After the inauguration, Thiaga Rajan flagged off 40 LCV for solid waste management in the city.

As a part of it, 40 new LCV were procured by the civic body, said a senior corporation official.
During the flagging off event, commercial taxes minister P Moorthy, mayor Indrani Ponvasanth, corporation commissioner K J Praveen Kumar, zonal chairpersons and councillors of South zone were present.
