In a concerted effort to maintain cleanliness and care for the environment, municipal services in Tunisia have been actively engaged in various operations over the past 24 hours. These initiatives, undertaken by the municipal authorities of Tunis, have focused on several key areas including waste collection, cleaning of markets and thoroughfares, and maintenance of stormwater drainage systems. The efforts aim to enhance the aesthetic appeal and environmental quality of public spaces.

Specifically, in the Bab Bhar district, municipal services intervened in the Souk Al-Munif area as part of their regular program for cleanliness and environmental care. The goal was to improve the cleanliness of public spaces and markets. Similar interventions were conducted in other districts, including the removal of waste and cleaning of surroundings in several locations. These actions underscore the commitment of local authorities to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and environmental hygiene.

In the Sejegomi district, the focus was on cleaning the weekly market area in Al-Mallasin, including adjacent streets and pathways. This effort was aimed at enhancing environmental cleanliness and improving living conditions in the area. Meanwhile, in the Al-Khudra district, municipal services carried out their routine interventions for cleanliness and environmental care at multiple sites, further emphasizing the comprehensive nature of these operations.

The Bab Souiqa district also witnessed significant activity, with municipal services intervening in the evening to clean around waste containers and maintain the drainage system at the Basili sewage outlet. These actions reflect a broader strategy to ensure that public areas remain clean and that essential infrastructure is properly maintained.

In the City of Tunis, municipal services undertook a wide-ranging cleanup operation, targeting residential waste, construction debris, and discarded furniture. Such efforts not only contribute to environmental cleanliness but also help in maintaining public health standards. The interventions across different districts of Tunis highlight the coordinated approach being adopted to address cleanliness and environmental concerns.

As part of preparations for potential weather fluctuations, the Roads and Sidewalks Department in the Sejegomi district conducted an operation to clear stormwater drainage channels and manholes near the Rapid Train station in the Najah area. This proactive measure aims to mitigate the impact of heavy rainfall and ensure smooth traffic flow.
