Thorough cleanup to reduce festive waste at Batu Caves

Rubbish bins placed at strategic spots outside the temple in Batu Caves during last year’s Thaipusam when workers collected 380 tonnes of wastes.

Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) is allocating RM160,000 to manage waste outside the Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple compound in Batu Caves, Selangor, for Thaipusam.

Workers hired by the local council will work round the clock to dispose of rubbish during the period leading up to the festival on Jan 25.
