The campaign was launched in May during which 75.74-kilometer drains were cleaned while 69.4 in the month of June. Besides, 616.29 km primary and secondary drains were cleared during the last six months, said WSSP spokesperson, Hassan Ali. The official said that WSSP cleared 60 to 70 km drains every month on average.
