Carrying out the special night sanitary drive at the Gandhipuram bus terminus, sanitary workers of the Coimbatore Corporation today collected 60 kg of garbage.

Around 25 workers involved in the drive washed the platforms, cleared the walls of posters and collected litter from the terminus. Sanitory officer and nodal officer of Swachh Bharath KV Thirumal said that the drive was undertaken from Wednesday 10 pm to Thursday 2 am.
