The city has been given a new look with fresh coats of paint on walls, road dividers and pavement railings ahead of the Indo-Japan Summit on December 15 next.
Moreover, the State Government is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the city is thoroughly decked up ahead of the Indo-Japan Summit through the massive clean-up and beautification drive that is still underway.
