- More than 500 sanitation workers deployed trucks and mechanized equipment to clear debris, while volunteers including Kushwant Arya and Hemant Chanda joined the effort by sweeping streets.
- "I feel very happy, though its the first step," said Chanda, as volunteers expressed optimism that the cleanup reflects a broader commitment to education system accountability.
