KARACHI, Aug 27: Shah Faisal Town Nazim Muhammad Imran on Sunday announced launching of week-long cleanliness drive from Aug 28 to Sept 2.

All the damaged roads would be repaired besides removing the filth from roads and streets during the cleanliness-week, he said while addressing town officers at a meeting held after making a detailed visit to different areas of the town.
