in the wake of recent heavy downpours that have triggered flooding in some parts of the capital, raising concerns about the impact of poor waste disposal practices and clogged drainage systems on public safety.
